  • We stayed as a group of four—my older sister, my mother, my aunt, and me—to celebrate my sister’s 60th birthday.Thank you for the flowers and message card delivered to our Room.Having photos taken during dinner also became a wonderful keepsake.You even prepared a special outfit for the 60th birthday celebration, which truly warmed our hearts.Since it was a weekday, the baths were not crowded, which was perfect for my elderly mother and aunt.For dinner (we chose a Plan with fewer dishes because two of us are elderly), everything was elegantly seasoned, and there were still enough dishes to leave us completely satisfied.It was the most delicious meal I have ever had in my life.In two years, I would like to stay again to celebrate my mother’s 88th birthday.

  • I have stayed here several times for memorial services, and this time I stayed to visit my younger sister and grandmother. It used to be a Kanpo no Yado, so when I said, “I’m staying at Kanpo,” it reassured them. The building isn’t new, but the baths were spacious and relaxing. Since the men’s and women’s baths alternate every other day, I was able to enjoy both. The meals are always delicious, and this time as well I was satisfied with both the taste and portion size. The Room had twin beds plus a tatami sitting area, and the bath and toilet were separate, which made it feel very comfortable and spacious. The front desk staff were also very kind, which was wonderful. I’d like to stay here again when I visit my grandmother next time. Thank you very much.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Renewal Open on April 1, 2022! The Concept of Sakura no Sato La Foret Shobara

Shobara City in Hiroshima Prefecture is located right in the middle of the Chugoku region. It is situated in a nature-rich mountainous area and is home to many places where you can enjoy nature, such as the Bihoku Hillside National Government Park and the Hiba-Dogo-Taishaku Quasi-National Park. In spring, the cherry blossom spots, including Shobara Ueno Park (one of Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots), are beautiful. The breeze that passes through the mountains and highlands is refreshing in summer, the stunning autumn leaves are a feast for the eyes in fall, and the silver-white leisure activities in winter are enjoyable, making it a place where you can have wonderful experiences throughout the year. Sakura no Sato La Foret Shobara is located in a prime location, just a 3-minute drive from the highway interchange, up a hill from the city center of Shobara. At night, enjoy the open-air bath under the starry sky in the tranquil nature, savor the rich ingredients of the satoyama in your meals, and relax in the spacious Room.

Open-air bath, natural Onsen

One of the pleasures of Stays Laforet Shobara is the bath. We offer a variety of 16 types of baths, including open-air baths and large communal baths heated only with the onsen source, as well as jacuzzis and saunas. The usage hours for guests are from 15:00 to 23:00 and from 6:00 to 9:00. *This onsen is heated only with the onsen source and used in the large communal bath and open-air bath. Other baths use plain hot water. Chlorine-based agents are injected and circulated for filtration to maintain hygiene as a measure against Legionella bacteria. <Open-air Bath> Surrounded by greenery, the open-air bath offers a view of the Chugoku Mountains in the distance. At night, enjoy a relaxing time while gazing at the starry sky. The morning mist bath and evening mist bath each offer a different scenic open-air bath experience. <Large Communal Bath> The large communal bath also uses water heated from the onsen source, just like the open-air bath. Being in the forest, it features a spacious and open area with wide glass openings, offering a great view. You can relax and feel the changing seasons while soothing your body.

Comprehensive indoor and outdoor Facilities
