Shibu Onsen

Reviewed By Aprime1980 - London, United Kingdom

I came here for the 9 onsens which is days to cure any illness but big broken hearts You can also get the keys to open those onsens from ryokan in that Immediate area so please enquire I wore a full sleeve thermal room Yukata and hanten which is like a winter Yukata from my ryokan. I also had warm socks and borrowed an umbrella from my ryokan befire waking about. You need to buy a towel which comes in a red envelope for 350 I will tell you on how to do the stamps. So get the key from the ryokan which should be attached to a big wooden thin block do you can’t lose it plus there should be a small plastic map attached to it Read the rules of the onsen at of the 9 buildings. I used cold water in the onsen to make it cooler I would advice against doing all 9 in one go as your towel will become quiet wet after the 3rd or 4th time Spread it over 2 days. Please use my photo to see where the stamps go and what way up. The top stamp is simple as all are like that apart from the big stamp on the top row Each onsen had 2 stamps where the fire symbol goes on the top and where on the towel it goes. It’s the bottom stamp you want to get right , look at the back to see the number on what way it is up OR make sure the metal pin on the back of the big stamp is on the top / 12 o clock position Number 1 onsen is in the far right of the towel as the Japanese counting is right to left. You don’t need to do the stamps in order as where my ryokan was the order I did it was 3,2,1,4,5,6,7,8,9 otherwise I would have back track and j would recommend carrying water or you can buy from the vending machine There are toilets which your map key should show as a green symbol. There was a building near onsen 1 which was on the map which had toilets and had table tennis stands on it. After you complete you should do what I did and get a nice ramen and soft drink bit if you drink alcohol then by all means get that I did at 1900 to be fair as I knew it would be quiet and it would be even more beautiful with the lights like the anime spirited away I will get my towel framed and please observe and obey the rules. If you have tattoos then as the rules say don use the onsen. I ain’t got any so that wasn’t my problem Please don’t be that stupid foreigner who makes the rest of us look bad. Please do research and if you use the cold water in the onsen then turn it off after use

Yudanaka Onsen

Reviewed By TheFilmyCouple - Singapore, Singapore

A non touristy onsen, Yudanaka is a much better choice if you like a local experience for lesser cost. The ryokans are excellent and good options to eat as well???????? Plus very convenient to take public buses to Snow monkey park, Shibu Onsen, Shiga Kogen Ski area. The railway station is walkable as well!
