Shibu Onsen is a little peaceful town about 45 minutes from Nagano by train. This place is far different from the hustling bustling Tokyo, in here the town only have roughly couple thousands people and very famous with their public baths and also visiting Snow Monkey Park is highly recommended if you stay here.
