I made a reservation on short notice and stayed here during a solo bike touring trip during Golden Week! The host was very kind, the room was well-cleaned, and it was very quiet and I was able to spend a relaxing time there.I really liked the hot springs, and the quality of the hot springs was so good that I ended up going in four times in one night! My days were busy with work, but I was able to take a bath in this hot spring, lie down in a quiet room, reflect on myself, and slowly think about life...I had such a meaningful time!The next day, after taking a morning bath, we took a bike ride through Shiga Kogen, Kusatsu, and Numata, making it a great touring trip! I would like to stay at this inn with excellent access to Shiga Kogen again!

Beautiful traditional Ryokan to immerse yourself in a Onsen village. The owner is very kind, informative and helpful.

Located close to the train station, this hotel offers an authentic ryokan experience with excellent service. The hotel manager provided detailed information on local attractions, ensured the billing was accurate (at his expense), and helped bring my luggage to the room before check-in.The hotel also offers a greater degree of privacy than others in my experience, and the the 24h onsen was underutilized to the point of being a private bath. While the cedar bathtub is beginning to show signs of dilapidation, I found it to have a certain rustic charm.I would recommend this as a solid budget choice for solo travelers.
