When I arrived at the hotel and was taking photos of the exterior of the hotel, he took my photo even though I didn't ask him to do anything.From check-in to explanation of the room, they were more thorough than any other hotel I've stayed at.The location of the room was good, the amenities were plentiful, and I had a comfortable stay.The breakfast had a lot of variety and was of high quality, so I ended up eating way too much.I regret that I could only stay for half a day, so I would definitely like to use it again when I come to Shiga again.Thank you for your hospitality!

2024.09.XXThe hotel opened on August 23, 2023.There is a main building and a villa.This time we stayed in a villa.I was supposed to see the deep red sunset reflected on Lake Biwa, but unfortunately I arrived after sunset.When you arrive at the hotel,A cart slightly larger than a golf cartThere will be transportation to and from the villa.Is it a resort feeling?It felt like I had traveled all the way to Okinawa.When I arrived at the roomThere are 6 beds in total and the room is unnecessarily spacious.What makes me happy isBeing able to have a relaxing meal in your room,Each room has an open-air hot spring bath with its own hot spring water.It's easy to get in at night and in the morning.However, from the open-air bath in the roomI am blindfolded and cannot see Lake Biwa.This is probably because it is visible from the Lake Biwa side due to its low location.The open-air bath in the large public bathIs there no administrator?There were bugs all over the place and no one was inside.The meal isEnjoy Omi beef shabu-shabu in your room.The best thing was the breakfast.I had a happy breakfast time while looking at Lake Biwa.Another impressive thing is thatThe manager is a jerk.On the way home, they waved loudly until I could no longer see the car.I was happy to see that the response was refreshing and unique to Japan.In conclusion, I thought it was a place to go with a large family or a large group.Was it different in the main building?Apparently pets are allowed!

I stayed in a dock villa with an open-air bath. I felt comfortable with the warm hospitality of the manager and other staff members. The breakfast buffet was also very delicious. The grass on 103 was growing and it would have been better if it had been cut a little more neatly and shorter.This time, I was looking for an inn with an open-air bath where I could stay with my dog. There were 4 beds, and since we were 2 people, we only used 2 of them. When booking a room like 103 for a small number of people, I would be very happy if there was a plan such as a small discount.I really liked it this time, so I would like to stay there in April.

I wanted to spend time on the shores of Lake Biwa to commemorate my birthday, so I chose this hotel with a view of Lake Biwa from the villa building.The villas are separated from each other, so I was able to spend a comfortable time without worrying about other people.The view from the terrace was also very good and it was a great memory.However, since it gets pitch dark at night, insects tend to come near you, so if you don't like insects, you may want to stay in the hotel building.During your stay, you can fully enjoy the lounge, hot springs, spa, and more within the hotel.Since I was traveling by train, I was very grateful that there was a shuttle service from Maibara Station.I had plans to go to an island in Lake Biwa, and it was helpful that Hikone Port was nearby.Next time I would like to visit during the marine sports season.
