Shiroganeya Ryokan

I simply can't rate or recommend this place enough. 

The food - like a Japanese degustation every night. It is well worth the money and I highly recommend it.

The room was quite spacious and comfortable.

The hosts were friendly and very helpful.

Right in the heart of Shibu Onsen. Public bath number 7 is just across the road.

Everything about the 2 nights we had in this hotel was excellent. The owner/chef and the other staff were so helpful and professional. Our rooms were perfect. We had a private onsen, but the public onsen was really nice too. The food was fantastic. Each course was delightfully presented and the flavours were perfect. The local wine is also very good and excellent value. 
We were fortunate to be there for the annual Fireworks festival. The Ryokan provided a shuttle bus. We have seen many firework displays but this probably ranks as number one!
The Ryokan is a 2km walk from the Snow Monkey park. We had a really fun time there too. 
This would be an excellent Ryokan for your first experience in a traditional Japanese Inn. 

Great family run ryokan. Some knowledge of the Japanese language required as all except the daughter speak only Japanese. The entire family is full of sweet and caring people, it really felt like I was part of the family. The room was nice and spacious, you're greeted with a nice treat waiting in your room on top of the kotatsu. A water heater is provided alongside a tea set and some matcha green tea, there is also a tv set with lots of channels. The room has 2 resting seats in a separate area of the room, where the sink and closet are located. You get a yukata to wear during your stay, and a bag with all the necessities for getting yourself clean (toothbrush, tooth paste, razor, towels, etc). I really enjoyed my two day stay here and would definitely stay there again on my next visit to Shibu Onsen.

We stayed for two nights and it was a great experience.  The evening meal of shabu-shabu was a feast, a huge range of dishes which were more than we could possibly eat.  It was great to try a huge range of home cooked japanese food. Some were a challenge to our western tastes and they quietly noted what we did not eat and served us a different shabu shabu the following night (replacing some foods with things westerners are familiar with like sushi and tempura).
They have their own onsen but we had fun going around the town clocking up a dip in the 9 onsens there to bring us good health.  The ryokan supplies great quality yukata, robes and wooden sandals if you wish to wear them.
The family running the ryokan speak little english but they were extremely friendly and polite.  We felt at home.  The ryokan itself is a bit of a higgledy piggledy maze and had a whiff of kerosene about it while we were there thanks to the indoor (and unflued) kerosene heaters.  Our room was big but suprisingly warm (small gas heater) and had a stream running past the window outside which was a relaxing noise.
