Shimobe Hotel

546. Shimobe Hotel, Shimobe Onsen, Yamanashi ★ Visited for higaeri at 1200. Higaeri hours are listed as 11:00 to 15:00. They stamp the Yamanashi 100 Onsen book. A large hotel with lots of staff — all in traditional uniforms and very attentive, always reacting to both me and other guests in the hotel. For overnight guests there's a bath rotation by gender and an interesting private bath. Bath photos are from the internet, match the real thing. 1. Outdoor area. No view. 1.1. Polygonal bath with clear water, temperature around 40.5. 1.2. Large stone bath. Clear water, temperature around 39.5. 1.3. Small stone bath. Clear water, temperature around 35.5. 2. Indoor area. Breathing inside is good. 2.1. Large bath with clear water, temperature around 40. 2.2. Small bath with clear water, temperature around 35.5. 2.3. Sauna. Pleasant place, both the onsens and the staff, especially for such a large hotel. 12.05.2025
