[2025 Yamanouchi Hotels] Travel Guide for Shibuonsen Taiyokan Yamatoya (Updated Jul)

#SummerWeekendTrip Shibu Onsen is said to have a Spirited Away-like inn. Traditional inns line the narrow stone-paved streets. The specialty here is the "Kyuto Meguri" outdoor bath tour, and if you stay at an affiliated inn, you can visit nine small hot springs. It is said that Shingen also stopped by, and there are foot baths in various places. There are now dormitory accommodations, so if you are a hot spring enthusiast, why not give it a try? (Check with your inn whether you can visit the nine baths.)

Nagano Shibu Onsen area, a quiet little settlement. Daiyokan is located right across the river from the onsen street, and you can enjoy the view of the river and the onsen street from your room. A small hotel, but the meals are not to be underestimated, especially the soy-braised carp, which is very impressive, and the whole stewed apple is also amazing. The beef is also very delicious 😋. A private room is provided for four people, making dining very comfortable, and breakfast is served in the same place. There is one indoor and one outdoor bath in the onsen. If you go a bit later, there won't be many people, making it very comfortable and relaxing. After soaking, there are massage chairs or foot massages available 👍. After soaking in the onsen, go back to your room and enjoy some Shinshu fruits for a good night's sleep. The bed is quite comfortable, and the young hostess is very enthusiastic. When we left the next day, she saw us off at the door until we drove away 👍.
