Beautiful Ryokan!”
My husband and I were surprised to discover a flip phone at the train station where you could call for the ryokan pick up for free! The Ryokan is about 10 minutes drive away and the service was excellent from the moment we were picked up at the station, to the moment we were dropped off at the station after our stay. The ryokan has many facilities and the view was fantastic. We would love to go back again!

Day trip from Kyoto ”
We booked a room with the open air bath and it was pretty incredible. The water was amazing and the views were gorgeous. We even got up early for an early soak to watch the sun come up over the mountains. We didn't book a dinner in time (my fault) but the breakfast we did have was incredibly tasty and varied. It's a quick 20 minutes from Kyoto Station and definitely worth a trip.

Ideal for family or couples”
Large and comfortable room size with beautiful lake view. You can enjoy private onsen at the balcony day or night. Meals and services were served in good quality, but the environment was a bit noisy.

Comfortable and nice hotel”
The private out door onsen in the room is spectacular, with the lake view, its so relaxing, and the hotel staff is helpful and polite. I tried the breakfast provided by the hotel, it’s special and delicious. I sincerely recommend the deluxe room type which include the private onsen, its 100% worth! The best experience in Japanese ryokan(hotel).

Good spot to view Lake Biwako”
Great spot to view the lake, the food is superb, room feels very comfy. However seems far from scenery spots in Biwako (~ 40mins+ drive) but understandable since Biwako is very large.

Ryokan with a good garden and a good service.”
I used an room with open-air bath, and the overall facility was very satisfactory. Especially the clean and tidy interior was comfortable, and the dinner menu was excellent. This is Ryokan I would like to recommend.

Quiet Ryokan only a little away from Osaka”
This ryokan is not too far from Osaka and there's Cup Noodles Museum(Ikeda) in between the destination and shuttle service. The facility is bit old but the kaiseki and breakfast buffet were superb. I still enjoyed my room with the open bath and would visit again. While I did try other ones, this is on my return list. The staff were super nice with a good selection of yukatas and they would help you put it on too. Overall great balance of pricing, food, facility, and service. P.S. There's a cute temple to explore nearby.

Very nice onsen and superb dinner”
The staff are very helpful. Although the hotel is not near JR station, hotel offers shuttle bus to station whenever you want before 8pm. That makes everything so convenient. The food is amazing. There is no repeated menu for my 4 nights staying. The onsen is wonderful too... they offer indoor and also outdoor hot springs. Everything is so clean and well maintained. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to visit Biwako.

View from the room is not quite a lake view. Since the room also faces the opposite building. Most of the time you need to close the curtain.

No kids arrangement at all”
I don’t understand why that I have submitted all details of my kids including name and age at booking but the hotel is not providing us with kids menu. And the dinner menu provided to my kids are same with all adult which included sashimi dishes. I believe they charged my kids with adult price! It’s the fault of Agoda or the hotel, I don’t know!!! But I’m upset with this!!!

Enjoyable stay”
Tasty kaiseki dinner and breakfast buffet. Spacious room with a private open-air onsen. Valued for money. Only drawback was a huge cockroach welcoming us near the onsen. The staff cleaned it immediately after we reported.
