I very much enjoyed my stay at the Shimobe Hotel. I originally wanted to stay at a nearby temple in Mount Minobe but realized that it was mainly an experience made for foreigners. I think we were the only foreigners there for our 2-night stay. I personality want to avoid staying with foreigners and want more of the local experience. The service was great, they could check you in and out without too much of a language barrier. We added dinner during check-in without any problem, we realized that the town closed early at night and was concerned that we wouldn't find a great place to eat dinner. The buffet dinner was great and we got a complimentary sashimi plate and yuzu highball on our second day. The breakfast buffet was also very good with a mix of local and western dishes. The station is located right near the hotel so it makes it a perfect spot to make a quick Mount Minobe day trip.

This place is incredible, the onsens were great. We drove from Numazu and this was by far one of the most scenic drives we've experienced in Japan. The entire Fuji river valley is breathtaking. As sleepy as the town is, this hotel and staff make up for it all w/ food drink, drum show, mochi pounding, and even small fishing opportunity. We had our infant son with us the entire time and the staff loved seeing him every chance they got. There were a few members on staff that could also speak english. Dinner and breakfast were great, couldn't stop eating the ayu on a stick; it was sooo good. We walked over the melody bridge about 5 mins away, on the way is a small liquor store on the left, grab an ice cold beer to beat the heat!

A six-story hotel suddenly appears in the middle of nowhere (satoyama). The greetings from all the staff upon arrival at the hotel were pleasant and gave me high expectations. First of all, I like the bath! There were many open-air baths, and the hot spring water was about 36°C.It was a nice hot spring that made you want to take a dip in any of the baths. The food was all very delicious, including fillet steak prepared in a live kitchen, charcoal-grilled yamame trout, and rice balls. In particular, the dried yamame trout for breakfast was rare, and the sandwich with it between croissants was the most delicious and unforgettable thing I've ever had.

Although the building is very old, the lounge on the first floor has a modern appearance, which is completely different from the ruin-like atmosphere seen from the exterior. The lounge offers free all-you-can-drink draft beer, red and white wine, and highballs in plastic and paper cups until 6:00 p.m. Self-service, and no snacks are provided, so it's a good idea to bring some persimmon beans. Now, the guest rooms (guest room floors) are clean, but they are basically old structures and facilities. Rooms that are undergoing renovation may be different. The key is not an auto-lock or card key, but a key with a large crystal keychain attached. The view from the room is surrounded by mountains and is peaceful, but the window frame is rusted and looks like it's going to rot, so you lose the feeling of looking out. There are rooms on the track side (entrance side) and on the road side (bath side), but the track side (entrance side) is better because you can see less of the hotel's exterior walls. I think the hot springs are alkaline, and I felt that the quality of the hot springs was very good. The open-air bath has a splendid rock bath and cypress bath, but it is surrounded by a wall and created with carefully crafted rocks and trees. You can't see the sky, but you can't see it because of the splendid wooden roof, but being able to feel the cool breeze makes it feel good in an open-air bath. We had a buffet plan for both dinner and breakfast, but the contents were far below expectations. I don't think there are any professional chefs on staff. At least I don't think there are any professional chefs in charge of buffet cooking. It was advertised as beef fillet steak, but it felt more like pork fillet. It is served rare on a small iron plate. It looked like pork, so I was worried about it being rare, so I ate it when it was cooked through. I sometimes see hotels that have an important history, such as having hosted members of the imperial family or famous celebrities in the past, but the way they rely on that history makes me feel sad. This lower hotel is Mr. Yuro Ishihara. There are many photos of celebrities enjoying their private time with their families displayed next to the souvenir shop.

