When visiting Kyoto, we wanted to enjoy some time in an onsen resort so we decided to spend two nights in Ogoto Onsen. After checking the details in their website, we booked a ”Biwa no kaze”room with private onsen and view of Lake Biwako. And we were not disappointed. The room looks newly renovated, and is very spacious with two beds and sitting area plus a tatami room. They offer different dinner packages, and we have chosen crab with steak as the main dishes for the first night, and lobster with shabu-shabu the second night. The foods were of very high quality, tasted and looked very nice. The breakfast buffet was very good with a wide selection of different items. The ryokan is excellent in nearly all aspects. We would stay here again when we next visit Kyoto.

good environment The service was excellent I don’t know why the hot spring tax was not collected when checking out?? I have stayed in many hot spring hotels that charge hot spring tax!

I booked an executive room with an independent open hot spring and a halal menu. The spacious room has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake. The dinner is a lot of dishes and delicious! From steamed crabs to thinly sliced beef, you will definitely have a range of cuisines to choose from. I plan to do it again next winter.

I chose Daiwa because of its location is by the lake location and not too far away from Kurokabe distance. Daiwa is famous for good price performance ratio, meaning not expensive room rate yet providing quality room and service. The hotel lobby is grand, and you pick up the bathroom amenities at lobby yourselves. Check in was smooth but you have to bring your own luggage to your room. The hotel charge you Yen 500 for parking per night but give you Yen 500 voucher in return which you can spend in the hotel, not a bad deal. The hotel also provides a shuttle bus service to the Nagahama station for hotel guests if you are not driving. Even taking a taxi from the station to hotel is not more than 5 minutes. The station is just a few minutes walks to the famous Kurokabe Plaza and its surrounding waling streets. Yukata is available on each floor lobby where you pick your selection and size. We were allocated at the corner room which is very spacious, overlooking the lake and the pier, with windows on two sides, and therefore, very bright when the weather is sunny. We reserved a dinner in the booking with the hotel. The dinner is served in the function. It was a multi course dinner with various cooking method of Omi beef, including stew, hot pot and grill, plus a variety of other dishes such as sashimi. Server is very good and the staff are trying hard to communicate with us in English. The onsen on the ground floor is not very big, but the two nights we stayed are Friday and Saturday, so there were extremely many people. There is a souvenir shop which opens until 9pm, a bit early. After we checked out the hotel, we walked around the Nagahama Castle Park which is five minutes walk away from hotel. The castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the sixteen century but the current castle is a re-built. We dined at the hotel lobby tea lounge for lunch. But the meal was probably the worst meal I have ever had in Japan over the years. I think a tea should be fine with a good view of the lake. The location of the hotel, and the service quality makes an ideal choice when staying in Nagahama.

On the day of the fireworks festival in August, all the inn within walking distance of Nagahama station was full and stayed here. The purpose was not fireworks, but around the black wall, and I went out for dinner, but on the way back, the road was crowded with fireworks, and the taxi was not caught, and eventually, I sweated in the tropical night I arrived at the hotel on foot for 1 hours from the vicinity of the station. I think there is no sales point. I think the season fee of 9800 yen is beyond the category of business hotels, and the accommodation fee that usually hears around 6000 yen in the concentration of fireworks guests is 9800 yen with breakfast. Anyway, I think it is a hotel that is not suitable for sightseeing in the black wall district at least. The single room with double bed was renovated and large and comfortable, but when you pull out the key card, all power is out, so you can't keep the room cooled. Check out at 10 o'clock is also a business hotel. If you take a season fee, I would like you to remind me that you will take a shuttle bus to the station or at least when you go out, you will not be able to secure your return leg.

Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

Fantastic staff. Fantastic room. Fantastic views. Dinner and breakfast were outstanding. Private onsen in the room. The choice of food at breakfast was amazing. Check in is 3pm and they are strict on that. Arrived at 10am, and left our suitcases. In departure they processed the checkout in an instant.

I had two people with disabilities to stay in a barrier free room. The breakfast of the Viking is decided between 7:00 ～ 7:40, and it takes about 15 minutes to pick the ingredients with the handicapped person in one hand, and then the tray of the meal must be filled, and there is a limit In 40 minutes, it was a hurry and a squeeze. The family had to laugh, ”this is a bait...”. There was a dedicated stretcher to put the tray, but it was impossible to pass the passage and to pass the other guests. The barrier free room was too high to climb to the pedestal with a folding, and the small stand was provided instead of the step, but the stand was also with the caster When I got off, I put my weight on the platform and the platform slipped, and I just got my feet behind me. Oh, I thought it was only ”the feeling of doing” here. In addition, the liquidation was not in time at the store, and the line was not in time The game center is also powered off, and if you don't tell the front desk, you can't use the power supply unless you can turn it on... ”end center” It was easy to understand that there was no consideration at all where it was visible and did not appear on the surface. I'm sorry.

