However, if you’re booking on Expedia, there is no transparency in your ability to book dinner at the ryokan which is 65% of the reason why you’d need to stay at a ryokan. You will then go in a wild goose chase to find a seat at any restaurant nearby which will be nearly impossible until after dinner hours.

Hope to come back again here. ##### Hiromi Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henry Apr 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Authentic , great snow monkeys ##### Henry Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christy Feb 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay at this Ryokan with an amazing hot spring bath for guest use. It was a traditional Japanese inn with all of the special touches to experience the local Japanese customs. The room was very nice and comfortable, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. This was a great place to stay to visit the snow monkey park nearby and can be reached easily by train and then a short bus ride. We highly recommend this Ryokan for your stay. ##### Christy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### IIN Dec 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Onsen trip Very close to shibu onsen bus stop, very clean. The staff is all very nice. We were served by Suzuki-san, her English is very good, she explain all about the hotel and Shibu onsen nicely. Room is very spacious. It has indoor and outdoor onsen. Dinner and breakfast courses were fantastic and delicious. I will highly recommend to stay here when visiting Shibu Onsen ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/43C7FD7893ED38A95296FD792A545E0DDE16F3CF1703539216904.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/53BD1CDDCF52EB9B8657383AE9E03B206F7544D31703539210338.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FC6694D161C67F05B33ECF9BEEBD9FE923962F8F1703539197853.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EDB23317DBB797EC027242A3A34D584D616263FE1703539215659.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### IIN Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiffany Mar 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely ryokan, excellent baths Excellent ryokan, women's public bath was never more than 2 people but the private bath with sauna is worth booking..book ASAP as spots fill up. Meals are amazing, though the first night menu was preferred by far. The staff is very kind, but their support is limited so make sure to do your research if you're looking to visit snow monkeys or venture outside of the town. They aren't as up to date local bus schedules, etc. ##### Tiffany Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Priya Apr 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was our first time in a Ryokan! And we loved it!! We enjoyed wearing the Kimonos provided and having a multi course dinner! They were also able to provide vegetarian options for dinner as well. The onsen at the hotel was much larger and nicer than the free ones outside the hotel. There is a toilet in the room but no shower, so you have to use the public bath to shower. ##### Priya Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth Jan 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The area around the property was absolutely beautiful and charming - but maybe because of the time of year we visited (1/06-1/08), very few places were open, despite their signs claiming what their hours of operation were. Even when we found a restaurant that was open at 6pm for dinner, multiple restaurants turned us away because we have a six year old daughter and they didn't accept kids. It was pretty upsetting to my daughter, but the area was absolutely beautiful. ##### Kenneth Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick Oct 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Shibu Onsen Sakaeya is an unforgettable gem nestled in the heart of Japan's charming onsen town. From the moment I arrived, I was embraced by the warmth and hospitality of the staff, who made my stay exceptional. The ryokan's traditional atmosphere, with its beautifully preserved wooden interiors and serene ambiance, immediately put me at ease. However, what truly set Sakaeya apart was the personal touch of the staff, especially Runa, whose kindness and grace left a lasting impression on me. Her attentive service, warm smile, and genuine desire to make my stay comfortable made me feel like an honored guest. Whether it was offering local insights, ensuring I enjoyed the full onsen experience, or simply sharing kind words, Runa’s presence elevated my time there. She embodied the spirit of Japanese hospitality, making each interaction a memorable one. The onsen itself was a peaceful retreat, with soothing waters and a relaxing environment that perfectly complemented the traditional ryokan experience. I left Shibu Onsen Sakaeya not only refreshed but deeply moved by the kindness of its people, particularly Runa. If you're seeking a place that marries beauty, tranquility, and heartfelt service, Sakaeya is the perfect destination. ##### Patrick Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Casey Oct 31, 2025 Watch how you book via Expedia. There is a basic rate - then everything you do adds more to the basic rate. It was clean. The hotel restaurant was fully booked every night! Before we even arrived we couldn’t obtain a reservation. ##### Casey Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### トモコ May 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 料理が最高です。 二度目ですがまた予約しました。 ##### トモコ Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kazuko Mar 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities スタッフの方に良くして頂き快適でした ご飯も美味しく部屋もきれいでした 湯めぐりはとても楽しく気持ちよかったです ##### Kazuko Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### YUKA Oct 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 食事もお部屋も大満足でした！ ##### YUKA Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### roxane Apr 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Meilleur hôtel! ##### roxane Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hidenori Aug 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 全てが素晴らしい。ゆっくり出来ました。 ##### Hidenori Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 素晴らしい滞在でした 素晴らしい旅館でした。 家族で宿泊しましたが、 温泉も気持ち良く、お料理も大変美味しく、なによりスタッフの方々のお心遣いに おかげさまでとても心地よく過ごすことが出来ました。 また、渋温泉に伺う際には利用させていただきたく思っています。 ありがとうございました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Service here was amazing. Staff came to greet us at the car and made us feel special throughout our stay. We paid for a room with our own private onsen as we have tattoos and have not managed to visit an onsen after 4 trips to japan. It was well worth the money. Several staff members spoke to us in English. Food was spectacular. We have stayed in dozens of hotels around the world, and this was definitely our favourite of them all. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Turtle Bay Marina Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Country-Hotels-Turtle-Bay-Marina-Resort.h11819344.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Regina](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Regina.h13117972.Hotel-Information) > > [ATN Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-ATN-Hotel.h973411.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Claymore-Inn-Suites.h15834381.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Grosvenor Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Grosvenor-Airport-Hotel.h7635.Hotel-Information) > > [Duvernay Studios and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Duvernay-Studios-And-Suites.h9432048.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fort Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Erie-Hotels.d8119.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel San Giovanni Roma](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-San-Giovanni-Roma.h30393800.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Tennis Courts in Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Ontario-Hotels-With-Tennis-Courts.0-0-d11178-tHotelswithTennisCourts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to TYO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tyo/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ist/toronto-to-istanbul) > > [Singapore Airlines Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/singapore-airlines-from-vancouver-intl-to-indira-gandhi-intl/sq/yvr/del) > > [Flights from Newark (EWR) to Ahmedabad (AMD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ewr/amd/newark-liberty-intl-airport-to-ahmedabad) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Wichita (ICT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ict/toronto-to-wichita) > > [Flights from Las Vegas (LAS) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/las/yul/las-vegas-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/fll/montreal-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyz/edmonton-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Windsor (YQG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/yqg/moncton-to-windsor) > > [Austrian Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Austrian-Airlines-Flights.cOS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Barcelona (BCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/bcn/montreal-to-barcelona) > > [Flights from Accra (ACC) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/acc/ywg/accra-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/cun/seattle-to-cancun) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Deal](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Deal.d182506.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Petra](https://www.expedia.ca/Petra-Jordan.d180620.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Dashwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Dashwood.dx553248635975848982) > > [Visit Florida Panhandle](https://www.expedia.ca/Florida-Panhandle.dx6048212)
