A beautiful, well thought out space. An amazing location near Biwa lake, and an extremely considerate host. This will be our goto space anytime we're in Kyoto and our recommendation to others.

The shuttle bus between train station and hotel is a bonus, even though the hotel is only a short distance away. Room was clean and spacious and overlooked the lake which was fantastic. Breakfast was buffet style and variety was good. We enjoyed dinner at both the Italian and Teppanyaki restaurant. The onsen at night is spectacular overlooking the lake. We did not get the opportunity to explore the town in detail, as we spent a whole day at Biwako Valley. and would recommend a stay longer than the 2 nights we were there. The ferry ride around the lake is a must if you have a spare hour and my wife recommends the gift shop.

The place was incredibly peaceful. It's situated near Bodai Temple, and in the morning, I accompanied some people in their worship rituals at the temple. Experiencing this Japanese-style garden worship was truly a new and enriching experience for me.
