The property could stand some renovation, but was nice overall and in a pretty location. The best part was the staff. They were very kind, considerate, helpful and accommodating. I appreciated them very much. And when I think back on my stay, that will be what I most distinctly remember.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Ryoken experience. We stayed in the Japanese style room and had dinner and breakfast. Both exceeded our expectations. The meals were served in our own private room and were very elaborate and delicious. So many different dishes were included. The staff were very nice. The onsen experience was also very fun. Finally, they made it so convenient to visit the snow monkeys upon arrival. Highly recommend.

This traditional Onsen and inn has excellent staff that is very patient, kind, thoughtful, and pays attention to details. They were very friendly, and willing to speak English to explain and introduce new foods. No matter what time we stopped by front desk, they answered our questions with a smile. They cleaned mud off our shoes after our visit to snow monkey park. Their shuttle service to park and train station was super helpful. They even returned my mother’s forgotten hat to her on the rapid express train before we left town after check out.

One of the best staff who was always super helpful during our stay. Food service at both breakfast and dinner were always of very high quality. Lastly, onsen experience was also very relaxing. I recommend booking the private outdoor onsen.

Staying the night here was unnecessary and expensive. I would advise you to visit the monkey park and then continue onward to wherever you’re headed. Having said that should you decide to spend the night, the room was large comfortable and well appointed. Beds were comfy and there was free tea and beverages in the public lounge. The kaiseki dinner was good but the breakfast was a single tray set menu. No buffet. It’s a sleepy town with 9 onsens, so spring onwards might be worth to get the onsen key, put on your Yukata and go to town (sic). The owners brother drives the shuttle to the money park and the station. He is a lovely person!!! Oh and don’t miss the Chokkun Izakaya. The owner is a character alongwith his wife so you will have a very enjoyable and filling meal - guaranteed.

Such a wonderful stay! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They drove us to and from Yudanaka station, and had no trouble offering us vegetarian kaiseki. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a great sunset view.

We were picked up from the train and immediately got a ride to the monkey park, a major reason for our visit. The hotel then sent a shuttle to pick us up and return us to the hotel where our luggage had already been taken to the room. This was a more traditional place with shoe removal and slippers provided. Dinner was incredible despite my not loving a few of the items in the set course menu. Breakfast was equally fulfilling. We did not take advantage of the public onsens due to our short visit but did use the private onsen in site. At the end of the stay we were driven back to the train station for our departure and given a small token of candies. An excellent stay!

Superb onsen experience. Our room was very clean with comfortable tatami/futon. Outdoor and indoor onsen was very pleasant as were the private onsen. Kaiseki was delicious and filling. Most of all staff and owners were very welcoming and kind. Will come back.

The staff was amazing. Very friendly and professional. I especially like the fact that they picked us up from our bus stop and took us to Snow monkey River. Thereafter, we called them, and they picked us up and took us to the hotel. The private onsen was amazing. I enjoyed it. The 13 course meal was exceptional and tasty This is a must place hotel to be at because they make the whole transition from the bus stop to their place very easy. There is a couple that runs the place and they are helpful, professional, and beautiful!!!

We had the best time at the Shibu Hotel! The staff was so friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel welcome in their little slice of paradise. Our room was beautiful! We were given rides to and from the train station, rides to and from snow monkey park, two great meals, and friendly helpful service at every juncture. The hotel’s private and public onsen’s are great but don’t miss out on the public bath house tour!!! The hotel perfectly placed in the middle of the public bath house tour and will give you a map and a key to access each little bath. One of the best experiences of our entire Japan trip (or any trip). I would also pick one night to and try one of the local restaurants. We loved our smokey bar and home closing experience at a place down the road called Chokkun Izakaya.
