Shibu Onsen

Right at the foot of Shiga Kogen, the largest snow area in Japan, the internationally popular Shibu Onsen offers hot springs, bars, Japanese and Western style restaurants, karaoke, souvenir shops and a traditional cork gun shooting range, all within walking distance of the Snow Monkey Park! This charming town’s over 700-year history, famous for being a sanctuary for warriors to recuperate during the warring states period, is reflected by stunning inns with some owners being the 17th generation. 110-minutes from Tokyo to Nagano Station by bullet train, then a 50-minute train ride to Yudanaka Station, followed by a brief 5-minute taxi ride will have you at Shibu Onsen in no time.
