The food was absolutely delicious.I don't think you can eat such delicious Korean food anywhere else.Both dinner and breakfast were so delicious that I will never forget them.Although the building is old, it is kept clean. It was beautifully painted.The service was also comfortable.The bath is a hot spring.It gets cold at night, but after taking a bath, I surprisingly didn't feel cold.Also, my skin seems smoother after the bath.Chickens roam around the premises.It's pet friendly, so I'm happy to be able to spend time with my dog.I would like to go again.I recommend it.

This is a homely pension that has been carefully maintained by a friendly owner and his wife. Our dog was also relaxing and sleeping soundly through the night. The Korean food was great and healthy with plenty of vegetables❗️And the hot bath was also great.

Second visit. This time I stayed at a training camp with friends. On the first day, I jogged around Makino. On the second day, we crossed Kurokawa Pass and went back and forth to Tsuruga. We had a great time. It looks like I can make a lot of different courses, so I'm planning another one!

I stayed with my dog at the end of the year on December 30th.It was snowing so we couldn't use the dock run, but the room was warm with floor heating.Dinner was an authentic bibimbap rice bowl made by his wife, filled with Omi beef, which was hot and warmed my body.The hot spring bath warmed me from the core of my body, and I felt warm when I returned to my room.When I woke up in the morning, it was snowing again and my dog seemed to be having fun.Breakfast was delicious with five-grain rice and homemade smoked salmon.Thank you to both my wife and husband for speaking to me so kindly.Next time I'll visit when it's warmer, like in the summer.

Even in Shiga Prefecture, you can stay with your pet, have meals, and have a natural hot spring, which was great.The pension itself is a cute building, and the surrounding nature is very nice, so I had a lot of fun playing with my dog at the dog run and the river in front of it.As for the rice, Mom's Korean cooking was really delicious and the portions were huge.I had a great time and enjoyed talking with my mom.I was very grateful that the bath in the pansion was a hot spring and I could stay with my pet.Namiki-dori and the roadside station were also nice.I'll have you drop by again♪

Dog-friendly hot spring pension.The room is small, but it's homey and you can enjoy the home-cooked meals made by the Korean wife.Mr. Oku is in charge of the interior design, and it's quite cute.
