Fantastic ryokan
What a fantastic ryokan. The hotel met us at the train station, then showed us the 3 onsen at the hotel and then took us up to a huge bedroom. There were 3 Japanese beds made up for us plus a little sitting room. A separate toilet and shower. There was a safe, lots of electrical outlets, a fridge, cold water carafe, yukata, and overcoat to wear in the hotel and outside. Everything was clean and so lovely. We had a wonderful view of the mountains and river. They also took us up the snow monkey park entrance (and will pick you up, too -although we walked back down). Very attentive staff. Always trying to help you. There are a couple of people there who speak English. We did have the Japanese dinner there one night. There must have been 12-15 courses (I stopped counting after a while). Delicious but be aware that a lot of it is fish in case you don’t like fish. There was beef as well. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. We had room 504 with a great view of the river and mountains.

Shibu is an older hotel but don't let that sway you. We stayed in a Ryokan in Kyoto, two adults and our teenaged daughter and this one was much bigger in comparison with a separate large shower/bathroom and sitting area. Extremely quiet for sleeping with views of the river and mountains. The hotel staff didn't miss a thing, were extremely accommodating and polite offering free shuttles to the monkey park and train station. We came back from the monkey park with muddy shoes which our driver must have noticed as when we went out later that evening they had been cleaned off and looked brand new! Also our daughter left her little bag behind and Shibu staff contacted us immediately to advise and arrange for shipment back to us in Canada. We wanted to stay longer and enjoy the wonderful onsens both in the hotel (one of the few outdoor onsens we discovered) and in the neighbourhood.

The manager/owner is extremely helpful and professional in providing his service which made our 1 day trip a pleasant memory. The hotel is well maintained and very clean, the staff are very professional as well by the Japanese standard. One thing worth mentioning is that they even cleaned our dirty shoes (due to the melting snow and mud from the nearby Snowmonkey park) overnight and placed them in front of the front desk tatami area when we head out. Shibu hotel has the attention to detail in a friendly way that makes you feel like the guest of honor.
