"Love that this ryokan had halal meal options! The entire place is gorgeous with a beautiful view of Lake Biwa. Easy to get to (they have a shuttle bus from the train station). If you have a private onsen, just know that the shower is also outside. No other options, unless you use the public bath."

"Warm welcome, excellent service and fabulous onset. Highly recommend the resort for a truly traditional Japanese experience."

"Beautiful hotel right on the lake, easy to get to, staff were very attentive and curteous, and the private onsen room was spectacular. It was authentic and pristine. Very much enjoyed :)"

"Room was great and clean. Meal "

"LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!! Just a short 5 minute walk to the train station!! Area had good restaurants and little boutique shops, family mart right across the hotel and Don Quijote, huge grocery store, yummy bakery and Starbucks was right across the street. The only downfall was that nothing opened until 10am!! The room was small, but that was expected. The room I had reserved was for me only. I had a difficult time with their policy of not allowing my daughter to come up to the room with me to just relax for a bit and drop things off from our day of shopping and site seeing before going to dinner. She was not staying overnight any of the nights I was there. Otherwise, the stay was nice. "

"Nice hotel."

"We had a very nice, large, twin bedroom facing Lake Biwa. The room had a couch seating area and was still large enough for us to comfortably keep to big suitcases open in the room and easily get around. Breakfast service was good, with a variety of Japanese and Western dishes available. We also used the Club Lounge in the afternoons for tea and in the evenings for drinks and canapés. The staff were excellent, very friendly and professional. The hotel provides shuttle bus service to & from Otsu station plus there is a local tram line within a 5 min walk. The Lake Biwa cruise boat dock is within easy walking distance. "

"Good and easy check in"

"Bedroom and washroom were spacious, clean and looked new. Amenities were great. The hotel has a wide range of facilities, including a planetarium, which we really enjoyed. We had a great time. "
