Getting here and parking
Q. Is there a parking lot?
There is a private parking lot just before our hotel. Please park your vehicle using the "Sakaeya P" sign as a landmark before coming to the hotel. *Please note that large vehicles such as minibuses and campervans cannot enter the Shibu Onsen area, so we will direct you to a paid parking lot in Shibu Onsen. (We apologize, but parking fees will be the responsibility of the guest.)
Q. I'd like to go by motorcycle. Is there a parking area for motorcycles?
Yes, we do. For motorcycles, we ask that you park in the designated parking area in front of the entrance or just before the building. Please note that neither the parking area nor the area in front of the entrance is covered. We can lend you a seat cover.
Q. Can I call a taxi?
Yes, please do so. If there is availability, we can usually arrange it in about 5 minutes. However, on Sundays, long weekends, and during peak seasons, same-day reservations may not be possible, so we recommend making your reservation the day before.
Q. Do I need winter tires?
From late November to late March, we ask that guests arriving by car use winter (studless) tires. Studded tires are not used in Japan.
Q. Is there a shuttle service from Yudanaka Station?
Yes. Our shuttle runs by reservation only. Complimentary pickups leave at 14:40, 16:20 and 17:40. For the 15:00 hour there is a public bus, so we ask that you use that service. At other times, and for transfers to and from the Snow Monkey Park, the shuttle is 500 yen per person each way. Please just ask us.
