Yudanaka Shibu Hot Spring Village is an elegant hot spring village in the north of the Shinshu region that encompasses numerous hot springs. Enter the village by following the Yokoyu River downstream and the first facility you’ll come to is Andaikan, a natural hot spring with unaltered water from Andai Hot Springs. Andaikan is housed in rustic 3-story wooden building with a long history – Andaikan was established in 1902! We pride ourselves on our warm hospitality and sumptuous meals, and will go the extra mile to make your trip one to remember.
※ Please note that this hotel will be a hot spring inn in Anyo Yudanaka Onsen, so you can not use the outside hot spring tour of Shibu Onsen.
Enjoy dinner with over 14 dishes made from delectable seasonal ingredients such as fresh mountain vegetables and freshwater fish.
We constantly revise our recipes to serve you the most delicious seasonal Shinshu cuisine possible…and make sure there’s something new for you to enjoy each time you visit!
Enjoy delicious beef steak from cows carefully raised in the vast natural pastures of the Shinshu region.
This beef has a unique sweetness and a melt-in-your-mouth texture (available with the premium plan).
Soak up the traditional atmosphere of our two indoor baths, with the same temperature and abundance of water as the days when people first started bathing in Andai Hot Springs.
The men’s and women’s bath are switched after breakfast and dinner every day, so you can try both baths in one day!
Outdoor baths at Andai Hot Springs can only be used by locals and by guests staying at Andai Hot Springs.
Share a memorable experience with the locals in these unaltered natural hot spring baths in a spacious, high-ceilinged area.
