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

    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.

    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.

    Extremely friendly people, who make you feel at home. Very special atmosphere (and tatami floor) which makes the trip unique. Great to stay 1-2 nights and enjoy the secluded area and special food. Kimono experience is as well very good, as the ones which can be tried on are very special.

    The breakfast was a bit "too Japanese" for my taste but all of high quality. You need to adapt to common bath and toilet as well as futon bed (a bit too hard for me), but that's a matter of course

    This was a truly wonderful and authentic experience. We really felt we were almost back in time. The location is magical in a 550 year old Buddhist temple. Yukata are available to wear and you can also try on kimono. A magnificent dinner and breakfast was also a highlight. The beds were so comfy and the hot bath sent us off to sleep. If you want to try something really authentic, add this place to your Japan itinerary!
