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 #### Dan Dec 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Soulful and relaxing The most wonderful place, beautiful location and kind service.

You can also use the hotel's private onsen which was AMAZING. The dinner and breakfast were very delicious! And they offer a shuttle to and from the snow monkey park nearby.

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.

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 > [Hotels in Canmore](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels.d10131.Travel-Guide-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 > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yow/halifax-to-ottawa) > > [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 in Surrey](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Surrey.d9759.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [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 Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Toronto.d178314.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Mestre](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Mestre.d4952.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Costa Rica Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Costa-Rica.d42.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Old Town San Sebastián](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Sebastian-Old-Town-San-Sebastian.dx6355806) > > [Visit Porto Cervo](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Cervo.dx6049076)
