2. What to know when choosing an inn in Nasu and Shiobara
Inns in Nasu Town have been subject to a lodging tax since October 1, 2026. It has 6 levels, from ¥100 if the room-only price is under ¥10,000 per person per night, ¥500 for ¥20,000 to under ¥30,000, up to ¥3,000 for ¥100,000 or more, and children under 12 are exempt (Nasu Town’s lodging tax guide, Japanese). It is not included in Rakuten Travel prices, and you pay it separately at the inn. Because it is a Nasu Town ordinance, the Shiobara inns, which are in Nasushiobara City, are not covered. The separate bathing tax is ¥150 per adult at many inns.
The free buses in Nasu all require a reservation. Hotel Sun Valley Nasu leaves Nasu-Shiobara Station at 10:40, 13:35 and 15:50. Hotel Epinard Nasu does not run a trip that has no reservation.
For the Shiobara inns, you take a local bus from Nasu-Shiobara Station (about 60 minutes) or a bus from Nishi-Nasuno Station to the Shiobara Onsen Bus Terminal.
Some baths close in winter. Omaru Onsen Ryokan closes the mixed-gender “Azami-no-Yu” and the women-only “Yamayuri-no-Yu” because of snow, and Hotel Ohruri reduces its private “Shichifukujin-no-Yu” baths to 3 and closes the “Tenku” private open-air bath. For people driving, Hotel Laforet Nasu asks you to prepare winter tires or chains.

5. Choosing between Nasu and Shiobara
If you travel by Shinkansen, take a shuttle to the inn and spend the daytime by car at a safari park or a ranch, the large hotels in Nasu are easier to plan around. If you go by bus and stay in the onsen town, the Shiobara inns you can walk to from a bus stop, such as Hotel Ohruri and Kamiaizuya, are a better fit.
The prices in the table are for the lowest-priced room at each inn, and that room does not always have its own bath or toilet. Prices vary by room conditions, such as the old building at Ohruri and the rooms without a private bath at Hotel New Shiobara.
