Breakfast was sumptuous and beautiful. Shabu shabu dinner, ordered after arriving, was excellent. The milk tofu and shashimi entrees were amazing, so were the meat and vegetables. We were very happy with the owner’s recommendation of the cruise to Chikubu island. The onsen was fabulous. Walking distance to the train station and many good restaurants in spite of being a small town. We enjoyed walking along the lake and listening to the waves. We would highly recommend this ryokan.

Everything about our stay is perfect. This Ryokan is full of character. Great hospitality from the owner - they are very friendly and made sure our stay was comfortable and provided good dinner recommendations. Having an onsen in the ryokan is a huge bonus - this is probably the highlight of our stay. Authentic Japanese breakfast served. The location is near the train station making sites around Lake Biwa accessible. We're so glad we stayed here.

I stayed here while biking around lake biwa. The dinner was delicious and the onsen felt great after a day of biking! The owner was kind and gifted me keychains and candy 🥹 Thank you very much 🙏
It's an old house so the walls are thin. If you're a light sleeper I recommend using earplugs!

Host was hospitable and friendly. Onsen usually closed in the morning but he offered to open upon request from 6am to 8am. Room was clean and spacious.
Pillow too flat. I have to fold it to rest more comfortably.

The host of the guesthouse was very kind, and the extra dinner we ordered—Wagyu sukiyaki—was incredibly delicious. I would definitely visit again if I have the chance!

Breakfast was great, it had a Japanese style public bath, location is close enough to a JR station.
Not much, it is a ryokan though, so disturbances from other guests may be audible in your room.
