Additional information

Shibu Onsen is a small hot spring town located in the Nagano prefecture of Japan. It is known for its many ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) and its nine public hot springs, known as “onsen” in Japanese. The town is situated in the Joshinetsu Kogen National Park, surrounded by beautiful forests and mountains.

One of the unique features of Shibu Onsen is that visitors can purchase a “yukata pass” which allows them to wear a traditional Japanese yukata while exploring the town and visiting the different hot springs. The town is also known for its traditional architecture, with many of the ryokans and buildings dating back to the Edo period.

In addition to relaxing in the hot springs, visitors to Shibu Onsen can also enjoy hiking, skiing, and other outdoor activities in the surrounding area. The Jigokudani Monkey Park, where visitors can observe Japanese macaques bathing in hot springs, is also located nearby.
