J'ai eu maintenant le privilège de séjourner dans cet hôtel à quatre reprises ces dernières années. L'hôtel est maintenant devenu l'un de mes endroits préférés pour séjourner au Japon. Chaque séjour a été mémorable. Les chambres sont très confortables, tranquilles et propres. Il y a même un tatami traditionnel avec un futon, mais un style occidental sont également disponibles. Le dîner et le petit déjeuner est délicieux. Il y a également un choix varié de saveurs et les types de plats, la présentation était excellente et tout était délicieux - très agréable. Particulièrement apprécié des repas ont été shabu-shabu cuits dans du papier toilette et des œufs cuisinés à la source d'eau chaude. Le service est exceptionnel à tous points de vue. Les propriétaires et le personnel sont très accueillants, comme un vieil ami. L'hôtel a sa propre piscine dans l'hôtel, et il y a un certain nombre d'autres Onsen dans le village. Vous devrez quitter l'hôtel bien nourris, détendus et revigorés.

“Meilleur Ryokan jamais”

Ma femme et moi y sommes allés pour un anniversaire et c'était fantastique ! Le personnel était sympathique, la chambre était magnifique, les sources étaient relaxant, et la nourriture était incroyable. Si vous cherchez un super ryokan où séjourner, je recommande vivement cet hôtel !!!

We'll always remember Shimofujiya for their hospitality and delicious food. All the staff were incredibly kind and thoughtful, and they added a personal touch to everything they did. The room itself was gorgeous. We picked the suite with the cedar bath which I really enjoyed. In retrospect, any of the other rooms would have been great for us as well but we did enjoy having our own private bath. For the women, when you arrive you can pick your yukata material and then a staff member will come up when you are ready to help you put it on. The men also have a yukata provided. Suddenly you're transformed! :) We spent the next hour taking photos and walking around the property, although it was a little chilly being the end of November. I could write many pages about the food, both dinner and breakfast, but it is something you need to experience first-hand and I believe the meal is seasonal as well. My only tip in that respect is to arrive hungry :) If you are hesitant about using the onsen, you can book the beautiful outdoor one for 30 minutes at a time in the evening and for a reasonable cost. Make sure you make a reservation when you arrive. Also, the outdoor onsen doesn't have a shower so remember to shower beforehand. We are very grateful for the kindness of literally every single staff member at Shimofujiya. They work hard to provide a luxurious experience for their guests. A few tips which may be helpful: - You can send the hotel an email from Tripadvisor to request a shuttle bus pick up from the Nasushioabara bus station. The email isn't on their website as far as I could see. - If you learn some basic Japanese, it will go a long way. Most of the staff speak only Japanese and it will help you conduct basic communication if you know a few phrases. - If you have time, it's worth taking a stroll around the Nasushiobara bus terminal as well. The info booth has lots of resources. - Depending on your experience, there's a chance you'll eat something here that you've never had before (and won't be able to identify before you eat it!). Beforehand you can work out your dietary restrictions but otherwise, best to expect an amazing eating adventure!

This was the best stay I had in Japan. The families that run this place define hospitality. The breakfast and dinners are incredible, so make sure you include them. We were late and lost when we arrived in town, they had someone waiting for us at the bus stop. I was embarrassed at how many times they must have drove down looking for us, but they couldn't have been nicer. It's a very traditional Japanese inn, which means toilet and basin in the room and community bathroom with an onsen (men on 2nd floor, women on third). The rooms are very good. Make sure you reserve the onsen right next door, it's fabulous. Caveats: they do not speak English but communicate through google translate on their smart phones. Don't let that deter you though. Also, they accept cash only and ATMs are a little hard to find. If you need cash, go to the ATM at the post office in town, it's always open. There are ski slopes 10 minutes away and fly fishing in the river near the town, I wish I knew about the fly fishing. And fishing even in winter because the hotsprings probably keep the river from freezing. Can't wait to go back!