The condition of the facilities at the hot springs could not be described as good. Is it empty despite the coronavirus pandemic? As I expected, the place was crowded with locals coming in as well...it didn't feel like people were taking their time because they were worried about getting infected. Originally, this facility was known for its natural hot spring open-air bath and meals, but it did not have a good reputation.However, the annex building is nice and clean.The hot springs are hypotonic and slightly alkaline, so it is also called a hot spring for beautiful skin. It was Due to the seasonal nature of the season, it is best to check accommodations in advance before visiting.

I stayed this time for my mother's birthday celebration. The facilities and baths were very good, but unfortunately it was a request of my mother to eat a blue-necked makamo no nabe, but it was a little different from expectations 々. My mother from the local area was looking for a duck suki that I used to eat a lot, but ... I checked some other inns in advance, but there are many places where Omi beef sukiyaki and kaiseki dishes are sold. I like to eat Is it because the number of customers is less than in the past ... It may be related to recent price rises, duck capture and acquisition routes. However, I also liked the bath with a wide 々 that was delicious and all the food was finished. I can't forget the view from the window of the beautiful room.

Lake Biwa has been here before, so it is not on the lakeside, but I used this inn with a good evaluation of Cospa. There is no elevator in the building and the stairs are a bit steep. Clean Japanese modern room, Wi-Fi can be used in the room. I was happy to have a sofa chair. The bath is only an inner bath, so I also used the bath at the Yugenkan next door (600 yen for use). You will go to Yuyuankan and walk through the corridor on the lobby floor. The bath in Yuyuankan was large and very splendid and there were several types. There is a guide in the building so it is easy to understand. The garden open-air bath is a beautiful and elegant bath with waterfalls and moss. Also, from the open-air bath on the 11th floor, you can see the wonderful view of Lake Biwa overlooking 180 degrees. It was good that there was a washroom and a washroom area with a dryer in the open-air bath. The inner bath and open-air bath on the 8th floor were also large and good. I didn't enter, but there is a bath in one place later. If it is not a rainy day, I recommend using a bath in the sister house even if you pay 600 yen. Very clean bath area is also equipped with amenities, so I am especially happy for women. Well, it was dinner, but every item was delicious. The curry round fried and the scallops were especially delicious. It seemed a little unfortunate that there was no sashimi, but it was too much quantity and quality in any case. However, although it was a reasonable inn, alcohol was high in a luxury inn, and it was a little for us. The bottle of sake and shochu was from 3900 yen. If you offered 300cc of local sake at least 1000 yen, I think I tried various things (after all, I made it a shochu bottle that was not local sake). Breakfast was also a delicious Japanese food, rice, juice, etc. were Viking forms. No coffee (there was a paid coffee machine in the lobby). It is an inn with a reasonable price setting by omitting the service, but especially from the front desk male staff, I felt high hospitality. I was happy to be polite and kind.

The infection measures were also thorough. The staff was also efficient, and the hot springs were very good hot water. I was grateful to be able to take a bath 24 hours a day. I think the staff are also hard to prevent infection, but I'd like you to do your best in the future. The food was very delicious, and I was thrilled to have such a good hotel so close, and I was able to spend a relaxing time. Thank you very much. Also, I would love to hear from you.

The Japanese-style room with street view, the hot spring on the first floor, it is very comfortable, the second floor eats, breakfast and dinner are very rich, the level of cuisine matching is no less than the level of high-end Japanese restaurants in Kyoto! At dinner, there will be a waiter to help open the bed. I haven't slept in the same room with my parents for many years. I still slept on one bed when I was young, with three beds side by side, so warm. The hotel owner can speak some English, free pick-up and drop-off to JR Okoto Onsen Station and Hieizan Station, and free pick-up and drop-off to Hieisan Cable Car Station Close to Lake Biwa Harbor, opposite to Lake Biwa Hot Spring Park, you can enjoy the hot spring foot pool for free

There is a shuttle bus from Otsu to the hotel. You have to make an early phone reservation. The Japanese service has nothing to say. I have been on a business trip to Japan. This family trip, the breakfast and dinner are set. The variety is better. The victory is less. Haha.

