Itoen Hotel Shiobara

The Onsen was amazing.It really made my skin feel silky smooth! I enjoyed the variety of baths, and the reclining bath was pleasantly warm and very relaxing.Our Room was a Japanese-Western style room in the annex—clean, spacious, and we were very satisfied. We were able to relax as a family.The view of the river right in front of us was also wonderful, so I’d love to visit again in a different season.

My first solo trip. On a weekday, with breakfast and dinner included, it was in the 8,000-yen range. I didn’t have high expectations, but I was very satisfied. The Facility is understandably old, but it has been renovated and is fairly clean.The sauna in the bath is available until 9:00 p.m. at night and from 6:00 a.m. in the morning. It was my first time trying a morning sauna. This time I also tried the reclining bath for the first time—it was incredibly relaxing, and I ended up soaking four times.Meals were a buffet with about 30 items; when dishes ran low they were properly replenished, and the seasoning was just right—very satisfying.The staff at the front desk and in the dining area were also very attentive with their greetings, which I really appreciated.Considering the price as well, I’d personally rate it about 4.8 out of 5.If you’re interested, I definitely recommend staying here.
