Overall a fantastic Ryokan experience! Great friendly staff who were kind and helpful! Very clean. Not many options for lunch / dinner if you don’t pre book. Nearest shops/ restaurants are 20 min walk away. We paid extra for the hot spring and it was well worth it! Just gorgeous views.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. The hotel feels grand and worth the price. Room was spacious and comfortable. The onsen was amazing with multiple options such as a sauna room, an outside jacuzzi style onsen and the main inside onsen. The food provided (breakfast and dinner) was a traditional Japanese style multi course meal. Highly recommended! Room also had a lovely view of Lake Biwa and a comfortable outside bath.

The service was great! There's a dedicated phone at the station to call the hotel, and they picked me up in just five minutes from platform 4. The onsen view was just okay, and the hotel facilities are a bit old. The food, however, was pretty good.

The hotel environment is beautiful, and the rooms are spacious and very clean. The hot springs are incredibly comfortable. There's also a shuttle service available from the station to the hotel. The food is plentiful, and the explanations were very detailed (though you'll still need to translate any Japanese yourself 😝😅).

Gosh, where do I even begin? This stay was frankly perfect. The view was amazing, the open-air private bath was amazing, the service was amazing, the food provided was amazing. There’s even a shuttle bus from the nearby station. I loved it. My friends loved it. The staff even ran across the whole lobby lounge from the check-in counter, and did a full dive into the souvenir store counter for us. Most memorable icecream buying experience.
