Nice hotel to stop by in Hikone ! As we are not used to it, we were surprised to see no bathroom in our room, i think we completely miss this info, but we understood quickly we'll had to go to the onsen to wash ! There was a weird smell in the room, and as well a bit noisy early mornings, but still it was comfy and we slept well. The staff was nice, especially at the restaurant during the Kaiseki dinner to present each food we'll have ! Thanks a lot !

Fantastic stay in this onsen style ryokan. Had a wonderful private onsen in our room, overlooking the river and the lake beyond. Can’t ask for a more perfect experience. Waking up early to soak in our private room onsen before dressing and heading down for the Japanese style breakfast included.

The meals were fabulous - beautifully prepared and delicious. This is a well maintained older traditional Japanese styled hotel with an excellent view of Lake Biwa and walking distance to Hikone Castle.

We had room with great view of Lake Biwa.
