We liked everything about Shimaya! This is a small family business, run by a lovely elderly couple. They are very helpful, offer a lot of good tips on sightseeing and restaurants in the area, and even drive you to the Monkey Park for free. The ryokan is extremely clean and tidy, everything spotless. We stayed in a traditional room, fully equipped with everything we need, and with a beautiful view across the mountains. The onsen is cosy and available all day, and you also have the possibility to book a separate private onsen if you want to have it for yourself. You are offered yukatas, slippers, towels, hygiene products and everything you need as soon as you arrive. Matcha tea is also available in the room. Breakfast covers everything you need, and is served with piano music in the background. A wonderful cultural experience, strongly recommended!

We all loved everything about our stay at Shimaya! The host was wonderful—kind, knowledgeable, interested in our trip, and fun fact: he and his family are the sixth generation to be running this lovely. quaint, and well-situated hotel.

What a great quirky place. Mr Yamato was so helpful, picking us up from the station, taking us to the Snow Monkey Park and then giving us a lift back to the station. Everything despite being dated was very clean. Our first Ryokan experience, very comfortable. Loved the pianola at Breakfast
The property is showing its age a little, the decor is unique and a little dated and clean. There are a few stains on sanitaryware but through age not hygiene

The area is beautiful and convenient for us (we had a rental car). The owner is very sweet
It was old and not maintained and overpriced, onsen not great
