Hotel vicino a Tempio Ishiyamadera, Ōtsu

The location is very quiet and calm. For those who want a break from the main cities this place is highly recommended. The hotel picked us up from the nearby station and the communication was very active and accommodating (I emailed them when we were in Kyoto station in advanced and once we reached the local station, their shuttle was already waiting for us 🥹). Biwako Valley is near so it was our only planned big activity in the area aside from walking along the quiet road and trying convenience store food and using the 24 hour laundry place nearby. The food is very healthy and you will experience traditional Japanese service (they prepared colorful Yukatas for us and we wore them for bfast and dinner in their restaurant) . The private onsen was great and you can also use the public bath in the hotel itself. I cannot list everything but our experience here was truly amazing!

La stanza era molto buona. La notte pubblica era buona; l'acqua non era così calda e originale. La selezione del colazione era buona, può essere migliore e avere più selezione diversa dai marini. La cena era magnifica! L'unica cosa mancava è la posizione. Non c'era altro che un bagno a piedi/mano, un orario felice.

Room is very spacious, comes with 2 sets of facial acre products both for man and woman There's even a 6 CD player with preloaded CDs inside ranging from Jazz to sentimental songs for your relaxation Food are delicious and nicely decorated Every day it comes with some free local snacks like financiers and biscuits One incident that didn't quite went well is early morning after breakfast As we are rushing to head out before housekeeping and there's no more water in the room, we return to the dinning hall and try to ask the staff to help to fill up some water in their provided water bottle. one lady took over the bottle and head to the kitchen to fill up, but we can hear she's complaining to her colleagues about it. Shortly, while handing over the bottle, she signal us to leave. We did so but once just stepped out, she simply slams the dinning hall shut! I was surprised by her reaction. It was quite rude of her to do that. If it's against the regulation, they can rightly say so and communicate upfront than doing this repulsive reaction Overall, a nice stay amid a slight mark on the service rendered

Camera spaziosa e pulita, letti comodi e splendida vista sul lago, personale gentile e amichevole, ottima colazione a buffet, comodo parcheggio privato gratuito, onsen in loco, torneremo sicuramente.

Finora è il miglior hotel business per me. Tuttavia, ho visitato altre catene che offrono un po' più di comfort. Ciononostante, ho comunque apprezzato il mio soggiorno grazie al servizio attento di tutto il personale. Anche le camere sono pulite.

Ottima vista e ottimi servizi. Cena e colazione fantastiche. Vale il prezzo pagato!

J'ai pris la chambre VIP elle est très grande. Elle ressemble au ryokan traditionnel. Superbe! Avoir le onsen dans la chambre c'est aussi super franchement. J'ai adoré mon séjour ici. C'est très reposant, la vue sur le lac est juste magnifique. Comme je suis à Kyoto les prochains jours, je reviendrai pour une nuit pour profiter encore du onsen et de la vue magnifique sur le lac biwa.

Questo è un hotel di gioiello, molto bello vicino alla stazione, a basso prezzo, ma le strutture sono buone, le strutture sono anche molto ricche, senza lamentele. Ogni volta che aprite e chiudete la porta dell'area dell'hotel, la voce sarà molto alta. Mi sveglio presto mattina e non posso dormire. La voce è molto alta, quindi spero che tu installi un cappello sulla porta.Solo questo è un problema. Anche al caffè vicino al mattino è molto serio, il prezzo è 500 yen, ma quando lo chiedo stamattina, mi sono chiesto ”Hai prenotato una stanza?” Non l'ho fatto, ma non c'è problema, perché è pronto, ma se dici una parola durante la procedura di imbarco, saro'grato.

I dipendenti dell'hotel sono entusiasti, la camera è spaziosa e luminosa e un piccolo cortile indipendente.Ci sono molti santuari e tempeste intorno all'hotel. È possibile raggiungere a piedi, il clima culturale è forte e l'esperienza è piena.

Ok. First of all leave your expectations at home expecting hotel level service. Once you've done that if you want a cheap but clean place to stay this is it. This is a seinenkan - a facility for youth and youth-related organizations to conduct independent study and recreational activities, many of which have basic accommodation facilities but higher grade facilities than youth hostels. They are located all over Japan. I stayed in a tatami mat room on a floor with shared toilet facilities. The ground floor has a large communal bath - obviously separate for male and females. They have lights out at 11 p.m. and guests must return by the same time. There is a very modern cafe onsite serving cheap breakfasts (see photos) but the cafe closes by 6 p.m. There is a convenience store 10 minutes walk away so I suggest you buy snacks and beverages en route from JR Ishiyama station. For dinner, there is a family restaurant - good value and okay food - about 6 minutes walk away. The seinenkan is located on a small island by a historic bridge. The views of the river inlet flowing into the main Lake Biwa is relaxing, lots of bird wildlife, and lots of rowers (the seinenkan is a water sports facility too). and the sunrise and sunset views are lovely. The staff are very kind. It cost me ¥5,500 for one night and I will stay there again if I have the opportunity.
