My favourite Ryokan in Japan!

10.0

This experience was absolutely magical Torazo San and his wife were just wonderful. This truly is a must! The onsen on the property were in my opinion the best in the town. The breakfast that she cooked was absolutely mindblowing I will come stay here again. It is truly a quintessential Japanese experience.

Extraordinary hospitality, a beautiful ryokan, and an unforgettable Shibu Onsen experience.

10.0

Our stay here was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. The ryokan is beautiful, traditional, and full of character, but what truly made the experience special was the host. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us with genuine warmth and kindness and made us feel like honored guests rather than customers. We loved exploring Shibu Onsen in our yukata, visiting the different onsens, and returning to such a peaceful and comfortable ryokan. The traditional Japanese breakfast was outstanding and served with great attention to detail. Sleeping on tatami mats, soaking in the hot springs, and experiencing such authentic hospitality created memories our family will never forget.

Nothing. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Very beautiful Ryokan. We were received very nicely and had an amazing 3-night stay in the beautiful town of Shibu Onsen. The breakfast was delicious. Arigato Gozaimasu!

Lugar mágico en medio de los Alpes japoneses

Todo! Absolutamente todo!!! El lugar es precioso casi mágico!!

Cómo occidental diré que el tema de que no hay duchas privadas. Pero entiendo que es parte de ir a un Onsen. No me molesto en nada, lo asumí y usé la ducha del Onsen sin problemas!
