Ichinoyu Katei

This accommodation is located right next to a famous architectural accommodation in Shibu Onsen, in front of the ninth bath of the Sotoyu Meguri. It is an ideal location for enjoying the Sotoyu Meguri. The hospitality from all staff, including the proprietress, is exceptional, making it a very pleasant place to stay. While the guest rooms are slightly dated, the meals are impeccable in both variety and taste, and of course, the onsen water soothes deep into your body to relieve daily fatigue. For us as a couple, this accommodation exceeded our expectations.

From Kusatsu Onsen to Nagano, visiting Zenkoji Temple, and then taking the Nagano Electric Railway to Yudanaka Shibu Onsen Town. We were greeted by the best snow of the year, making for a perfect moment. Inform the shuttle service of your arrival time at Nagano Station, and you'll be transported back in time to the old town. The efficient hostess provides a pleasant hospitality experience. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying, with unpretentious and appropriately portioned dishes. The sunken kotatsu was warm and clean. Although the snowy conditions limited our onsen visits to two, it was wonderful. May Shibu Onsen remain as it is forever.
