Student? A large group of people occupied the main building's bath! In the washing room, the shower will come flying at you from behind, and the chairs you used will be left as they are! Even though he was making a lot of noise, I was unable to enter one of the two baths, which was completely surrounded by my friends.It was the worst.

I used it for a day trip bath, and the hot water was very good.The provided shampoo was good and didn't make my hair stiff.You can see Lake Biwa from the bath, so the bath feels spacious.There are hair dryers in the changing room, but there are no combs, so if you need one, you should bring your own.The downside is that the entrance is located around the building, making it difficult to locate the parking lot.

Lake Biwa is spreading out in front of you. There are tourist spots such as Metasequoia Avenue and Shirahige Shrine nearby, so it can be used as a lodging for sightseeing trips, as well as training camps for club activities and circles. The accommodation has a gymnasium, tennis court, and pool, and you can also have a barbecue. They also arrange the ground and gymnasium, which is convenient. It's a satisfying stay with lots of food.

Takashima City. We had dinner at Shirahamaso along Lake Biwa. Shiga's authentic kaiseki cuisine is definitely delicious. The facility was full of charm, including white fish tempura, wagyu beef, fish 🐟, mackerel sushi, bamboo shoots, and wild vegetables.You can also enjoy a large public bath. I hope you enjoy it!

It was used for a training camp with around 150 people.The food is not bad, the baths are decent, and there is Lake Biwa nearby, so the scenery is beautiful.Wouldn't it be perfect for use on school trips or groups?I think it's not good enough for personal use.

I used the hot springs for a day trip. I think I came in after cleaning, and I was surprised to see that there wasn't a single water stain on the mirror, and it was so clean.There is also a lakeside campsite, so we will use it again.

I used it as a participant in a group of over 200 people at a certain event. There is a gymnasium, so it seems more like a training camp than a high-class inn. Although some of the facilities are old, they are well maintained and kept clean, and the cleaning and bed making are thorough and thorough. I was also impressed by the staff's hospitality and everyone was smiling. The only thing I was dissatisfied with was that the food wasn't very good, and both quality and quantity were disappointing. I can't evaluate it because I don't know the cost because it's a company expense, but I don't think it's worth the cost performance unless it's a lot cheaper than other travel sites. I'm satisfied with everything except the food. The total rating is 3 stars.
