Kazuyoshi and family was so nice and kind. They provided the highest quality service and hospitality we’ve had so far ever! Their property is so healing and peaceful with their on property private Onsen’s. Their close location to the snow monkey park was so worth it as well! Their dining experience was so amazing and delicious! We will bring our family back for sure.
Mahalo and Aloha Kazuyoshi San and family! Much respect and a Big Thank you! Jya mata!
Beautiful historic property. Comfortable rooms. The hot spring baths make this a must. Very close to snow monkey park and the best part - they will shuttle you from the train station, to the hotel, to the monkey park, to dinner and to the train station. Staff is very helpful. Awesome place.
The love and attention the owners put into this property making sure all our needs was taking care of has surpassed our expectations. You are treated as a guest in their home. Will definitely recommend. Our family made incredible memories there.
The most wonderful place, beautiful location and kind service. The private onsen is definitely worth the visit. And the food service is traditional and generous. Only a few minutes from the snow monkeys and the staff will take you there and pick you up.
Shibu Hotel is very beautiful. Our Deluxe Twin room looks like new. The room is much larger than advertised. We were lucky to book half board as the private dining room is beautiful and the staff is just so courteous. The meals are so beautifully decorated and delicious. The onsen is clean and very warm. We were picked up from the train station and were driven to the Snow Monkey Park. We love this place and will definitely come back.
The Shibu Hotel is a family run ryokan. The service level is beyond exceptional. They both fulfilled everything we wanted before we asked, but found ways to make our stay more pleasant than we had thought of.
The kaiseki dinners and Japanese breakfasts were rich, varied and authentic. And again the staff that served us were exceptional.
While we enjoyed the village onsens, the onsens at the Shibu Hotel were our favorites.
