Positive: Shibu Hotel is an absolute gem! The beauty of the property is matched only by the incredible hospitality and service. From the moment we arrived, the thoughtful touches impressed us – our names were on shoe cubbies and our room door. When we went down for the multi-course traditional dinner, we were met with a warm welcome by a line of staff who even placed name tags on our shoes. This dinner was a culinary masterpiece, truly one of the most incredible dining experiences of my life. The ryokan was impeccably clean, and our room was spacious and spotless. The food, especially the unforgettable dinner and breakfast, is an absolute must-try. A delightful surprise was the availability of generously sized yukatas that comfortably fit both my husband and me (both over 280 lbs). The hotel’s hot spring was pristine and beautiful, offering a tranquil retreat and a lovely outdoor hot spring. They also offered a private hot spring for families/groups for an additional charge. The level of service was truly exceptional. They took care of our car, and upon check-out, it was brought to the entrance, backed in for easy loading. As a final touch, they even wiped our car windows before our departure. Without a doubt, this has been one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had, and I've traveled to over 20 countries. I wholeheartedly recommend Shibu Ryokan!l
Summary: Breathtaking facility and otherworldly hospitality

Positive: Even though the lobby is a little dated, our stay was awesome. Room nice and comfy. Breakfast was fantastic. Shuttle from train station and also shuttle to Snow Monkey Park and back was a great bonus. The owners are really nice. All the staff went out of their way to treat the best. Really enjoyed our time there. Comp drinks in lobby and in the room were great. We would stay here again and every time we are in this lovely little town.
Negative: The shoe thing in the lobby was over cumbersome. Took a couple times doing it to get it together.

Positive: The room is spacious and the onsens in the hotel are great. I really recommend trying the outdoor private onsen, that was our favourite. The food was very high quality and the staff was very polite and helpful. Very close to the public onsens of the village. They also offer free shuttles to the station and the monkey park if needed, that is explained in advance. They also had English speaking staff members (not so important to us as we speak Japanese) overall great service and very good hotel.
Negative: Not that we didn't like it, it was just unusual that they asked for our car key to park the car for us (it's similar to parallel parking which is not a thing in Japan, so I'm sure this is great help for many guests). We haven't experienced this kind of service in Japan so we were a little confused about it.
Summary: Great service and onsen