When you park at the hotel entrance, a staff member will come to pick you up and carry your luggage. The staff's response was good. It was a reasonable room, but the toilet and bath were separate, so the washroom was a little small, but there was no problem with the plumbing. However, there are quite a few steps when entering the toilet, and I'm worried that elderly people may fall asleep and take their feet off, especially late at night. Although it was a low bed, I slept comfortably. The scenery outside is nice, but I think it was a little negative that the screen door couldn't be moved. Well, I guess it can't be helped because insects will come in. Dinner is a buffet. People who are looking forward to it based on the video may feel that there are surprisingly few? However, I am satisfied because I have a certain number of favorite foods. Yamame fish is a signature item, and even though I'm not a big fan of grilled fish, I didn't notice any bones in it and it was delicious. I received two, which is rare. The breakfast buffet has a different style of menu than other hotels. There was a wide selection of breads, and the croissant with wild fish was also delicious. It was also nice that the staff handed out freshly baked croissants! The men and women in the hot springs switch places at night, but the basic style remains the same. The changing room is clean and there are lockers for valuables. The indoor bath is a sulfur spring at 36 degrees, and the alkaline spring next door is the lower communal hot spring. Outside, there is a communal hot spring in the lower part of the building, with hot water ranging from lukewarm to boiling water. The sulfur springs are only faintly perceptible, but the bubble bath and jet bath dissipate the smell, so the smell is quite strong. Therefore, if you put your back against a jet bath, etc., the sulfur smell will not be emitted much, which is unfortunate. After-bath service, alcohol was available until dinner, some drinks were available until the Taiko Festival, and ice cream was available until 10pm. I'm satisfied with the after-bath service, but I wish everything would have been open until around 11pm. It was a satisfying stay for me, who likes both the sulfur smell and the insensible temperature.

This time I went by car, but it is located a 1-minute walk from Shimobe Station on the Minobu Line. Easy to go even without a car. Easily accessed from the Tokyo area using the Chubu Crossing Road via the Shin-Tomei and Shin-Shimizu Interchanges. The information at the front desk was thorough, and the staff members carefully explained to each group about travel discount coupons, etc. while sitting on the lobby sofa. Because the baths were for men and women, both baths were very well designed and very nice. The notes on the rooms and bathrooms were also a bit quirky and made me laugh. It would be a little disappointing if it said, ``If the insects are floating, save them with a net,'' but it also says, ``The insects at the bottom also love hot springs, so if they seem to be taking a long bath, please gently release them.'' It makes me feel warm when I see him. After bathing, we not only offer ice cream and water, but also beer, shochu high, and wine for free. After taking a bath, you can take a short break and then return to your room.

I booked directly from the hotel because the prefectural discount worked. The parking lot is large and easy to enter. It is polite to put your luggage in the cart when you arrive. I stayed for the purpose of the carp in the garden and the hot spring. The carp in the garden is also very beautiful, and I also kept crayfish. Towels are also placed at the footbath and you can feel the thoughtfulness. My room was on the 7th floor and I could just see a gray heron living with a baby! The meals are gorgeous, and they always come around with warm, freshly prepared dishes. Freshly made puwa puwa bread, there are many types of bread, and it is recommended for those who like bread! Watermelon was also delicious. I felt that the staff working there were all friendly and very kind, and they were doing their job with a sense of purpose. There are many types of hot springs, and there are plenty of amenities. It was nice to have hot water with a lower temperature than other hot springs, but the guests that day liked the hot water at a lower temperature, so many people were in the hot water and it was crowded, so there were other hot springs. I thought it would be nice if you could make hot water with a lower temperature. I am very happy to be able to go see fireflies at night. However, I was not able to see the mochi pounding at the same time as the mochi pounding, so I thought it would be great if you could host the event at a different time. My mother left something in the room, but it was very kind of you to send it to me. A few days later, I received a letter in response to my comments about my stay. It is a highly recommended hotel where thoughtfulness and detailed consideration have been made in everything! Also, if you have a chance, I definitely want to go!

After all, the hospitality of the staff is wonderful. I was especially grateful to Mr. K, who was in charge of dinner, but I was surprised that the Kagoshima people who accompanied me knew well about Tenmonkan in the downtown area of Kagoshima. Thanks to you, we had an enjoyable dinner with delicious food. It was an inn that I would definitely stay again.
