Reservable private bath
Shibu Onsen Kokuya
Historic wooden ryokan with reservable private baths
from ~$576 / nightView stay →
A single stone lane in snow country, nine public baths, and wooden inns that have stood for centuries.
71 dining spots and 145 places to stay are counted in 下高井郡山ノ内町 — the bath is one part of the evening, not the whole of it.
Every property listed here has a private bath — a reservable private bath or an open-air bath in your own room — so tattoos are a non-issue, and so is privacy.
