Fantastic stay in this onsen style ryokan. Had a wonderful private onsen in our room, overlooking the river and the lake beyond. Can’t ask for a more perfect experience. Waking up early to soak in our private room onsen before dressing and heading down for the Japanese style breakfast included.

My main memory will be about the dinner and breakfast. Both were phenomenal. A real experience. The only downsides were that the room felt a bit tired and the bathroom smelled of stagnant water and had some little bugs in the shower. The staff was super helpful and responsive.

Great hotel right at Lake Biwa. The included dinner and breakfast were amazing even for Japan standards (but the restaurant staff doesnt speak any English so have google translate ready... they were still friendly and did their best to understand). Its also quite far away from the station so be sure to use the free shuttle. We had the traditional room with tatami and futons which was neat, spacious and had a great view of the lake.

夕食、朝食とドリンクも含めて大変美味しくいただきました。それはもうお食事の時間中、ずっと驚きと感動の連続で、ご提供いただいたお食事の地域性、文化的な背景にまで想像が膨らむスーペリアルな経験でした。地元の食材を中心にされたお料理で、いままで口にしてきた食材が多いのですが、そのお味付けや食材の組み合わせなどが、どれも初めての体験で、関東とはまた違った食の文化を味わえました。スタッフの方にもご親切に説明いただき、食材などの背景もよく理解できました。得難い体験をしながら友人とリラックスした時間を過ごさせていただきありがとうございました。お風呂もとても良かったです。
