Our dining experiences were equally as pleasant with the staff greeting us and explaining the menus to us in detail. The area around the hotel was quiet and peaceful as well. On top of that all, the private bath offered was the last relaxing piece of the puzzle we needed.

Food service at both breakfast and dinner were always of very high quality. Lastly, onsen experience was also very relaxing. I recommend booking the private outdoor onsen. ##### Smittipon Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful, serene place to visit snow monkey park Very caring staff and thoughtful experience.

Comfortable rooms. The hot spring baths make this a must. Very close to snow monkey park and the best part - they will shuttle you from the train station, to the hotel, to the monkey park, to dinner and to the train station. Staff is very helpful. Awesome place. ##### Dennis Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Highlight of trip.

We booked a Japanese style room including dinner and breakfast, food was very tasty if you like traditional Japanese food. If you prefer other cuisines you might opt for booking a room that doesn’t have food included. Staff is very friendly! We booked private onsen and that was also very nice.

They were very friendly, and willing to speak English to explain and introduce new foods. No matter what time we stopped by front desk, they answered our questions with a smile. They cleaned mud off our shoes after our visit to snow monkey park. Their shuttle service to park and train station was super helpful. They even returned my mother’s forgotten hat to her on the rapid express train before we left town after check out. ![First course in kaiseki dinner set](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/76F95CFD452FCE1DDDDA48B9A3DE2972F828EECF1744273819977.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Front gardens of hotel](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/583337CB5953858FB0E89E257E999AEDC79B10A51744273830792.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lobby art in hotel](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/93C14A0AB44207C971F74FBB20B879EE32728EDD1744273824844.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D8278F0B345622C397051215F2C766213ACAA9831744273827482.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Irene Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Superb onsen experience.

The service level is beyond exceptional. They both fulfilled everything we wanted before we asked, but found ways to make our stay more pleasant than we had thought of. The kaiseki dinners and Japanese breakfasts were rich, varied and authentic. And again the staff that served us were exceptional. While we enjoyed the village onsens, the onsens at the Shibu Hotel were our favorites. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/02A0242B7C2BAC9BA3A28AB5DEB19A8F435058411697563205992.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yu Jing Dec 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Shibu Hotel is very beautiful. Our Deluxe Twin room looks like new. The room is much larger than advertised. We were lucky to book half board as the private dining room is beautiful and the staff is just so courteous. The meals are so beautifully decorated and delicious. The onsen is clean and very warm. We were picked up from the train station and were driven to the Snow Monkey Park. We love this place and will definitely come back. ##### Yu Jing Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hôtel WYLD Saint Germain](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Moderne-Saint-Germain.h470840.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Toronto North York Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Toronto-North-York-Hotel-Suites.h23336.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kapalua](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapalua-Hotels.d800064.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Andaz Mayakoba a Concep by Hyatt - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Andaz-Mayakoba-A-Concept-By-Hyatt-All-Inclusive.h27745651.Hotel-Information) > > [Enigma Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Hotels-Enigma-Suites.h17888365.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Nice City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Nice-City-Centre-Nice-Hotels.0-n6200418-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Quality Inn Shelburne - Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Burlington-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Shelburne-Burlington.h282.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Orillia Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orillia-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Orillia-Hotel.h916986.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Hampshire Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-Best-Western-Hampshire-Inn.h2475562.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Delta](https://www.expedia.ca/Delta-Flights.cDL.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Barcelona (BCN) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bcn/nce/barcelona-to-nice) > > [Flights from Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/msp/dfw/minneapolis-to-dallas) > > [Flights from Kamloops (YKA) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yka/yxx/kamloops-to-abbotsford) > > [flights from vancouver intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yvr/flights-from-vancouver-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yyz/delhi-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/31/flights-from-canada) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Arlanda (ARN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/arn/london-to-stockholm) > > [Flights from Charleston Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/chs/nyc/charleston-to-new-york) > > [Aeromexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Aeromexico-Flights.cAM.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Air India](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-India-Flights.cAI.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars > [Car rentals near World Cruise Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-World-Cruise-Center.d6144084.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Mestre](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Mestre.d4952.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### General > [Visit Porto Cervo](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Cervo.dx6049076)
