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

"We throughly enjoyed our stay. Super, beautiful hotel, a great staff at the front desk, dining, entertainment was a big surprise. I wished we stayed day or two longer. I would return again when opportunity arise. Thank you all to Sakurai. A Five Star and beyond. "

"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."

"Plenty of parking lot. Very nice female staff member who spoke some English and provided a Yukata for our 6 year old. Large, excellent room with amazing views. Value for money. Green tea provided. Had mostly private onsen experience ie hardly anyone around for both the outdoor and indoor onsen when we visited in early April 2025. Only few minutes drive from Snow monkey carpark. Of the 9 places we stayed in Japan, was our favourite."

"Unbeatable hospitality. I would definitely stay here again."

"We loved staying at Shimaya. The family run ryokan is clean and has only a few rooms. This meant that it was easy to book the private hotel onsen as a family and, later, my daughter and I had the larger women's hotel onsen to ourselves. The family was very helpful and kind, even driving our family to Snow Monkey Park, offering to drive us back, and suggesting a walking route back for exploring Shibu Onsen. They also provided various sized boots that allowed me, my husband, and our 10 year old daughter to have sturdy boots for the walk along the snowy and muddy path up to Snow Monkey Park. Our room was a perfect size for our family of three, including an enclosed balcony with a nice view of the mountains. It was also located a short walk from the train. While the ryokan only offered breakfast (which was great), there were many restaurants in Shibu Onsen and Yudanaka within walking distance. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return if we are able. "

"Just amazing! Wonderful staff. Thank you for making our stay so special. Could not recommend it enough! My family felt really well taking care of. Thank you!!!"
