The son and mother running the guesthouse were wonderful. It's a beautiful location, and because it is fairly far from the station, the son picked us up in his van at the station. We did have to call him to get us (which we knew ahead of time), so it's important to have the capability to do so or otherwise arrange it with the guesthouse host. We thoroughly enjoyed the onsen at the hotel with included yukatas and our very spacious room (had a heater/AC as well!). The sheets and yukatas and towels were impeccably clean and pressed. The son and mother had a lovely cafe with free beverages downstairs, and they also had a wonderful breakfast we paid for in the morning. I feel this guesthouse is truly a hidden gem and highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Easily one of the best places I have stayed at in Japan. My husband and I were so charmed during the whole experience.

We like the Ryokan experience, the hotel is clean and many facilities are made available for guests to enjoy the Ryokan experience such as tatami floor no shoes, onsen, message chairs, ramen supper.
Featuring traditional Japanese hot springs known as ‘onsen’, these hotels allow you to take a relaxing soak in therapeutic geothermal waters. Traditionally, onsens were located outdoors but a number of hotels also offer indoor facilities for private or shared use. The healing properties of each onsen will vary depending on its location, with ‘kuroyu’ black water known for its positive effects on skin.
The staff were so incredibly helpful and friendly. Almost felt like royalty every time we arrived in the lobby.
The restaurant provided not just a meal, but an experience.
We stayed in a room with a private Onsen and it was such a joy to just dunk in sporadically through the day.
The process of getting picked up at the station was relatively easy and smooth
The room we booked is very lovely and clean
The staff are incredibly friendly and nice
The terrace and hot spring bath is very spacious
The view is so lovely on a clear day
The meals are so traditional and the experience is so wonderful
We only used the in-room onsen so cannot comment on the public ones
Overall it was an amazing experience
Amazing service. The hotel picked us up from the train station and also provided transportation to local sights. We enjoyed a variety of delicious food at dinner and breakfast. We really enjoyed the private onsen with view of Biwa Lake.
Lovely food, staff, baths, own private dining room, meticulous service and very clean area. I think it’s almost impossible to top in those regards. The room with its own hotspring was divine. The massage was excellent. Would recommend.
Room was really big with two bedrooms with two different sleeping options - futon or raised beds - outside private onsen was superb - public onsen was outstanding
We specially arranged the Ryokan experience for mum, we enjoyed the aircon room with bathroom and private onsen, we chose our Yukata and wore it for dinner and breakfast. Dinner was the highlight and it's sumptuous! It's contradictory to me that this nice Ryokan is run by bunch of young people when most of my Ryokan experience was interacting with elder.
All staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. There are both indoor and outdoor onsen. There are 2 outdoor onsen which change daily for female or male usage ( signs are in English as well as Japanese) Food is served in the restaurant and was delicious and wonderfully presented.
I have stayed at many ryokans and this was one of my best experiences.
Great location right next to the picturesque Biwa lake. The rooms were very clean and well maintained - beds and furniture were extremely comfortable. The amenities in the room were really great. Also, the hot springs were spectacular - extremely relaxing. Expert concierge (while checking in) & room making.
