An amazing property with Michelin level meals, outstanding customer service from the staff, wonderful facilities and views. We will definitely be back here again in the future. This is an authentic onsen. The baths are amazing and the hotel also has pop ups that support local vendors.

Wow! Such an amazing stay! Great experience with a private onsen in front of the lake. The room was very beautiful Japanese styled, and super clean. The breakfast was one of the best we had!

Everything.The service provided is top notch even though we are using English as a medium of speak. The room is spacious and the bath provided is just so good. Since we're ordering Halal menu set, I would say the menu is fantastic as it includes seafood, beef and chicken which is hard to find for halal option here. The shuttle service also is quite helpful as there is no medium of transportation to the Ryoukan from the station and a mobile phone is provided to contact them at the station.

The staff were super friendly, service minded, and fairly comfortable with English. We had a room with our own outdoor bath which was amazing, and the room as a whole was spacious, clean, and filled with amenities. All the food was great. Overall had an amazing stay and me and me wife really felt like we were taken care of and spoiled.

The included breakfast and dinner was a delicious, visually amazing traditional Japanese spread. This place is a must for anyone wishing to get the authentic ryokan experience, though you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone a bit to wear the provided yukata and go to the public bath. Easy transit to Kyoto means you can stay outside the city on your visit.

Complete and plentiful breakfast. Although basically the same thing was repeated during the four days of stay. Very little variety. Nevertheless, the quality and presentation of the food was excellent.

We took a junior suite which had 2 single beds and 2 Japanese beds in a segregated section in the room. The room was lovely and the children delighted with their space. We paid extra for the breakfast and this was well worth while. Western and eastern options available. The common spaces downstairs were lovely with various traditional Japanese rooms and artefacts. Location wise, it is in a quiet street. Less than 10 min walk from metro options. Lots of restaurants in the area. The stand out feature were the staff there. They helped me with all sorts from train timetables, to restaurants, to laundry. They seemed to look to do everything they could for you, and then more.

A truly phenomenal experience that got us fully submerged us into the Japanese culture. The 19 century building is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, and having a view and access to a lovely garden is a very nice touch. The ryokan's staff is one of the highlights, everybody was always kind and professional, and we were personally supported by one of the kindest person we ever met - she made our stay not only comfortable but was very kind and shared with us many things about her culture and experience, even going out of her way and teaching us how to fold orizuru origami when she learnt we would be visiting Hiroshima after leaving Kyoto. Visiting the public baths was also a great experience. The kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast were also excellent.

What’s not to like… we had the best room in the ryokan, super spacious room, had a huge bathroom, shower and a private open air onsen. We had a living room and a bedroom, the space we had was probably bigger than our apartment back home! Dinner and breakfast was beautifully presented, I literally was so relaxed I lost myself there. Wish I booked it for more than one night!

I love that you provide halal food for both breakfast and dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed the spread! Love the small supermarket and yukata provided to us. Love the view of Lake Biwa from our room and the spaciousness of the room. We were delighted that there is a private onsen in the room too.

Check in was right on time and shuttle pickup was smooth- journey took about 5 min from ogotoonsen station. We requested for halal meals and were very pleased with the array of traditional Japanese cuisine for dinner and breakfast. The private bath in the room was great too with a beautiful view of the lake. We loved the tatami and futon prepared carefully and the facial wash, toner and moisturiser included in the toiletries 🥰

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.
