We stayed in the room with private onsen and it was amazing. My husband and I are both vegetarians and the hotel was very accommodating in preparing delicious, fresh and plenty of plant based Japanese dishes for us. We were very satisfied with the whole experience and all the meals. A special mention is definitely required for Ms. Kaneko and her correspondence with us in English. She was very welcoming and gave us great suggestions for travelling around.

I loved this ryokan. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Luggage storage was free. They also offered rides to and from the train station and to the snow monkey park. They have their own public onsen (open-air and covered) and private onsen. You will also get the master key to the nine onsens in town. The traditional Japanese breakfast was delicious as well.

Personalised welcome sign outside was really sweet. The couple that runs the hotel are both lovely and went out of their way to provide a great experience. I missed out on dinner but the breakfast was a fantastic traditional Japanese affair. Upon leaving, I was given recommendations on where to stay next, a snack for the journey and a lift to the train station.

Great options for breakfast, there's enough to cater for gluten free diets, fresh eggs and local sales on offer as well as cereal and bread. Friendly staff who were very helpful, allowed us to keep our bags after check out to enjoy an extra half day on the slopes. Yamanouchi site about an hour away from the Shiga Kogen ski resort with easy access via a bus.

Perfect ski in ski out location (with international ski school 5 min walk) Good ski area Possibility to go to swimming pool in the hotel close by kids liked the play room Good variety of restaurants (French, Japanese, Teppanyaki, Raclette)

The property is right in the heart of Shibu Onsen and even has its own onsen pool in the basement. The staff, while not fluent in English, were very accommodating and used a translator to provide the best experience they could.

Staff were very accommodating & exceptionally helpful. Good views and right on the river unlike our previous hotel which was a couple of streets back. Room was nice and a good size.
