Giappone: hotel con spa nella provincia di Prefettura di Shiga

It was a great stay at this ryokan! The hotel is able to arrange a car to fetch you from the JR station. You can call them using a dedicated phone at the station which is used to contact the different ryokans. The car arrived in 10mins or so. The ride to the ryokan was also less than 10mins. The hotel also fetched us to the station on the last day of our stay. The ryokan itself is homely and cozy. We were greeted by an english speaking staff who introduced us to the amenities of the ryokan. There was also a nice welcome tea and matcha chocolate. Our bags were brought to our room as well during this time. The room is spacious and cozy. The hotel prepared 2 welcome biscuits in the room which was a nice personal touch. The room has a nice living room and a great view of Lake Biwa. Recommend to catch the sunrise over the lake! There are 2 normal beds as well as futon beds (need to set up yourself). Both are comfortable. The hotel also prepared pretty yukata for both female and male guests which you can wear during the stay. There are 4 different designs for ladies, and one design for the guys. You can request for different size if the one in the room doesn’t fit you. There is also a full length mirror and a mini dressing area at the side of the living room. It was fun dressing up in the yukata! The toilet, basin, shower and hot tub areas are all separate. The toilet is a little small, but the basin and mirror area is very spacious. The shower area is quite small as well and the shower head is rather low so you need to hold the shower head if you wish to wash up while standing. There is a small stool given for you to sit down though. The hot tub area is semi-outdoor and you can see Lake Biwa. But it is quite small (only good for one person). It was too cold so we didn’t use the hot tub. Instead, we booked the private onsen for 50mins. The private onsen has a private toilet and dressing area which is equipped with hairdryer, body lotion etc. There is a water dispenser as well if you need to hydrate yourself. The onsen area has a washing area, and the hot tub area is spacious for 2 person. There are privacy screens around the onsen area but there is a small gap to let in cold air for ventilation. Wish there is a good view from the private onsen but it was still enjoyable! Dinner and breakfast was Kaiseki style, and the meals were one of the highlights for my husband and I. We really enjoyed the courses which are clean tasting yet wholesome, fresh and flavourful. It was such a sumptuous treat! The ryokan also has a souvenir shop if you wish to buy anything back. Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed the stay here and we agreed this was one of the main highlights of our 12 days trip in Japan. Highly recommend!

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.

After a crowded Kyoto, I love the peaceful and tranquil environment of this beautiful onsen hotel-ryokan and charming castle town. Everything about the hotel speaks of relaxation and well-being. It's only a 7-8min walk away from Hikone Train Station but there is a hotel shuttle that leaves at 9, 10 and 11 am if you need a drop off. Pick up could probably be arranged too. The hotel offers a pretty outdoor terrace with Castle view, an on-site spa with massage, a library lounge with free drinks till 10pm, a foot reflex corner and a compact onsen with a silk bath (all with Castle view) and hot stone benches. I had the whole onsen to myself in the evening, so it was very relaxing. The staff are kind and lovely too, making an effort to explain all the services and amenities in English. The buffet breakfast was also one of the better ones I've seen in my trips to Japan. If you're visiting the Castle, the entrance road is right outside the hotel. The main castle road is about 5-10 min away but you will pass by a famous Japanese confectionery, Taneya and Club Harie. Their souvenirs are one that even the Japanese cherish. I would wish to come here again with my partner one day. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

We stayed one night at Biwako Grand Hotel Kyoomi and had a generally relaxing experience. The traditional tatami room was comfortable and suitable for staying with a young child. The hotel has a classic Japanese ryokan atmosphere, and the area near Lake Biwa is very peaceful. Staff were polite and helpful, and the shuttle service was convenient. Breakfast was simple but acceptable. One suggestion is that it would be appreciated if room arrangements could better match the photos shown on the booking page, as this would help set clearer expectations. Overall, a calm stay for travelers seeking a traditional experience.

La signora che ci ha mostrato nella nostra stanza era molto paziente, e il cibo era delizioso.

Il soggiorno è stato prenotato per esplorare le aree circostanti il lago Biwa. La ricezione è stata calda e amichevole con un ospite inglese che ci ha fornito le informazioni per il soggiorno. Abbiamo prenotato la stanza di stile occidentale, preferendo un bagno aderente, ma la stanza era obsoleti e necessita di riparazione, come le superfici di pellicola. La stanza di stile giapponese sembrava migliore quando abbiamo preso un occhio durante il check-out. La posizione e le strutture erano comunque grandi, e si trova vicino ai grandi centri alimentari e commerciali a breve distanza.

L'hotel è vicino alla stazione ferroviaria ma richiede 30 minuti a piedi. camminare verso i luoghi turistici popolari. La camera suona comoda ma il colazione è sovraccarico. Gli ospiti non hanno sconti per il parcheggio auto. L'hotel non ha nemmeno un bagno pubblico.

Very good hotel. Love the room and the hot spring area. Staff are very friendly. Just a comment on the food arrangement: suggest the hotel to contact the guest prior to the check-in on the dinner or breakfast arrangement and offer the choices.

A bit of a weird walk from the staion if you have bags to drag but otherwise perfect hotel! Nice breakfast as well, good curry rice.

La colazione è molto buona e anche l'esperienza delle terme è molto buona. Non c'era nessuno quando sono andato lì, era solo un charter. La posizione è proprio in riva al lago, comoda e tranquilla, c'è un 7-11 accanto, puoi fare dei semplici acquisti. La proprietaria dell'hotel è una nonna gentile e amabile, che può consigliarci attività locali in un inglese semplice. Le sono molto grato per essersi preso cura di lei per alcuni giorni.
