Search Villas in Yudanaka Shibu Onsen

"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. "

"Everyone on staff made us feel welcome from the start. Aziz and both ladies at the front desk were extremely helpful and lovely people. We will always remember them abs their friendliness and how nice our stay was. Will stay here again. The onsen is fabulous!"

"Very nice hotel in a great location adjacent to railway. Easy access to shops and restaurants. The only issue was finding a bar in the hotel. Got ripped off with so called happy hour in hotel. "

"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. "

"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!!!"

"We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the private onsen. Highly recommend! Very convenient for traveling to see the Snow Monkeys. Thanks for a great stay, wish we could have stayed longer."

"Went with the half board and used the osen. Both completely exceeded my family's expectations. Loved everything!"

"Our stay here in March 2025 was wonderful. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful, even picked us up from the station without prior arrangement! The food was incredible, traditional Japanese breakfast that set us up for the day and a delicious dinner which when combined with the sake and very comfortable futons ensured a great night’s sleep. Took advantage of the private Onsen which was very relaxing. However with so many public Onsen (including at the hotel) it was a bit of an indulgence! Absolutely loved this place and would come back in a heartbeat!"

"Amazing place! Loved the kaiseki and on site onsen experience "
