Park Yeri Olan Shibukawa Otelleri

Stayed for 2 nights in early Dec 2024. Booked the mountain view twin room with cypress bath which comes with both dinner and breakfast. The ryokan styled hotel is located diagonally opposite from the shibukawa bus stop and about 5 mins walk (turn right from the hotel) to the Ikaho stone steps around the mid section of the steps. The hotel is old ryokan style but well maintained and does not see much wear and tear. The lobby which is on the 3rd floor (ground level) is big. No shoes allowed in the hotel, guests have to deposit their shoes at the entrance. Staff were all friendly and polite though not all can speak well in English. They do go much more to make you feel at home. Yutaka is provided at the lobby. My room which is located on the 4th floor corner is considered big. Old styled ryokan kind of design but with western bed. Though the room is laid with tatami on the floor but can still hear people walking if they area heavy or run. Corridor noise does filter in as well but muffled. Unblocked view of the mountain as the hotel sits on an elevated hill. I would recommend to stay with mountain view. The cypress bath can fit 2 person but takes a while to fill, I rather go to the public onsen. Besides the usual amenities, they even provide face wash, face moisturiser, etc in the room. Safe box is provided in the room as well. Wifi seems weak. No place in the bathroom however to hang your clothes or towel. There is an indoor onsen on the first floor and an outdoor one on the 8th floor. The onsen are gender separated. They rotate the male and female onsen on the first floor though both has the same look and facilities. The onsen on the 8th floor has a nice view of the city but no shower facilities. There is a massage chair on the first floor as well. Breakfast and dinner are served on the 2nd floor. I would not say that this is the best, but definitely delicious and sufficient. Check in at 3 pm and check out at 10am which I find a bit too early. Hope they can consider to extend. Overall I would recommend this place to stay if you are coming to ikaho.

Very clean and tidy. Room as pictured. Staff lovely... thank goodness for google translate. Private hot pools great...large. You had to get in quick as no booking - but good sysyem on co.outer to see when free. I American breakfast good (except tomato sauce ON tge omelette). Omelette was light and fluffy. Only about 10 minutes walk to the steps.

All staff members are friendly and helpful, managed to communicate with both English and simple Japanese! They even helped to plan my itinerary for the day. All the meals were delicious and fresh with generous portion. WIll definitely visit again next time =)

Thanks for the hospitality of the hotel, especially staff lǐhǎi yáng. He is re really helpful and always provides details explaining of Japan traditions. We feel grateful. We were arranged the smoking room, which was unexpected. With the help and the assist of Trip.com cs team and the translate of lǐhǎi yáng. We are promptly upgrade the room to newly decorated. Special thanks to Trip.com and staff lǐhǎi yáng.

我訂的日式房，窗外就是伊香保石段街，景色很不錯。酒店的環境，服務，一泊兩食的餐飲也非常好吃，餐前酒是酒店自釀的，一看都是花了很多心思在好好經營的酒店，非常温馨，家人孩子都異常滿意。訂的日式房贈送的私湯也很舒服，完美。

Kinchoro is the more exclusive wing of Fuikuichi. The rooms come sight private onsen and it’s similar to most 10 tatami rooms. The service from the staff is good. They are almost invisible when you don’t need them but will magically appear when you need help, during meal times and check in/out time. The food unfortunately seem to be so so only. I didn’t find it spectacular, and in fact fringing on being a bit too inventive. Otherwise, all okay.

急に日曜宿泊の一泊で予約しました。週末ではないので空きが多いと思い確認したら紅葉の時期からほぼ毎日満室とのこと。 石段横のロケーション、食事内容の豪華さから納得はしましたがそれなりの金額。妻は大満足しており次回を急かされております。

應該算是伊香保最好住的酒店，四百多年歷史，但不覺得舊，幾個湯都很棒，服務人員專業周到，大堂的小機器人超級可愛。19層去往石階進出口的通道里有一家小餐廳，三個包間，每晚8-11點半營業，煎餃和拉麪都好吃。這個地方的人友善好客，烏冬面是地方特產，每家都好吃；黑船屋的祖傳石鍋咖喱飯特別美味；Sara’s Terrace Arraiya 的套餐很家常；Lungo自家烘培的咖啡最好喝，配一串年糕糰子太香了！階梯旁的抹茶店已經很網紅，但店員好熱心啊，見我摔倒了立刻拿急救箱跑出來給我處理傷口，感動！附近的原美術館也很值得一去，在一個有很多羊的牧場裏。

Their consideration for the 2nd day stay meals were different and gave us delicious sets to eat. Right next to the magnificent view of the famous Ikaho onsen stone stairs with sweet filling desserts.

The room is very nice and spacious with an attached private onsen. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. Buffet dinner and breakfast are very delicious. We enjoyed our stay very much.
