My stay at this ryokan in Shibu Onsen was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was impeccable. The ryokan features private onsen that can be booked in advance, offering an intimate and serene experience. Soaking in the warm, mineral-rich waters while gazing at the surrounding natural beauty was a highlight of the trip. The ryokan’s free shuttle service made exploring the area incredibly convenient. We were easily transported to the iconic Snow Monkey Park, the nearby train station, and other local attractions, which added to the seamless experience. The dining experience was nothing short of spectacular. Both private breakfast and dinner were served in a tranquil setting, with beautifully prepared dishes showcasing the best of seasonal and local ingredients. The flavors were authentic and delicious,

We were pampered by this hotel the moment we checked in! Glad to have stayed in Sakaeya and the inhouse Onsen is superb!

We were there in February, it was minus outside, but the room had a heater and air conditioning. Not frozen. The hotels have three onsens, one shared for men, one for women and one private. They also give you the key to 9 public onsens in the village. The hostess can pick you up or take you to the nearest station, she also took us to dinner and to Monkey Park. Breakfast is traditional. And in general, the hotel is traditional Japanese, I advise anyone who is interested in staying in a traditional hotel. But keep in mind that you need to sleep on the tatama and wear slippers, they are not allowed in the shower, and you also need to wash in the onsen.

I saw many Japanese elderly couples, girlfriends, and many students coming here to play. The hotel is very old, the air conditioner squeaks, there are some mosquitoes, and the refrigerator is sometimes good and sometimes bad. It was normal on the first day, but on the second day, all the fruits we bought were frozen into hard ice. But the hygiene is OK. You can see that they are trying their best to maintain it. In addition to the public hot springs, there are two private hot springs, Xing and Yue, which can be reserved by guests. There is free oden in the rest area every afternoon, which is very heartwarming. The breakfast is also good and very rich. In addition, Nagano and Shijiazhuang are friendly cities. Table tennis is very popular here, and there are table tennis balls in the lounge. The hotel is very close to Yudanaka Station, a two-minute walk, and is generally recommended.

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)

It's close to Yudanaka Station. If you go about 200 meters from the hotel, there is a bus stop on the Yudanaka side. Easy transportation to Shigagogen Ski Resort and Snow Monkey There is a convenience store near 100 meters, and there are not many doors in the surrounding shops, so there is nothing to see But there's plenty of hot springs in the hotel, and there's an amusement room. There's a massage machine, so you can have fun inside. The food is buffet, but I'm so delicious at dinner. I can't forget that you can eat beer and sake in unlimited wine for dinner !! 👍 Most of them are family-oriented and friends, so there are many elderly people. Ski resort and hot springs together Recommended here to enjoy !!! The staff were friendly and nice 👍

Easy to go to Giant Ski Area because there is a slope to ski area directly. But I don't recommend for beginner to go ski area from this slope. And you can't go back to the hotel from this way, you have to go back by gondola to Yamanoeki and walk 300m. Too far if you walk with skies or snowboard. Yukata is not free of charge, you have to pay 300 yens for rent. There is a shower room in your room but you can't use it because there is ONLY cold water(hot water doesn't work). Some breakfast menu is not enough for customers. But dinner is ok.

Trip.com There are too few reviews of this hotel, let me introduce it in detail Skiing: The hotel is at the foot of the Xiongzhitang ski resort. It takes 5 minutes to walk. You can go directly to the door when you slide back. There is a bus at the entrance of the hotel. Take 2 stops to Hengshou Mountain (walk for 10 minutes), and take 25 minutes to the mountain station. It is one of the two ski resorts in the Hengshou Mountain area. If you come to Shiga Plateau for the first time, you may go to the Oshiga area a little farther. If you are an old hand, you want to experience the beauty of the snow-capped mountains of Hengshou Mountain. You can rest assured to stay. Xiongzhitang also has a night scene, which can increase some happiness at night. Dining: The order contains breakfast and dinner set, breakfast buffet, you can eat very full, there are coffee, apple juice, milk, there are also various salads, ham, bread, natto, dinner is a set meal, every night is different, meat is not much, but enough to eat, if not enough, you can add money to upgrade the package or a la carte, Most of the seafood for dinner, there is at least one hot pot every day, dinner starts at 6 o'clock, and you can seamlessly connect to the night skiing of Xiongzhitang. Facilities: fixed and Western (two single beds), the bed is very soft, but not too big, if you can accept tatami, you can also try, but every day skiing back, but also squat in place, it is really tiring and tatami will be harder, there is no refrigerator in the house, you can put drinks in the mezzanine window, There is a small TV, but it has never been opened. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry. The bathroom area is relatively large. There is a storage area in the house. You can put snowpacks and other items. The charging plug is also very complete. Because this is a gas stove, all kinds of electrical appliances are recommended to go to the hot spring to avoid tripping. The bed is very soft, the thickness of the sheets can be adjusted by yourself, and the comfort is no problem. Hot springs: the most famous green hot springs nearby, full of sulfur smell (other hotels are hot spring water from the outside of the mountain, only this one is directly covered on the hot spring eyes, very good) The bathing location of the hot spring is slightly cold, but the indoor hot spring is very hot. Men and women have outdoor baths. They will exchange positions at noon every day. The open-air wind can watch the snow in the sky to enjoy the natural happiness, or the snow can be used in the hot springs, on the side of the ice, the hot spring water has a great sulfur taste, very natural, with a good skin effect Service: Most of the waiters in the hotel are Japanese. English is really not good (the elderly English is actually better than the young people). They have their own set of rules. For example, breakfast drinks cannot be taken away. There are two Taiwanese waiters who are very enthusiastic and will be very active to help you plan your time. Very friendly. There is a supermarket on the first floor of the hotel (not much to sell, not as complete as the supplies at the mountain station), a vending machine on the third floor (not too much drinks to sell), an automatic massage chair on the first floor (very popular), and a billiard table (but it seems that the ball is not enough), there is a mini museum, The hotel's other amusement facilities are really not enough, you may wish to experience the joy of skiing and hot springs. Others: There are temporary storage for men and women on the basement floor (you can save the bag for another day after check out, and then come back to soak in the hot springs and return. The front desk brother will remind you to keep the bath towels, and wait for the hot springs to return together, very intimate), there is a stove to roast ski equipment, There is a drop of help, each room has its own storage cabinet to place snowboards, the space is not large, but enough to put two snowboards
