Really excellent place. Extremely friendly and helpful manager, speaks good English. Japanese-style vacation homes, fantastic location at the shore of lake Biwa (white coarse-sandy beach), with beautiful view of mountains too. No meals at this time of year (late October) and no restaurants or convenience store, but just 3 mins walk from Hira JR station, with restaurants near the next station, a 3-minutes train ride away, and 15 mins to a big supermarket. Hira Lakehouses is a great place for BBQ. Biwa Lake is crystal-clear and we even swam, but that is not for the faint-hearted at the end of October. We stayed two nights, very memorable.

This is my first time using it.It's very convenient because you can use the parking lot and shower and toilet before checking in! However, there is no supermarket nearby, so I recommend going to a big supermarket about 15-20 minutes away 😊 I felt like I came to visit my grandmother's house, which has a nice atmosphere, so I will definitely go again next year. I would like to have it! There were some small fish, so the kids seemed to be having fun holding their nets and baskets. Is it just the right place to jump into? I was very happy because I was able to order water skiing right next door! I think it's basically impossible for germaphobic people, but we really enjoyed it. Thank you for your kindness 😊 Fireworks can be enjoyed until 9pm!

Recommended for those who want to go to the Kansai area (Kyoto, Osaka, Shiga) for a day-trip barbecue without bringing anything!Originally, it was a lodging facility where one cottage was rented out, but starting in 2022, we will be able to rent out the facility as a one-day barbecue facility during the period of July to August, when we avoid the peak lodging season. there is.The other day, 18 people (9 children, 9 adults) used it as a day-trip barbecue facility.Many of these facilities sell barbecues that you can bring empty-handed, so you may not be able to enjoy the barbecue to your liking, but you are welcome to bring your own barbecue, so you can enjoy it with the ingredients that suit your tastes. can.I was also able to rent a portion of the property, which they kindly agreed to do, and I was able to have a very enjoyable time.I tried the pizza making experience as an option, and was surprised at how easy it was.I highly recommend the pizza making experience.It looks like they will continue to make it easier to have a variety of experiences, and I'm looking forward to seeing what new things I'll be able to do next time I go.The children had a blast trying out the "Molukku Experience", a Finnish game that was recently introduced on TV.There are many things to check at campgrounds and day-trip BBQ facilities, such as whether the kitchen, toilets, and other facilities are clean.This facility takes advantage of the facility's ability to rent out a single cottage, allowing you to rent the entire cottage and have a day-long barbecue.You can use the cottage's private kitchen, private toilet, and air-conditioned living room as much as you like.Very female-friendly.There's also a family-sized refrigerator, so you can store ice cream for summer barbecues!Children are also more satisfied!Highly recommended for families and groups as a day-trip barbecue place in the Kansai region (especially Kyoto, Osaka, and Shiga).As someone who loves barbecue and often organizes events, I'm very concerned about the weather when I'm having a barbecue with a large number of people.At this facility, it is also possible to set up a four-legged tarp in front of the cottage.Even if it rains, you can bring food grilled on the barbecue stove under the tarp into the cottage and eat it in the living room, and the great thing about it is that you can barbecue regardless of the weather, as long as it's not as strong as a typhoon!The cost of the one-day barbecue plan will vary slightly depending on how you use it, but there is no doubt that it will be a highly satisfying facility.As a rental property for normal use, it is a 10-minute walk from the beach of Lake Biwa for summer activities. Although the water is a little cold, I was told that I could play in Lake Biwa from late June or from September to early October.As a skier, I would like to enjoy skiing and snowboarding in 1 night and 2 days, although it is a little far from the Hokuriku area, Mino area, and Shinshu area, since it is less than 15 minutes by car to the foothills of Biwako Valley as a winter activity. It seems like it would be easy to use as a base for people who want to.There are many ways to use it in both summer and winter.I had a good experience, so I have written a lot about it, but I was satisfied with the facility.If you are looking for a group accommodation or barbecue facility in Shiga Prefecture, please visit us once.

I used the plan that included breakfast.Although the building is old, all the rooms were clean and we had a comfortable stay.I wasn't expecting much from the breakfast, but it was better than I expected, including fatty salted mackerel.Above all, the staff were very kind and I would like to use them again.They were very helpful, such as accommodating my breakfast location and carefully packing and shipping my forgotten items.

The room had a handmade feel\(●°ω°●)/However, I felt like I had come back home. I thought it was great to be able to relax. It didn't feel cold like a hotel, but it felt warm.I talked with my friend about wanting to go again and drove home.

A well-maintained cottage for rent. The only regret is that there is no wifi. This facility is available throughout the year.

I used it for cycling.It is located right next to Hira Station, has a large parking lot, and has a great view of the vast Lake Biwa in front of you.The building is a bit old and smelled musty at first.However, since each room has an air conditioner, you will soon forget about the musty smell.We had barbecue food on the terrace.It's not high quality meat, but the quantity is just right. Unfortunately, there weren't many vegetables.
