Very spacious and comfortable ryokan to stay. A lot of Japanese local food was served during dinner. We had very pleasant interaction with the two attendants that served our dinner. One lovely elder lady who tried to speak English to us and a younger lady that accompanies her; kept us entertained throughout dinner. Transportation provided to and from the nearest train station. Overall very nice stay. Also offer halal menu.

Our room was spacious with a good view of the lake. The 12 course meal was excellent, though too much to finish. The futon were a little hard and we missed having chairs to sit on. All in all, however, we found the hotel, food, and service tro be excellent.

Overall, lovely
Wonderful atmosphere and beautiful room. The hotel staff are very sweet but they can be quite obstrusive. I think it's cultural. You cannot miss the breakfast slot or they'll call your room and even come up personally to check on you if you miss their call. Overall, a lovely stay. Thank you!

This was by far THE WORST property I have ever stayed in. I understand I’m in a different country, but NO ONE spoke English not even a tad it was all hand gestures and that would have been ok if everything else wasn’t AWFUL. We checked in at 3 and were on top of hill with nothing surrounding and had been traveling all day. We wanted something to eat before dinner but NOTHING was open until 8pm. They had a gift shop in the lobby but it was mostly food items to take home, i opted for an ice cream. We went back to our room which was DISGUSTING i took pictures that i wish i could load because it was AWFUL we tried to get another room but again there was a language barrier. So 8pm rolls around and we’re ready for dinner... they served me a frozen pizza that was taken out of the wrapper and STILL cold, my husband got some sort on fish oh and we had bar nuts, our bill was 50$! You’re joking me, right !? I honestly cannot stress the fact of how AWFUL, GROSS and OUTDATED this hotel is. NEVER AGAIN

We had a private onsen but it was 'occupied' with green flying flies throughout the night, thus we did not have a chance to use it.

A nice day out
A 15 minute walk from the station. the hotel oversees the Biwako lake. The room is a bit small but sufficient for a night. the breakfast and dinner are satisfactory with local delicacy.
