This place was amazing! Never have I stayed with a more friendly staff. They were very helpful with everything.
The tradition Japanese experience was perfect from the public hot baths to the great food served at dinner and breakfast!

A lovely traditional Ryokan. The staff were lovely and welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. They offer free collection and delivery to the train station and drop off to the snow monkey resort. The food is beautifully presented and very traditional. They also have a lovely onsen to enjoy.
4.8
A really special place. Amazing room, onsen and food. The service was absolutely amazing. We had the most special time.

Judanaka station transfers were so very convenient for us as well as the transfers to Snow Monkey Park. The staff were incredibly patient and helpful even though we did not speak Japanese. The food served was really incredible. Even the kids meal was very thoughtfully planned and tasty. Location was perfect, it was so close to the shrine and a tiny play area with snow for kids was right next door. They also had a foot bath and next to an area with foot baths. The onsen on site was very nice especially the outdoor one. Not crowded at all. We had everything we needed, even great espresso at the front desk. We loved our stay.

the stay was very nice, very nice lady boss and very friendly,
The room was large and extremely cozy and warm for ryokan stay.
breakfast and dinner we have was so good. just love it.
They supplied us with the key for the 9 public onsens and all the instructions. We also had all the necessary items for the onsen trips including warm jackets for going out.
The onsen at the hotel is indoor and outdoor with an amazing view outdoors.

Definitely the best decision to change our booking (for 03 families) to Suminoyu Ryokan as the overall stay was a superb one right from the start. It was also a 2nd time stay in this ryokan for one of us.
Lady proprietor greeted us warmly outside the ryokan after we had parked our cars and her team immediately sprang into action welcoming and helping us with the bags and parking. It had snowed the night before so the roads were snowed in and iced and very cold.
As we were heading into snow monkey park, lady boss was concerned with the ladies' footwear and gladly offered her personal snow boots to 2 of our female travellers.
The rooms were clean, cosy and well maintained taking into account that the ryokan was fully booked.
Dinner and breakfast were served in a room separated for each travelling party. Service were prompt and excellent especially from a lady staff ( Filipina) who is always obliging and smiley.
The Onsen on the top floor was good and we enjoyed hot soaks daily with an awesome view of the mountain range.
Check out was swift and the farewell experience from lady owner and her team was with the highest recognition to their guests. They stood and waited to bid goodbye out in the cold even when we gestured that we would take a while to get ready.
Overall it was a great stay and the experience we had was exceptional from the team in Suminoyu Ryokan.
Thank you Suminoyu Ryokan, we will sure to be back!
4.8
The staff were so kind and helpful, and the included meals were exquisite. We were picked up from Yudanaka station and driven to the Snow Monkey Park the next morning. The location is within a block of two public onsens, but the hotel’s own onsen is even nicer and well-appointed.
4.8
Lovely ryokan experience at a reasonable price! Felt like a new property, with great rooms, food, and hospitality for our entire stay. Highly recommended for your first time staying at a ryokan, especially in an onsen village

Had a lovely stay at this Ryokan and would highly recommended it.
Staff were kind & accomandating and made sure I felt welcome as a solo traveller. When they heard I intended to visit the monkey park the day I arrived, they especially arranged for transportation to take me there.
The ryokan is english-friendly, especially my server for dinner who could hold a conversation. Food featured local ingredients and was excellent.

Lovely staff and excellent Onsen at this ryokan. The meals were fantastic too.

This property is beautifully maintained and operated. The staff goes above and beyond to assist in explaining what is offered at their facility and the surrounding area. The location is ideal to explore the town and Monkey Park. It is also close to public transportion. They offer shuttle service to and from the train station which is very helpful.

Amazing property. The ryokan style rooms were clean and had everything we needed with a private bathroom but no shower in the room. The staff was amazing - friendly and very helpful. We needed help figuring out part of our itinerary and they got us the taxi we needed and even offered to shuttle us in their van from the train station.
The service was amazing but so was the food. Well worth the price for the dinner and breakfast. Thank you so so much!

This Ryokan was an incredible experience - the host was extremely friendly and accommodating. It is in a great area with a lot of onsens around, or your own onsen on the top floor of the Ryokan. The host will take you to the snow monkey trail and pick you up/drop off at the station. Highly recommend this place is you’re looking for a Ryokan experience!!

We loved this hotel experience. It was our first time staying at a Ryokan and it really offered us what felt like an authentically Japanese cultural experience. The welcome and orientation process by English speaking staff made us feel very comfortable right away; we were escorted to our room and treated to tea and a locally made pastry; the traditions of the local onsen were explained, including how to wear the yakuta and how to access the public baths, as well as the bath on the top floor of this hotel. The breakfast in the morning was stunningly beautiful -- I wish we had reserved dinner too! And there is a free shuttle to the train station in the morning if you need it. The hotel also offers a shuttle to the Snow Monkey Park. Shibu Onsen is a beautiful little town, truly a gem, in my view.

Best onsen in the city. Mountain views are breathtaking.

Amazing little inn. Staff were excellent, very helpful & friendly. Hot springs were excellent both in the hotel and the old ones we had access to in the lovely town of Shibu. Inn had shuttle to train station & to Snow Monkey park. Best hotel/inn on our entire trip to Japan.

Located at the edge of a quaint and small town, this hotel took us by surprise, in a good way. We booked a traditional room with half board. I would definitely recommend you book this. The dinner and breakfast was absolutely delicious. They served kaiseki (traditional japanese dinner) and had about 10 different dishes, so although the servings seems small, it will get you full. Same with the breakfast. The room is simple but charming, old but very clean and the futons were very comfortable. They have a shared bath on the top floor and their own indoor and outdoor onsen. You also get a key to access the 9 onsens of Shibu Onsen which I would highly recommend you try. And on top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful (they also speak very good english). They helped us figure out a schedule for our departure to Kyoto the next day and offered to drive us early to the station so we can catch our train. I would visit Shibu Onsen just to stay at this hotel again.

A truly authentic traditional Japanese ryokan (inn) and onsen (hot spring bath) experience. Great room in Japanese tatami style with sliding doors. As it was still Spring during the day there was a "kotatsu" in the room - a low table with integrated electric blanket to keep your lower body toasty. Then in the evening while you're at dinner someone will set out the futon. The room has a personal toilet but for bathing you use the shared bathroom on the top (6th) floor.
Customer service was always eager & polite. Suminoyu got in touch to find out my train's arrival & arranged pickup by minibus. Suminoyu also provide a shuttle to the train station when checking out. Transport to Jigokudani Monkey Park is also provided but only one way & in the morning. That said it is only a 30 minute trek by foot back to Suminoyu.
As one of the participating Ryokans a guest here has automatic access to the 9 traditional Onsens around Shiba. Despite limited English, Suminoyu staff helped explain how to do the 9 Onsen experience & provided a key, yukata and towel. Upon request you can get a special printed cloth on which you use the official stamps from each onsen & a stamp from the local shrine. It is said if you complete all 9 baths & the shrine you will have good health and good luck.
Dinner & breakfast is "kaiseki", the equivalent of haute cuisine. Many small dishes of multiple flavours presented beautifully. Chopsticks only & your palate might be challenged.
