I stayed in a room with a sauna in the room!I had a really luxurious time ✨️The room was spacious and well-cleaned.For dinner, we mainly tried Omi beef, which was a little too greasy for me, but it was soft and delicious!Mr. Nakai and everyone else were so kind and I was glad I stayed here!I was also impressed by how delicious the rice was. lol

The hotel helped carry luggage to the room, which was very good service, but it only had indoor hot springs, which was a bit disappointing. …

I stayed here with my child.The inn had a baby plan, so we were able to rent out things like baby bathtubs, soap, and trash cans for diapers.Although the building, rooms, and public bath felt old, they seemed to be clean and well-maintained.I was very grateful to the Nakai-san for their very polite customer service.Dinner is a duck hotpot course. I was surprised by the duck and the large amount of green onions. It was very delicious, but I wish there were more ingredients other than green onions.After checking out, many people seem to go to the bakery run by Taneya across the street.

The temperature of the sauna is low, and the duck dish is quite unique.

I had planned to go to Kyoto, but since I was using a car, I decided to stay in Shiga.Although Kyoto is not nearby, you can park in front of the inn, and best of all, the Omi beef shabu-shabu was very delicious.It was the thickest and fluffiest shabu-shabu I've ever eaten, and even my young daughter ate it up.I don't have many opportunities to stay overnight, but if I have a meal-only plan, I'll definitely go again.There are no other impressions. I think everything other than the food was okay.
