It was my first time to experience Japanese tatami, which was very unique and had a beautiful view from the window. The room was large and air-conditioned for heating. People who are afraid of cold may not feel that warm, but it will be much better after taking a hot spring bath. The kelp snacks in the room were delicious, and I bought some when I left. Private hot springs are reserved for a fee. The yukata in the room is relatively simple. The best thing is that the hotel provides station pick-up service, and you can go directly to the Wild Monkey Park without luggage the next morning. After the tour, go to the coffee shop next to the parking lot where you get off and call the hotel to pick you up. The hotel will help you carry your luggage and send you directly from the Wild Monkey Park to Yudanaka Station, which is very convenient for independent travel!

Shibu Hotel is the hotel with the highest emotional value in this Japan tour. I was deeply touched by the good service. The hotel is a typical Japanese hotel with large rooms and snow scenery outside the window. This time I came here mainly to see monkeys taking hot springs. The hotel has a free car to take tourists to the foot of Jigokudani Hot Spring Park and pick them up on the return trip. This time I went to see monkeys taking hot springs and helped pick up a friend who lived in other hotels. Thank you very much! The hotel food is Kaiseki cuisine, which is very satisfactory, especially the roast beef, cod, mushroom soup, and fresh tofu are super delicious and fragrant. The room temperature of the hotel's hot spring can be raised a little bit. When leaving the hotel, the proprietress gave me delicious and beautiful special candies. When I got on the car, the hotel manager kept waving goodbye when the car was almost out of sight. At the train station, the driver also helped to bring the luggage to the ticket office. It really left a very good impression of this stay, which is worth recommending.

This is a very bad hotel. The name of the guest is written on a square white paper in black pen at the door of each room, which looks like a mourning hall. The faint-hearted should not stay there. The hotel is located in a remote place in the mountains. All the lights in the front hall are turned off at 12 o'clock in the evening. The hot spring area is very small. I didn't go there, but the water was not clear. There were many foreigners. The person at the front desk had a bad attitude. I guess he didn't treat foreigners like that. He bowed his head and bowed. The dinner was average, all dumplings, which were just enough to fill you up. It was said that there was a masseur, but he was blind. The overall feeling of the hotel was that it was gloomy and weird, especially at night. I advise everyone not to go there.

Very polite and friendly staff at the hotel, great dinner in Japanese traditional style, but inside the hotel is a bit old and shabby. There is a free shuttle, but you need to arrange it in advance

The service is very good. The pick-up at the station and the scenic spot are all arranged in an orderly manner. The whole arrangement is clear~ The room is traditional Japanese style, suitable for people who want to experience the pure Japanese style, and will recommend it to friends around you

This hotel room is the best room I have stayed in after many visits to Japan. The room is spacious, well-planned, and has a beautiful view. The service is also the best. A ********* brother was arranged to introduce us. There is a handwritten welcome sign at the entrance, a handwritten nameplate at the door of the room, a handwritten menu with names for dinner, and a designated location for the shoe cabinet at the entrance. When we came back from hiking and our dirty shoes were wiped clean when we went to the shoe cabinet the next day, the driver who picked us up finally dropped us off at the station and stopped to teach us how to buy tickets. The kaiseki dinner was also great. This is a highly recommended hotel.
