Shibu Onsen Ryokan

The Shibu Onsen village is located adjacent to the town of Yudanaka. This cute historic onsen village features traditional ryokans that line narrow cobblestone streets and laneways. Here you may see people clomping up and down the street dressed in yukata and wooden thongs on the way to and from the public onsens. It’s worth visiting Shibu Onsen just to wander the streets and take in the traditional Japanese architecture, have a foot bath or onsen, or visit one of the little temples. And staying in one of the Shibu Onsen ryokans is a truly traditional Japanese experience.

Shibu Onsen is very close to the Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park. Shiga Kogen Ski Resort is about 12km away from Shibu and there are also other ski resorts nearby. See our Shibu Onsen overview for more information. noindex, nofollow
