100 years old part of hotel is very characterful. The additions have made it quite a maze and it was fun finding the different 5 hot baths The outside rock garden hot spring nestled in the forest was the highlight and very enjoyable listening to the birds and watching the red leaves fall in the light breeze. I went to these baths in the evening and morning they were so relaxing. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Favourite hostel I've stayed in a month of travelling japan. Absolutely beautiful location, near the dam so I was able to catch the sunrise easily and some cool night shots (check out the stars at night). Not far from the main street and some good onsens e.g. Sekizenkan Kashoutei which inspired Spirited Away, about 20-30mins walk to nearest ATM at a post office though so make sure you have enough cash. Quiet when I was there, only one other person in my dorm. I liked that in the 'dorm' you basically got a mini room instead of a capsule, seperated by a curtain and wall with no ceiling. Plenty of space. But the privacy was nice, bed was comfy, lockers provided. Kitchen was good and there were vending machines on site, could also buy snacks and souvenirs from reception which helped as nearby shops and restaurants have changeable hours. Staff were super friendly with pretty good English although sometimes hard to find. Onsen was beautiful and often had it all to myself, outdoors onsen under maple leaves was super nice. Could hire private sauna at the top too which was cool, has a cold bath as well and toilet/shower. Wish I could have stayed longer!

We enjoyed a relaxing night at ShimaBlue. We are a family of four with two teenage children and whilst it was tight, we enjoyed some relaxing time in nature. The ONSEN on the deck was the highlight. There is not much to do In the small town so this is a great place if you need a rest! The BBQ dinner was amazing (note you do cook for yourself).

What an amazing stay in such a historic ryokan. It is the oldest ryokan in Japan, so, as you can expect, there will be some signs of age in the common areas/hallways. However, our rooms were modern and the hospitality and meals were absolutely 5*!! Loved it.

It was so beautiful! It is a bit remote, but thats exactly what we liked about it! It lies in a nice valley, that in december was a bit snowy. Ofcourse, the very traditional building was so sophisticated and beautiful, but even though it felt such high end (and it is!), we felt comfortable there. It was easy to relax, the Onsen are amazing and beautiful. Very kind staff as well, they spoke english. The food was exceptional as well. One of us was vegetarian, we let them know beforehand and it was no problem. Would recommend at least 2 night stays. The price for the value you get is exceptional.

This place was incredible. 1000 years old and very good value for money. I did get scared about bears when I went for a smoke late at night, then the anxiety carried over into my bedroom where I was having nightmares about Oni and other japanese themed ghosts haunting my room. The staff were incredible, but I was extremely disappointed that there was neither an iron available (possibly due to the tatami floors) and there was no ironing service available from the staff. I would be happy to pay, but ironed clothes are very important to me and I would assume many guests feel the same. I will give the bed a bad rating because after a life of pocketed springs I cannot sleep on the floor. I find futons to be completely unbearable.
