Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Shimobe Hotel offers good value for money as the stay includes both dinner and breakfast. There are many onsen pools available, including both indoor and outdoor options, and the hot spring experience is very enjoyable and relaxing. The common areas and corridors to the rooms are beautifully and tastefully renovated, giving a very nice first impression. However, the room interior is a bit old and could benefit from maintenance or renovation. One highlight of the stay was definitely the free-flow beer after the onsen, which we especially loved and found very enjoyable.

Positive: Beautiful relaxing spa-like experience. Staff and service were fantastic and kind/accommodating to our different requests. The Yakutas were clean and comfortable. The onsens and foot bath were wonderful especially the private onsen which was large and luxurious, well worth the booking fee. On-site massage therapist was a nice touch and several from our party took advantage of it. Drum show and mochi demonstration were entertaining. The special entree add-on’s for dinner were delicious (sukiyaki, beef rice bowl, sashimi) but suggest to reach out to guests beforehand to order for the first night. Since you have to order the day before we did not get to have these specials on our first night.

Negative: Buffet options were a bit lacking at dinner and breakfast, definitely more on the traditional side. Coffee in lobby not available until 3 pm. In-room DIY drip coffee was difficulty to figure out and was weak coffee. For mochi show, the hotel could consider offering a small sample of mochi at the end, as the show ended a little abruptly. Foot bath water temperature was extremely hot. Though the view and experience was wonderful, having the temperature just a couple degrees cooler would be more comfortable for most guests. More slipper sizes (smaller adults) would be helpful.

Summary: Beautiful relaxing property in mountain scenic setting.
