I didn't stay or eat there because I attended a meditation session, so I can't write about my impressions, but the location is great.Lake Biwa is right in front of you, so you can soak in Lake Biwa when you step outside. I went in June and September, and both times the weather was just right, not too hot, and the water was pleasant.

It's great for people who like seaside hut-like places.It was my favorite accommodation. This time, I came in with a cold body after enjoying 120% of the winter Biwa trout fishing with Biwa trout guide Sekine Maru, so although it was early, I was able to use the bath first. The bathtub was spacious and comfortable enough for three adults to soak in comfortably.After taking a bath, we laid down for a while in our room and took a break before having a meal. For my meal, I had ordered the gamecock hot pot for the first time, so I was curious, so I went to the dining room and was surprised by the ingredients on the table. ️The volume is amazing!! ️My husband recommended that I could eat it raw, so I decided to try it! ️I was surprised again👀!! ️It had a slight sweetness and the meat was tender and I was very satisfied. By the way, I had the Biwa trout I caught made into sashimi for free, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Biwa trout ("⌒∇⌒")It's a nostalgic guest house that reminds me of my childhood seaside school.They also sell a tent sauna, which they will prepare if you make a reservation in advance.Our room was a nice large room with a lake view.The host seemed very friendly and kind.I would like to stay here again next time and try the gamecock hotpot❗

We went to have BBQ!It was great that Lake Biwa was right next to it and the beach was well maintained. ️Since it started in the evening, we were able to bring our own fireworks, which was great.
