Why Visit Shibu Onsen: Beautiful Traditional Japanese Town

Shibu Onsen is where Japenese people come to be traditional, wearing yukata's & bathing in the 9 natural onsens that run through the town.
The area is most famous for Jigokudani monkey park. Where wild macaques bathe in the hot springs during the winter months to avoid the cold
Japan has many mesmerising areas. Of course, you should visit Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. However there are so many secret Japanese villages and towns that are off the beaten path, at least by western tourists.
The best time of year to visit Shibu Onsen is December to March

Howling at you having your shoes stolen.....and then stolen again! Haha hopefully the luck from the onsens changed all that for you.

👍👍👍✌✌✌ It really is a beautiful country isn't it 😊

[@keithgyles9826]

Love your vlogs, off to Japan for a month next week. We’re in Shibu Onsen for 2 nights. How long did it take to do all nine onsens, where did you get the robes and slippers, I’ve seen some videos of people stamping a souvenir cloth, did you see that?

[@TravelBeans]

You can probably get them from your hotel.. that's what we did. It was a long time ago so it's difficult to remember.. but I would guess it took us a couple of hours or so. Never saw a souvenir cloth..

[@rachelandnick]

Now that you have good fortune you can rest easy knowing no one will ever steal your shoes ever again. :-) - Nick

[@TravelBeans]

+The Drunken Bear Haha thats true. I haven't had my shoes stolen for 3 weeks now.

[@alphabot7820]

[@TravelBeans]

+ALPHA BOT we have subbed back and will check it out :)

[@alphabot7820]

thank you very much! We are just beginners and we blog about japan and other kids' stuff.

[@JouninK]

I'm pretty sure that song you guys quoted in the intro is about "O- faces", but what ev's...

[@stevegrey9829]

At least you can criticise the shoe thief because you've walked a mile in his shoes.

[@koreasuperstar9722]

thank youfor your vedio, *^^*

[@TravelBeans]

+Korea Super thank you for watching :)

[@ShazWag]

Which month did you go and where dd you stay? I'll be taking my teenage daughter to Japan for the whole month of October and we'd like to stay overnight in Shibu to visit these onsens. Where do you go to get the robes, keys, and map? Many thanks. We love your channel (^^)

[@lukedennis2503]

Great video guys, what time of year was it when you were there? I noticed it was cold but never really saw any snow so I'm guessing Feb? I'm heading there in January :)

[@TravelBeans]

We were there around November/December.. it did snow at some points towards the end of our stay. So there might be snow in January. It's so beautiful when it snows there.. you'll love it. Enjoy your trip :)

[@lukedennis2503]

@@TravelBeans thanks so much. Can't wait :)

[@davidhall2979]

Sooo me and my friend have tattoos and i wanna go can we i heard it depends also can ya get some beer?

[@TravelBeans]

Good question. My gf has tattoos (small) and was no problem. There was no one policing it so it should be fine but no guarantees. Yeah you can get beer easily in local restaurants and shops, at least we did :)

[@rosaliegrierson-burgess1660]

How many hours roughly did it take you to do all 9? Thank you!

[@iancrawford2496]

I need an onsen that cures diarrhea.

[@clifflee5404]

have you found any mixed bathing ones? I heard some are old fashioned where everyone is naked. personally I couldn't do that I'm not bold enough. I wouldn't mind mixed bathing with swim trunks on.

[@TravelBeans]

+Cliff Lee We never saw a mixed bathing onsen during our time in Japan. I thought before I visited an onsen that I would not be able to go in there completely naked, but I did it. It was very weird to be naked around other people at first, but after time it becomes less weird.

[@maskancan]

im pretty jelly :-(

[@TravelBeans]

+maskancan haha sorry :)

[@franzfms86]

What camera you guys using?

[@TravelBeans]

We are using the sony a series, which we have found are great for travel as they are so small and lightweight!

[@franzfms86]

Wow. Thanks for the advise.

[@dimasfrans03]

I love your video of Shibu Onsen, but I don't like the little prank you did on someone else's getas! you can do a prank in your home country, but in other people's countries, you need to adhere to their culture.

[@scottjaso988]

Is it close to Tokyo?

[@TravelBeans]

It is about 3 and half hours from Tokyo

[@ivanmtzmdc]

I love u

[@TravelBeans]

+Ivan Martinez haha we love you too!

[@kirarakhim6029]

ow it's very pretty, I want been with you. you are very beautiful

[@jonathanwahchai4350]

Your girl is beautiful

[@anasibndawood6696]

How naked are you talking about ?

[@ShazWag]

Naked means no clothes. It's completely normal here in Germany to be completely naked at beaches, bathing around lakes, and even in parks in the summer. It's known as "FKK" (Freierkörperkultur) - "free body culture". You get used to it after a while...

[@anasibndawood6696]

Shaz W oh about Europe I know , believe me. Everything and anything has become normal this day in age. Thanks for the insight
