My American acquaintance wants to visit Shima Onsen for the "Spirited Away" vibe. He speaks almost no Japanese. Need recs for a ryokan there with English-speaking staff?

Shima Onsen Kashiwaya Ryokan

3829 Shima Nakanojo-machi Agatsuma-gun

  • Japanese style Ryokan (Japanese inn)

  • We recommend Shima Onsen Kashiwaya Ryokan (Japanese inn), which meets the standards of an international hotel. It has English-language guides and Western-style toilets. The large hot spring bath is spacious and relaxing.

  • Stay with peace of mind

  • This is a recommended hotel for tourists in Shima Onsen town in Gunma prefecture. The staff are kind and polite, so you can stay with peace of mind. The hotel and rooms have a purely Japanese atmosphere, which we think will be appreciated by foreign visitors as well.

report

  • A Japanese-style Ryokan (Japanese inn) where you can stay alone

  • Japanese-style Ryokan (Japanese inn) often refuse to accommodate single guests, but they can provide single rooms for you. Of course, English is spoken, and there are explanations of the facilities in English, so you can rest assured about how to use the baths. The three open-air baths can be rented out for private use. The food is a wonderful Japanese kaiseki meal, but if you have any dislikes, such as "I can't eat sashimi," we recommend that you ask in advance.

  • I was able to speak English.

  • I stayed here with a friend from abroad before. There was a staff member who could speak English, which was very useful. The food was delicious and my friend was very satisfied. There are three open-air baths, and the rooms and baths are very clean and well-maintained.

  • Shima Onsen Kashiwaya Ryokan (Japanese inn)

  • This Ryokan (Japanese inn) is also focusing on English support. In addition to the large public bath, there are also private open-air baths and rooms with open-air baths. This is also suitable for foreigners who are not comfortable with large public baths. For food, dinner is Japanese and breakfast can be chosen from Japanese and Western cuisine.
