Shibu Onsen KOKUYA

Shibu Onsen KOKUYA

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment we arrived we were treater so well. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Staying at this Ryokan is all an amazing experience. The onsens were awesome and all the 8 onsens in the ryokan are private so you get to use them on your own. It is a great option for someone with tattoos. You also get access to the 9 onsens in the small town, but those you cannot use if you have tattoos. Close walk to the monkey park, but they also offer a free shuttle to the start of the path up to the park. Dinner and breakfast were a great experience as well."
