Hot Spring Hotels in Shibukawa

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.

The traditional Japanese hot spring hotel has a quiet environment and is a great choice for rest and relaxation. Dinner and breakfast are traditional Japanese kaiseki cuisine, with rich dishes, carefully prepared, colorful, fragrant and delicious, satisfying both the eyes and the stomach. From the time of our stay to our departure, the service staff was very considerate and caring, and we felt right at home!

The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the area is close to a hot spring shopping street. The public hot spring bath was also extremely clean and spacious. Free parking is available, which is great for travelers with cars!

Kinchoro is the more exclusive wing of Fuikuichi. The rooms come sight private onsen and it’s similar to most 10 tatami rooms. The service from the staff is good. They are almost invisible when you don’t need them but will magically appear when you need help, during meal times and check in/out time. The food unfortunately seem to be so so only. I didn’t find it spectacular, and in fact fringing on being a bit too inventive. Otherwise, all okay.

Location of the Ryokan is excellent and very convenient. Service is fantastic from valet parking, front desk to in room dining. However, the property is very old and the dated. As the walls are thin, noisy neighbours made it difficult to sleep.

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.

It should be regarded as the best hotel in Yixiangbao. It has a history of more than 400 years, but it does not feel old. Several soups are great. The service staff are professional and thoughtful. The small robot in the lobby is super cute. There is a small restaurant on the 19th floor to the entrance and exit of the stone steps, three private rooms, open at 8-11 every night, fried dumplings and ramen are delicious. The people in this place are friendly and hospitable. Udon noodles are local specialties, and each one is delicious; the ancestral stone pot curry rice of the Black Boat House is particularly delicious; Sara's Terrace Arraiya 's package is very homely; Lungo's own roasted coffee is the best to drink, with a bunch of rice cakes is too fragrant! The matcha shop next to the ladder is already very popular, but the clerk is so enthusiastic. When I fell down, I immediately took the first aid kit and ran out to deal with the wound. I was moved! The nearby original gallery is also worth a visit, in a pasture with lots of sheep.

Awesome hotel. Rooms are traditional Japanese with tatami. Very spacious. Hotel onsen was very nice and traditional. Not crowded and very cozy and relaxing environment. Staff are super friendly. Perfect getaway type hotel. It’s closer to the top of the steps so if you’re carrying lots of luggage best not to walk and reserve the shuttle for pickup.

The location is far from the hot spring stone street, the location is in the middle of the mountain, but the waiter is polite, I have come out to greet the parking at the door, Zhong take the room! Check out also has been waiting for me to go on the ground and return to the hotel because I bowed and first returned to the hotel 😅 I want to take a picture.

I arrived in front of the hotel around 3 PM, but there was no one there. I waited, wondering what to do, when a leisurely-looking man came over. He asked for my name and loudly confirmed it with another man. When I went into the front desk, it was packed with people, and I didn't know what to do, so I drank some tea and waited. Then someone who arrived later spoke to the front desk staff who were explaining things, asked for their name, and wrote it down on a piece of paper. If I had just waited silently, I would have been left alone the whole time. The room was spacious, and I could see the distant mountains, so I was able to relax in the room. The bath wasn't exactly clean, but it was okay. The open-air bath was outside, but I couldn't see the scenery or the sky at all, which I guess is unavoidable. I went for breakfast around 8:40 AM, but there was another huge line! By the time I ate, the miso soup had gotten completely cold, and the seat I was shown to was gone. It was a terrible experience. However, the food, especially the rice balls, was delicious. If you asked me if I would want to go again knowing all this, I would say yes. Thank you for your hospitality.
