Shibu Onsen Koishiya Ryokan - Yamanouchi (Nagano)

It was great staying close to the nine public baths, and we enjoyed delicious coffee every morning from the restaurant. Was nice.

Running into a bit of a wait for the shared showers was a minor inconvenience, but it was manageable .

spotless unit with a big window as well as comfortable mattresses. public parking nearby provided.

I really enjoyed gorgeous design.

Gorgeous accommodation, the breakfast was great, incredible location to bus stops for visiting the snow monkey park & snow sport areas. Knowledgeable staff, were eager to help with advice about anything. The restaurant was not too far away from the hotel.

This place suits me perfectly, with great wi-fi, a bar/lounge area, and a free shuttle service. The staff helped me with my room issue at night, which I remember fondly. I highly recommend the delicious coffee.

Luxury and absolutely fantastic hotel, I loved delicious breakfast!

The breakfasts with a good cappuccino.

Thank you for a very nice stay. The hotel is gorgeous with best staff, breakfast is excellent, incredible location in the best part of town. The rooms are neat and cheap with exceptionally comfortable beds. Fantastic service, they provide a public parking and free Wi-Fi.

The friendliness of the staff stood out, from free pickup to thoughtful dinner recommendations. Access to multiple onsens heightened the experience even further, making our stay nice and engaging with local culture.

Stunning setting, very welcoming and incredibly nice staff.

Charming hotel for trip. All the staff were eager to help. Big size and cheap rooms with modern comforts like an air conditioner, great breakfast.

The onsen experience was amazing, but the shared bathrooms can get really chilly at night.

Amazing onsen experience!

The Japanese-style room features traditional sliding doors and an altar, combined with modern comforts like air conditioning. The onsen experience is amazing, particularly the Men's Momoyama-buro, a grand indoor pool and sauna, offering a tranquil bath in fine surroundings.

The building is drafty and cold, especially during winter months was good, with temperatures still not exceeding 17C. Some floors lack hot water at taps for washing, requiring a hot water dispenser to mix with tap water. The ladies' toilet's location on the first floor can be inconvenient for those staying on the third floor.

Why didn't I try this sooner?

Absolutely loved my experience! The spacious traditional Japanese room was comfortable, and the staff were kind. I especially appreciated the punctual shuttle service to the nearby monkey park. With access to fine onsens and good dining, this charming stay exceeded my expectations. Truly a nice adventure in Japan!

Consider trying the private onsen for a uniquely serene experience away from the crowds.

convenient access to onsens and nearby attractions

I loved how helpful the staff were, providing us with tips on local restaurants and attractions, like the fantastic monkey park, just under 3 km away, making our city strolls more fun as we explored the beautiful nearby parks and temples.

The atmosphere was vibrant and cute, with amazing coffee and delicious meals. The free shuttle service to the snow monkey park was a big plus that exceeded my expectations during this trip.
