The parking lot is difficult to find, so it is best to check in advance. (It's along the river)The futon was fluffy. The indoor bath was also nice.

This inn is located at the far end of Shibu Onsen (as seen from Yudanaka Station). Opposite the 6th bath. There are many small privately run inns in this area, and the atmosphere of the spa is very nice. Perhaps because it was a private property, they left me alone and I was able to relax. The room is quite different from what I saw on the website, so I wonder if it has been renovated. It's a very beautiful and clean accommodation. There is a pond in the middle of the building and there are many carp. The futon had been laid out from the beginning, but it felt fluffy and clean. The food is mainly home-cooked by the proprietress, and there are many delicious dishes that are typical of the countryside of Shinshu. The bath is made of cypress, and the men's bath has two showers and the bathtub can accommodate four people. The women's bath seems to have one shower. The water is extremely hot. If you don't add water, you won't be able to soak it in. It was extremely hot everywhere in Shibu Onsen, and a local old man I went to the outdoor bath with said that he couldn't take a long bath because it was too hot, so he soaked for about a minute and then quickly left. I saw quite a lot of fireflies during the firefly festival.

I used it for two days and one night from June 23rd (Sunday) to June 24th (Monday), 2024.You can park your car in a remote location and walk from there.I was very grateful to have a Shibu Onsen hot spring tour ticket.My room was Ume on the second floor. It was good because it was close to the bathroom.There was a safe in the room.There was a narrow wide edge.The futon is fluffy and feels nice.There was a cup in the fridge and it was cold. Thank you.The toilet was clean.There were dozens of Nishikigoi swimming in the courtyard. In the men's bath, I was able to see the Nishikigoi while washing my body. Something strange.The bathtub was larger for boys and smaller for girls. There was a mural painted on the wall of the bathroom. It has a retro feel.We had our meals in the large hall, but there was no one else there, just us.Like the dinner, the breakfast was plentiful and very delicious. This volume was a great deal at this price. Moreover, I was able to enjoy the bath, which was very nice.

We made a reservation through Rakuten Travel and stayed with 4 people.It said "Parking available", but when I looked at the official website, there was no mention of the location of the parking lot, so I was a little confused. The roads around the inn are narrow and difficult to stop, so it would have been nice to have some guidance.I heard the story directly and was told the location.There is a parking lot on a slightly wider road along the river. (Shaped like an official roadside parking lot)

Located in the center of Shibu Onsen town, it is a convenient location for walking around.The parking lot is along the river (most inns are), so avoid driving to the front of the inn where the road is narrow.The courteous proprietress welcomes you, and the inside is neatly appointed. The indoor bath is small and has two washing areas, so it's probably a little wider than a home bath. It's quite hot, but it's okay because the water comes out quickly and fills it up.Although it was used on weekdays, there were several foreign families staying there.When you come here, it's a good idea to borrow the key to the public bath and step out into the quaint hot spring town.

It was a very quiet and comfortable stay.The rooms had their own toilets, and the rooms were clean and comfortable.I thought the location was great as there was hot spring number 6 right in front of the inn. It's a little uphill from where the hardware shop and No. 9 bath are, but there are outdoor baths and footbaths nearby.The rice was also very plentiful and delicious.

This time I stayed overnight without meals, and the host was very kind.The house is also perfect, the bath is also perfect.It was really great. I was able to freely use the key to the outdoor bath at any time, so I was able to go out without worrying. It was my first time at Shibu Onsen, but it was amazing. I would like to come back again.

The other day, I came here to stay the night after riding my road bike to the Shibutoge Hill Climb. Very satisfied with dinner and breakfast. The room was also clean and comfortable. I enjoyed both the outdoor and indoor baths and was able to relieve my fatigue. I would like to visit with my wife next time.
