Situated 37 km from Lake Shojiko, Temple Lodging Shukubo Kakurinbo offers 2-star accommodation in Minobu and features a garden. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The ryokan has family rooms.

At the ryokan, each unit comes with a tatami. Each unit has air conditioning, and some units at the ryokan have a terrace.

It is just amazing, the location, the surroundings, the food, the staff. It felt good for body and soul to be there, peaceful and relaxing. I will certainly come back if I will be in Tokyo again, an oasis of peace not fare from Tokyo. Thanks Junko-san!

Situated just steps away from JR Shimobe Onsen Station, this hotel boasts various natural hot spring baths that date back 2000 years. Guests can unwind in the Japanese-style guest rooms or relax with the foot bath at the lounge. Japanese drum show and mochi rice cake cooking show by the hotel staff are held every night.

As an European we loved Shimobe Hotel. We visited hotel to feel like Japanese people during vacation, and it was brilliant. We could dip our feet in hot water watching koi fish pool, we were invited to mash rice to make rice cakes during evening animations, and there is beautiful stone outdoor onsen. Everything was far beyond our expectations, and I recommend Shimobe Hotel to everyone seeking calmness, relax and friendly atmosphere in traditional Japanese style

    Clean, spacious, excellent service with big smiles and open heart, the best food at diner and breakfast, very interesting temple and a nice tour at it. The team made their best to make us comfortable, happy and satisfied even on Japanese standards. Nice simple Onsen.

    The rooms are huge and with a wonderful garden view. The dinner was big, food was good, however pricy for what it is. Can book a timeslot to go to onsen privately and attend the morning prayers. Also a lot ot activities are available, but most of them besides kimono fitting, need to book in advance. A lot of parking space.

    Wonderful stay at this temple, outside of time. My room was spacious and very beautiful, right next to the prayer room of the temple. The futon was comfortable and the food really good both at dinner and breakfast. The priest welcomed me and walked me to the tomb of the master of Minobu, and also helped me to explain how to participate in the morning prayers at the main hall. I wish I could have stayed there for a few days.

    Amazing place with a delicious and outstanding dinner ! We really enjoyed our stay and the staff was extremely friendly ! We could also enjoy the Japanese onsen by reserving a time slot, which was very convenient. If you want to live a comfy and authentic experience, I would strongly advise for Shukubo Kakurinbo :)

    wonderful Japanese Ryokan, welcoming, we felt transported to the well-being that this place brings you for the onsen you can enter with tattoos and as a couple, because they put your name in a time slot and you are alone inside.

    It's tempting to rate this place higher bcz staff is nice, but that's not everything. The hotel itself is mediocre at best. Food is okay, nothing to write home about. Close to a beautiful Buddhist monastery, and has a nice zen garden. I have stayed at other ryokans for much less $ and much better facilities.

    Beautiful place! Huge clean rooms. Comfortable futons. Closness to the teples and ability to take part in morning sutra singing. Staff speaks English. The dinner and the breakfast was tasty, beautifully plated, very interesting as well with a chance to try sth completely new (yuba chips!). Apart from all that - you can learn something about the culture as well, as they prepared a little festival experience for us.
