to get started.

Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They even offered us a ride to the monkey park (3 minute drive) and to Yudanaka station the day we departed (8 minute drive). The room was very large, traditional ryokan style. The onsen was lovely. It was a short walk to some very delicious restaurants, but the hosts do provide meals if you choose to pay for them.

Martha, United States of America

Loved everything about our stay here! The owners of the ryokan were extremely welcoming. The onsen was in great conditions and everything was very clean. The food that we had at the inn was already delicious and a good price. They gladly gave us a ride to the inn when we arrived as well as to the snow monkey park. Which was at a very closed distance to the Ryokan.

Kyle, United States of America

The couple who run the place are adorable! They are very accommodating and try to make your stay the best ever. We stayed for 2 nights and had 2 breakfasts and 1 dinner, which were all delicious. The hosts were considerate of me not eating meat. They showed us which other places we can dine at and picked us up from/to train station and took us to Monkey Park (which by the way was a total highlight - we didn’t agree with Lonely Planet comments one bit). The onsen was great, but best was to use it early or late hours when it is closed to public to get some personal time.

Anna, Canada

Everything!!! Our hosts were very welcoming, kind, and accomodating. Their place is our favorite in all we’ve stayed at all over Japan. Their food is also amazingly delicious. They also have a private onsen outdoors that is spacious and just perfect to use to start and end your day. Thank you Miyamas!

Olivia, United States of America

The owners were very nice. She had a card with english on it she used to communicate with. He gave us a ride up to the monkey park and also from and to yudanaka station. The hot spring area was very nice and the view from the room was also really great!

Emily, United States of America

Great staff, they drove us to the Monkey park and also drove us to the train station after the check out.

Soufiane, United States of America

We had an excellent stay at Minshuku Miyama. The rooms are very spacious and the futons are super comfy. The onsen was fabulous and while there is no private spa, I was able to get it all to myself one morning. The ryokan is conveniently located walking distance to town and Jigokudani. The owners were so lovely. They picked us up from the train station and drove us to the entrance at Jigokudani free of charge. I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking in for dinner one night during your stay. It was a fabulous meal with tons of different dishes and was super cheap. Overall we had a great time at a very reasonable price.

Ashley, Australia

The service and friendless of the host was just great. Room was clean and the onsen excellent. Great location, walking distance to restaurants and the Monkey Park. Loved it!

That we couldn't use the 9 public Onsen in Shibu Onsen. We have read online that you can use them when you stay in ryokan in Shibu Onsen. We didn't read anything about it in the summery of the hotel or the reviews (so maybe we could have known), but this was a little disappointment for us and want to let the next visitors know via this review. You can use the nice onsen in the Ryokan and number 9 in the centre of Shibu. (a 10 minutes walk)
The lovely owners and the distance to the Monkey park. Very close by, you can walk but the owner will bring you. He also picked us up and dropped us at the station (for free). The dinner was really fantastic! The breakfast too, but realize it's a real Japanese breakfast ;)

It is a little walk from Shiba Onsen, but not too far. We didn't realise that Wednesday is early closing/holiday for many of the restaurants in the town, so had problems finding anywhere to eat/drink. If you can plan your visit to avoid Wednesday, I'd do that.
The breakfasts and evening meals were absolutely excellent, not to mention huge! The hosts were amazingly friendly and helpful, despite not speaking English. The hot spring is also very nice and relaxing.

Besides Monkey Park and walking around the Shiba Onsen, there wasn’t much to do in May. Perhaps there could be hiking trails provided for further options.

Rooms were a bit hot, but that’s all, nothing really bad to say.
A highlight of our trip. The owners are outstandingly friendly and helpful. We took a taxi to Minshuku Miyama after visiting the snow monkeys by bus, but the owners said they would have picked us up if we asked. The hotel is only 5 minutes from where the bus drops you for the snow monkeys so if we planned better we could have just walked from there. The owners do not speak English but are well prepared to communicate to non-Japanese guests, with a Flipboard of instructions. First we were offered slippers and then shown the dining room and Onsen, then led to our room where our luggage was already waiting for us. The room was very large and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the mountains. Once settled we changed into our yukatas and headed down to the Onsen. In separate male and female areas we showered then relaxed in the Onsen, it’s very hot, ten minutes is enough. After this we relaxed a little before heading down for dinner. Dinner is 1620 JPY per person and should be ordered the day before. We forgot but it was no problem to order that morning. The dinner is amazing, great value - 8 different courses with rice and green tea. Breakfast was also excellent, more than we could eat. Ham, omelette, mackerel, miso soup and more... The owners dropped us back at the station in plenty of time for or train. Outstanding ryokan and a great experience. Wish we had longer here.

Clean and comfortable rooms with an easy 10min walk to Shibu Onsen. We had the most wonderful time at this place, highly recommend the food and if you can’t stay you should definitely come and use the Onsen!

Miyama and Aeka were the perfect hosts, so hospitable and friendly. The food they prepared was so delicious. Was so interesting having traditional Japanese 💜 I would highly recommend staying with them. The onsen on site was awesone. It had close access to the snow monkeys which was perfect. The Farmhouse nearby was amazing food as was the little cafe Enza just outside the monkey park, we had a fabulous 3 days there 😊

I am not used to traditional Japanese inns so the futon was pretty firm and so were the pillows. I missed sitting in a chair but it is really all good and a great experience.
A great onsen and traditional inn experience. We had dinner the first night and it was excellent. The Miyamas were so gracious. They transported us to and from the train station and to the monkey park.
