My husband has asked me this many times over the past 20 years, and he says, ``It's just fine!'' ! ” I have high expectations.Unfortunately, due to a sudden illness, I will not be able to visit you today, but I will be in good health at a later date, so I look forward to your continued support.

It is a place where you can enjoy sophisticated and delicious meals while immersing yourself in nature. Even if you come here for casual hospitality, you will feel comfortable. In the summer, you can watch fireflies, and this is the best place to go if you want to relax. Although we encountered some rain this time, we were able to relax in the hot springs and heal our fatigue. It was a luxurious time as we could approach not only Shiga Kogen but also Yudanaka Onsen, Kusatsu, Manza, Kiriake and Yamada Farm. thank you very much.

Visit in September. Fireflies were still flying and we could see them.The Western food was delicious. Breakfast consisted of bread, but rice was also available upon request. The water was good and the rice was delicious too, so don't forget.Free tea, tea, and coffee in the lounge. The self-service wine and sake vending machine system is also interesting. Efforts have been made to prevent you from being locked in your room.Although the building is old, it has been properly renovated and the staff are young, so it doesn't feel gloomy. I think it's good as an affordable accommodation.The bath is a simple, soft hot spring made with boiling river water that contains natural hot spring ingredients, but it's free flowing.It's a little disappointing that the staff sometimes places the spoons in the opposite direction. It is better to improve the areas that can be improved without additional cost.Although it was a snowless season, the slope in front of the inn was quite difficult to climb with a light car.

20170902?Genji Firefly? Madam and I came to this lodge about 470km away by Shinkansen to see it. We stayed with 3 people, but were we lucky with the rain? It was a shame that I could only meet 3 or 4 of the fireflies. However, thanks to the arrangement of the lodge owner, we were provided with a wonderful meal and left the lodge satisfied.

I stayed here for the purpose of observing fireflies and stars. There is no elevator, so it may be difficult for people with bad legs. The staff's response was good. I was disappointed that the fireflies weren't flying as much as I expected, but it can't be helped since it's a natural phenomenon, but I'm glad I got to see the Milky Way. The meal was delicious. There is no air conditioner in the room, so it was a bit hot after taking a bath in the middle of summer.

I visited in early August.The entrance to Firefly Park is next to the lodge, and we took a walk around it from 8:00 PM after dinner. Although it seemed like the heyday had passed, we were still able to see fireflies.There are minimal footlights for the fireflies, so it's pitch black. I went to preview it while it was still bright and it was the right decision! The starry sky was so beautiful because it was pitch black, and I even saw shooting stars 💫It was wonderful to enjoy the meal while enjoying the lush green scenery thanks to the glass wall.

I was thrilled to see more fireflies than I expected. I plan to come to this area again next year to see fireflies.

I stayed alone on a beach day.【meal】Very delicious. For dinner, the next plate is served as soon as you finish one plate. Roast beef is perfectly warm! (*Even in first-class hotels, there are places that serve cold roast beef, so it's nice to have it warm.)【Facility】The building itself is old, but it has been renovated and is comfortable.[Bath]At this time of year, I alternate between hot springs and cold baths, feeling like a perpetual motion machine👍【others】It's been a long time since I saw fireflies. It's a feast for the eyes.It is surrounded by a deciduous forest.Next time I want to come during the autumn leaves season.
