I only stayed one night in this beautiful ryokan and in Yamanouchi but I could easily have stayed longer, as there seems to have trekking opportunities in the area. The ryokan itself is great on all levels: clean, quiet at night and has an authentic feel. The staff is very helpful and speaks fluent English. When you arrive, it will provide you with traditional Japanese clothing in which you'll wander by the streets, go to restaurants and most importantly, explore the 9 public and free onsen in the village. I slept in a 3 bed dormitory and hadn't slept so well for several days. A free shuttle service will bring you to the next bus station (perhaps train station as well)
Response from Property: Thank you very much for staying at Koishiya Ryokan and sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our authentic atmosphere, helpful staff, and traditional Japanese experience. It's great that you had a restful night and took advantage of our free shuttle service. We look forward to welcoming you again at our Ryokan!

Located in the center of Shibu Onsen Street, it is within a 10-minute walk to all nine major hot springs. There are relatively many dining options around the hotel, and the hotel's own restaurant has very good food.
It is only less than 6 kilometers from the hotel to the Wild Monkey Park, and you can enjoy the pleasant countryside scenery along the way.

For better or worse, I got the impression that it was an old inn.
However, the staff were polite.
The rooms are equipped with air conditioning and air purifiers, but no TVs, so if you're traveling with friends, you might want to bring some entertainment items with you. There are no convenience stores or supermarkets nearby, so it's difficult to get anything locally...However, the inn does have some playing cards and party goods. One of each.

It's a nice inn in a nice hot spring town. Maachito Onsen ♨️♨️ is quite hot, so I will prepare myself next time.

Excellent Ryokan style stay in Shibu-onsen. Budget friendly as not paying for lavish dinners. Key provided free for guests to visit 9 public onsen. Free shuttle to Snow monkey park and train station. Friendly staff, if Gluten Free ask for boiled egg and salad for breakfast.

Well maintain Ryokan. Very clean and cozy. Large rooms with super comfortable beds (western). The restaurant is wonderful with innovative and fusion menu. The breakfast is really good with the best coffee. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Excellent value!

Check in process its smooth. Room - Japanese tatami room is spacious. You will make your own tatami bed. Its a good experience to understand japanese culture. But we are not sure how or if any proper way so we simply do our own way 😅. Restaurant - served western food. We take out the bagel 🥯as breakfast before heading to Snow Monkey Park. My kids say its yummy. Bathroom - shared bathroom on ground floor. Its clean and neat. Parking - walking distance to the ryokan (maybe less than 5 min). However, you can stop in front of the ryokan to drop off your luggage before park your car.

This inn was renovated from a former inn that was built in the early Showa period and closed down. The facilities are beautiful, but the old-fashioned Japanese-style rooms creak when you go up the stairs. There is a cafe on the first floor, but the basic rule is to stay overnight without meals and eat outside. Guests are responsible for laying out their own futons. There is no bathtub in the building, so guests must borrow the shower on the first floor (the facilities are beautiful), but the inn comes with a pass that allows visitors to use the nine outdoor baths. It is customary to wake up early in the morning and take a walk around Shibu Onsen before taking a morning bath. The outdoor baths are quite hot, so it is a good idea to ask locals about lukewarm baths.