This time, there was a situation ... Indoor bath, pet (dog), room meal, nearby hot spring inn or hotel that can be reached in a short time by car ... ”Kikunoya” was a hit. All the staff (including signboard dog, taro taro) love dogs and pets! I felt the cozy atmosphere, the feeling, and I was very satisfied with the attentive service, delicious food, hot springs and rooms. I stayed in ”Kono” in the room, but it was barrier-free, very clean, large, and the height of the sofa and bed was low and appropriate so that it was safe even if the dog jumped. It was very comfortable. Of course, the facilities for cage and other pets are also complete. I'm really glad I chose ”Kikunoya”. I also want to come to Oja. Thank you.

The location is along Route 1, so it's easy to find. However, the convenience store (Sebuile) is a little far on foot. You can go to the Ofuro Cafe next door from the hotel without having to go outside. Ofuro Cafe's popular play (Ohatsu) was really exciting. Recommended! The room is auto-locked and uses a card key, so the toilet and sink are outside the room (shared) so if you don't bring your card, you'll be locked out, so be careful! When I returned, the TV was turned off, which was quite annoying. Is it obvious? The rest is quiet and full. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of Japanese and Western options.

This is the second time visit here,There is a shuttle bus from train to hotel, the hotel facilities and services are perfect, the hot spring is great, the temperature is just right,Swimming pool is quite big,I must go again next time.Thankyou Mayumi Kiyu she try her best to helping me,is a nice lady=]and also Rai Rojina she is the one who can speak good english in the hotel,she helping me so much!! 第二次來這裡了，從火車到酒店有專車接送，酒店設施和服務都很完善，溫泉很棒，溫度剛剛好，游泳池挺大的，下次一定要再去 .謝謝Mayumi Kiyu，她盡力幫助我，是一位好員工=]還有Rai Rojina，她是酒店裡能說一口流利英語的人，她幫了我很多！！還有一位會說普通話的男孩，他非常有禮貌，努力的幫我翻譯,thanks!

Mr. Hamakozuki took care of me on November 21st. A very scenic room on the 3rd floor The open-air bath was big and big, so I could afford it. On this day, I went sightseeing in Hikone and took a large bath at check-in around 18:00, and the meal time and food were very delicious and I couldn't eat it. When the couple enjoyed a drink-loving meal, they received plenty of demon rocks. Is it okay for the demon to be so cheap? ?? Sake lovers were happy with delicious food and sake. Thank you for taking the steps to get breakfast earlier than usual. On the second day, I arrived in Kyoto before 9 am, and my travel bag went to the hotel from Princess counter Exploring Kyoto in a situation close to empty-handed, eating with a couple in Pontocho at night, drinking again On the 23rd of the 3rd day, I went to Kyoto again, Kinkakuji-Kitano Tenmangu-Yusai-tei-I finished my trip after seeing the light up of Tofukuji Temple at the end. Mr. Hamakozuki was the best inn after all Also, I think I will take care of you during the cherry blossom season.

Stayed one night on the way back from the Sanin region to Tokyo. It wasn't that this was our destination, it was because everything was just right and met the conditions, such as the distance during the trip, the location such as the distance from the interchange, and the budget. I didn't have any particular feelings about it, so I stayed without collecting information in advance, but in conclusion, it was an unexpectedly good inn. There seems to be a lot of bad reviews here. However, looking at the time of stay, it seems that there are many old ones. Also, I felt that reviews from people who stayed with pets tended to be more severe than people who stayed alone. The building is still fairly new and looks nicer inside than outside. It looks like it was renovated about 10 years ago. The rooms are relatively large with high ceilings, not luxurious by any means, but in excellent condition. Customer service was neither possible nor impossible. Insects seemed to come in even through the screen door, so it was written in the guest room that the window should not be opened. There is no particular scenery outside, and you can only see the surrounding mountains. The hot spring is a cold mineral spring that is heated and fed. There are clear hot water and dark brown cloudy hot water, but it seems that the color changes depending on the water level at which the source is the same. When I visited, the indoor bath was transparent, and the open-air bath with a roof was dark brown, but there was almost no smell in either. You can tell it's a mineral spring by the way it warms up. Dinner and breakfast are served at the restaurant. It's not a particularly special dish, but it's not badly seasoned and tastes good. However, the restaurant was clearly understaffed, and orders for drinks tended to arrive late. Other than eating and taking a bath, there are no particular incidental facilities. It was an inn that I can recommend to people who don't mind relaxing in the hot water and doing nothing.
