Koishiya Ryokan

I want to send a huge thanks to the staff who drove me to the train station. The food there was amazing too! Great bed and room.

総じて満足のいくものでした。建物は時代を感じるが、綺麗に清掃されており快適に過ごすことができました。スタッフの方々はとても親切で良かったです。一点改善点を挙げるとすれば、事前に駐車所の場所がわかるようにした頂ければ助かります。旅館の説明で駐車料金１日800円となっておりますが、現在1000円でした。

Perfect spot. Large room. Sort of patio area. Friendly staff. This is shared bathroom. I would.come back with my family again.

staff were wonderful and kind, area was beautiful as well

Was a great stay at this great little inn. It may be a bit different than what most western guest expect to find, but I went for the Ryokan experience and was not disappointed. Staff were really great, helpful in scheduling transport to the monkey park and to the train station. Room was clean, good size, and had everything I needed. The town itself is a cute little village and it was a great experience going to all 9 baths in the town. The baths themselves could use a bit more attention... some were in need of a good cleaning. But regardless it was a unique and fun experience to walk around town in a Yakuta and hop from bath to bath. Make sure to get your souvenir towel stamped at each one!

Friendly staff! Good location

We had such an amazing experience here. Great place in this charming village of Japan. We’ll definitely come back.

The ryokan is in the perfect location for wandering around Shibu Onsen and is right next to all the public baths. They provide a shuttle service to and from the local train station in Yudanaka and a free shuttle to the Monkey Park. They have a breakfast menu and serve dinner on some nights but not all, so be prepared to find your own food in the town. Note that the food options can be limited as many places have varying opening hours. The Ryokan is traditional, the rooms are big and clean and you make your own beds. They provide yukata and everything you need to enjoy the public onsens. There are shared bathrooms and limited shower facilities. Gendered bathrooms are on different floors, you may not have a bathroom on your floor. The ryokan has many rooms and gets quite busy so book your shuttles early. The staff were wonderful and speak excellent English. The Ryokan was excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience this delightful town without spending a fortune on accommodation.

Great location. Helpful staff. Clean and comfortable. A perfect stay.

War gut

Very welcoming Ryokan, with stylish old style room. Just take care not to make noise. But the village is really cute in the middle of the mountain with the 9 public hot springs.

Friendly staff and everything was easy for us. Shuttle service to & from station was excellent as well as to the monkey park.

Fantastic! If you are looking for the plushest hotel with facilities everywhere … then not for you. If you want a beautiful traditional ryokan with access to the baths, clean showers and great service where the staff go extra without even asking then stay here. As a father and two sons staying in a traditional room we had a great time.

We loved our stay here.

店主の方が良い方で色々会話も出来て素晴らしいです。

The staff was friendly. Upon arrival the guest gets a yukata and a key to 9 public thermal springs around the town, where he may bath freely. Note that they are extremely hot. The staff also offers a free ride to the Snow Monkey Park or Yudanaka Station in the morning.

建物は古いですがよく改修されていて、シャワーやお手洗いはキレイで掃除が行き届いており快適でした。

The 9 public onsens (baths) were interesting, #9 was the best imo, but the town itself is captivating.

車で行くときは1900迄に公共駐車場が閉まってしまうので要注意。部屋はリノベーションしてもう少し清潔性がほしい。 外湯の温泉の泉質は9つあり、純粋に温泉を楽しむには隠れた名湯かもしれない。

A beautiful Ryokan in a typical Japanese village. A unique experience in a lovely room. Enjoy the little onsens, each one with different water sources.
