Very Spacious Units: The accommodations are incredibly roomy, offering plenty of space to relax. Private Parking & Garden: Having dedicated parking and a small, private garden attached to the unit is a fantastic convenience. Private Onsen: The inclusion of a private onsen is a standout feature, perfect for relaxation.

The rooms are nice and clean. The owner was very kind. The location worked great for me as I preferred a place further away from the crowds but easily connected to Kyoto.

The town was nice. Waterfront is pretty with water fountains at times with colours at night. Nearby places to walk in park, etc. The second room we were moved to was more like what was advertised.

The room was spacious for a family of 4 (2 adults, 1 toddler and 1 infant) with 2 large suitcases and a stroller. Washing machine and a balcony in the room was heaven for us as we washed clothes everyday. Neighbourhood was quiet but safe.

    Excellent ryokan stay near Lake Biwa! We had a private bath in our room which was lovely, and the room itself was spacious with a separate dining area which was very convenient. Provided toiletries were high quality and the ameneties bar was well-stocked. Staff were friendly and adept at using translation apps to speak with us as necessary. Whole area was quiet and overall a wonderful night spent.

    One of the best places we have stayed in Japan. This place was mostly out of reach from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto, yet close enough to many other overlooked attractions. The space was very well taken care of, and our hosts had top-notch hospitality. Special thanks to Sachiko-San who took the extra effort to speak with us in English and made us feel at home. Next time we might want to stay here longer to embrace the peace and tranquility of Otsu. Grateful for this stay!

    The guesthouse is beautifully decorated and mostly self-built by the host couple. They offered a free welcome drink and we could play pool for free. The rooms are anime themed which also was pretty cool. The host couple was very welcoming and helpful. They really went out of their way for us.
