Nydelig hotell med godt vertskap! God mat og flott med tilbud om lokal transport i området rundt (eks til monkey park og togstasjonen). Utrolig fornøyd med mitt opphold her! Anbefales på det sterkeste! Det ligger midt i sentrum av Shibu onsen, perfekt dersom man ønsker å bruke de varme kildene (onsen) i området!

What a gem! Shibu Onsen Ichinoyu Katei is an experience in itself. A short ride from Yudanaka train station, this tradițional ryokhan is excellent. As soon as you arrive you will be greated by the hotel manager (okamisan) who is attentive and will answer any questions. Dinner and breakfast were included in the price and the food was amazing. Traditional food was prepared with attention to the details and served by lovely staff. Be punctual. Dinner at 630 and breakfast at 730. There are nine public onsen which can be accessed by a key you will receive at the hotel and the hotel has its own onsen, one inside and one outside with a view of the montainous horizon. Room is trafitional japanese. Confortable sleep. The snowmonkey park is not far and you can get a lift from the hotel and will be dropped off nearby the park. You will the walk about 15 min to the entrance, hiking through the gorgeous forest with extremely tall trees and hot springs. The snowmonkeys are adorable. Amazing memories.

We stayed at Ichinoyu Katei for one night and had an excellent experience. Futons were very comfortable, the breakfast in the morning was in the traditional Japanese style. There are two areas on the upper floor (gender-separated) with two hot baths, one indoors and one outdoors in each area. We were given the key to visit the town's public baths. The staff were very friendly and took care of us. They do speak sufficient English. Would definitely stay again.

This is our first trip to see the snow monkey park at Yudanaka-Nagano, along the way we decided to include an onsen stay . This hotel at Shibu Onsen Inchinoyu Katei offers free roundabout shuttle from/to Yudanaka station and hotel. However, you will need to make call arrangement with the help from the native jap staff from tourist information counter located at Yudanaka station. Do make use of google translate to help you in the process as the native jap has minimum understanding of english. You can also pay a visit to the snow monkey park using the bus service (for snow monkey 2 days pass) and it is a short bus journey. For convenience of travelling light, it is recommended that you temporarily deposit your bags at station and it is 500 yen for baggage deposit. Note that you will need to walk up the trekking pathway to snow monkey park and it will be 40 mins on foot from where the bus alights you at the bus stop. The overall experience for the hotel onsen is an eye opener as you get to experience local traditional jap food and culture. The food is more to a healthier diet and taste. Service is excellent from a warm welcome by front desk to the servers at their kitchen. They provide extra mile service and care to the customers. Do enquire with them on the do's and don't 's for first timer use of onsen. Do not overly soak yourself in the hot waters as your body might not be able to take it.

Loved the staff and room. The showers are with the Onsen so it’s a little strange as a American used to so much privacy but luckily there was only one time there was another women out of the three nights we stayed. Food is all Japan style but amazing. Loved our stay

This hotel was AMAZING!!! The whole area was great, we did the whole 9 Onsen thing, had the Kaiseki dinner and breakfast the next morning (there was coffee!!!) and then went to see the snow monkeys (which were probably my favorite part of the entire trip). The staff was absolutely perfect, extremely helpful and did even more than we could ask for. It took a bit of effort to get up here (check out the shibu onsen website for train dets) but was completely worth it. We would definitely stay here again. Also, when you get to the train station in Shibu, go to the information kiosk and tell them you'd like them to call Ichinoyu to come pick you up - apparently this is totally normal. They came about 5 minutes later to drive us to the hotel. And then the next morning they drove us up to the snow monkeys. All free. Absolutely stay here, it will totally make your trip!!!

Everything you could possibly want from a traditional Japanese inn. Everything was second to none. A real cultural experience. Can’t really put into words how special this place is

This was a lovely family owned ryokan that is very convenient & cozy for seeing the snow monkeys and having an onsen experience. The staff bent over backwards to help and spoke a little English. I would recommend getting meals included as the food was very good, had a lot of variety and was high quality keiseki cuisine. The rooms had Japanese kotatsu or heating tables in them and were warm and quiet. There is no shower in them, only toilet and sink. You have to use the public shared female or male bath with onsen in the hotel, or use one of the public onsens on the street. This hotel is very conveniently located on the famous onsen street and you get a master key to experience all the onsens located on this street each purported to have different healing properties. This is a lovely experience not to be missed!
