Hotels in Shibukawa

"Their consideration for the 2nd day stay meals were different and gave us delicious sets to eat. Right next to the magnificent view of the famous Ikaho onsen stone stairs with sweet filling desserts."

"Stayed for 2 nights in early Dec 2024. Booked the mountain view twin room with cypress bath which comes with both dinner and breakfast. The ryokan styled hotel is located diagonally opposite from the shibukawa bus stop and about 5 mins walk (turn right from the hotel) to the Ikaho stone steps around the mid section of the steps. The hotel is old ryokan style but well maintained and does not see much wear and tear. The lobby which is on the 3rd floor (ground level) is big. No shoes allowed in the hotel, guests have to deposit their shoes at the entrance. Staff were all friendly and polite though not all can speak well in English. They do go much more to make you feel at home. Yutaka is provided at the lobby. My room which is located on the 4th floor corner is considered big. Old styled ryokan kind of design but with western bed. Though the room is laid with tatami on the floor but can still hear people walking if they area heavy or run. Corridor noise does filter in as well but muffled. Unblocked view of the mountain as the hotel sits on an elevated hill. I would recommend to stay with mountain view. The cypress bath can fit 2 person but takes a while to fill, I rather go to the public onsen. Besides the usual amenities, they even provide face wash, face moisturiser, etc in the room. Safe box is provided in the room as well. Wifi seems weak. No place in the bathroom however to hang your clothes or towel. There is an indoor onsen on the first floor and an outdoor one on the 8th floor. The onsen are gender separated. They rotate the male and female onsen on the first floor though both has the same look and facilities. The onsen on the 8th floor has a nice view of the city but no shower facilities. There is a massage chair on the first floor as well. Breakfast and dinner are served on the 2nd floor. I would not say that this is the best, but definitely delicious and sufficient. Check in at 3 pm and check out at 10am which I find a bit too early. Hope they can consider to extend. Overall I would recommend this place to stay if you are coming to ikaho."

"Stayed there for 2 nights as a solo traveller. Most staff couldn't speak English but tried their best to communicate via translator apps and provided excellent service. Breakfast & dinner were served in the common rooms at Level 2, and the spread was different for each day. Food was pretty decent and very generous servings. Access to the public baths & rooftop onsens are limited by timings, staff will inform you at check in. Location is excellent, very near to the Ikaho bus stop that has the buses to Shibukawa JR station. Note it is on a very steep slope so you will have difficulties if travelling with heavy suitcases. Generally a very pleasant stay, and was very warmed by the heartfelt service."

"One of the nicest places I stayed. Each room is in the separate container. Inside, there is a toilet with a bathtub and a spacey room. There is a fridge and microwave oven. You can grab free coffee and tea, and some light meals, which, honestly, are not very great (the only drawback). It is less than 5 minutes away from the station (fast walk). And the service is great."

"Very clean and tidy. Room as pictured. Staff lovely... thank goodness for google translate. Private hot pools great...large. You had to get in quick as no booking - but good sysyem on co.outer to see when free. I American breakfast good (except tomato sauce ON tge omelette). Omelette was light and fluffy. Only about 10 minutes walk to the steps."

"Driving is more convenient, as there are many famous local delicacies nearby, but be aware of their opening hours. The Ikaho Onsen stone steps, with over a hundred steps, require courage and stamina to climb and return to the starting point. You'll understand what it means to go through hell and back again; once you complete it, you've unlocked a life achievement!"

"The service is very good, we booked a Japanese-style suite, the room is very beautiful, the scenery outside the window is very good, but the toilet is very smelly! ! ! ! It will stink to the room, this is very bad, the only big drawback! ! Breakfast is generally the same, dinner is OK, no work. The toilet in the room is really stinky, I won't go again next time 😭"

"Opposite the hotel, there are about 10 free parking spaces, suitable for self-driving people, the hotel's large bath is only for men; In addition, the lady stays, if you make an appointment to a private style, it will be good. Breakfast is in 8/F, so the view is very good."

"The hotel has a good location, very close to the bus station and Shiduan Street. The hot springs have gold and silver hot springs, as well as open-air hot springs. The food is also good, and the waiters are very responsible."

"It's a newly built hotel and is very clean. I was there for work so I wasn't able to fully enjoy the hotel. I thought the hot springs and sauna were great for relaxing."
