Positive: Great location, great staff. They shuttle you to/from the train station and the snow monkeys. Tip: go see the snow monkeys as early as possible to avoid larger crowds.

Positive: This place operates at very high standards. A van provides pickup from the train station and daily trips to visit the monkey park. The private outdoor Onsen can be reserved daily and it is magical. The food is thoughtfully prepared and served. The room is very spacious with a nice area to sit and look out the window. The owners knew it was our honeymoon and gave us a gift before departure.
Summary: You are in good hands

Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It may sound weird but i really liked it that a lot of the items and decor were older but very well maintained. They seem to really respect the items they use and not replace everything unnecessarily every 2-3 years, which gave the hotel a really nice lived-in ambiance. The staff were very attentive and polite. The price includes a multicourse fine dining style dinner in a private room, and the hotel has their own shuttle bus that they will use to drive you to the monkey park and back or the station and back. You can also use private hotel outdoor onsen which is very nice in the winter (you sit in a very hot tub with snow all around you).
Summary: Great ryokan style hotel. Highly recommended.

Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location was excellent, right in the heart of the charming resort town of Shibu Onsen. The staff were outstanding, and we really appreciated the pickup from the train station as well as the shuttle to the monkey park. Everyone was very kind and attentive to our needs. The hotel’s onsen was also very enjoyable.
Negative: We stayed just after New Year, so the room rate was quite high, but we understand that the whole town was sold out and demand was exceptionally high. The town shuts down very early at night so it was a challenge to get dinner after 8pm and there was no dinner at the hotel.
Summary: Great stay at a warm family owned resort hotel

Summary: Excellent stay
