Luxurious Onsen Experience

I had an amazing time at the hotel's onsen! It was incredibly relaxing and spacious, which made it feel like a personal sanctuary even with many guests around. They provided refreshing complimentary drinks like tea and amazake that elevated the experience. The vibe was definitely modern and chic, which I loved. Overall, the onsen added a wonderful touch to my stay that I would recommend to anyone looking for relaxation!

Best Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet at the hotel was hands down the best I’ve had in Japan! There was an incredible variety of fresh dishes, and I was thrilled to discover options unique to this hotel that I hadn’t seen anywhere else. It was perfect for fueling up for a day of exploring. I truly appreciated the quality of the food and the view overlooking Lake Biwa while I enjoyed my meal!

I also loved the eco-friendly touches like bamboo toothbrushes provided in the room, showing the hotel’s commitment to the environment. The comfy setting definitely made for a memorable stay.

My stay at this resort was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making it a pleasant retreat. I loved the pool area, which was very well-maintained. However, the dining options, especially for breakfast, could use some improvement. Also, while the value for money is decent, it would have been nice if some amenities were included in the price.
