Gaten no Yado Hikone TS

Women are not allowed to stay overnight. The large public bath is for men only. Women can use the paid shower room in the first-floor restroom. TS stands for Truck Station. Due to the location, they don't sell beer or other alcohol, so you can't drink. Breakfast is complimentary, and towels were provided as amenities. In the middle of the night, the heating completely stopped, and there was no response when I tried to force it back on, so I spent the night in the freezing cold. I called, but no one answered, so I just endured it. It was a very valuable lesson.

I made a reservation for a room only stay. I had some trouble at the reception, but I managed to get the card key. The room was simple, with just a bed, desk, refrigerator, air conditioner, and TV. The Shinkansen often passes nearby, but it's only noisy at those times. It's fine at night. The bath isn't very clean.
