“A real Japanese experience :)”

The owner was really nice

Great place, not the best pillow, but the rest was great. Clean and comfortable. Had a good time staying at this lovely Ryokan.

Very authentic feel Communual bath can be locked for privacy Very friendly host

The owner was super kind and friendly, he even helped me carry my heavy suitcase upstairs and took me to the station! And the room is so good , they even got hot springs . I will definitely come back when I go back to Shiga again !

The traditional environment was great, the ones was a huge plus.

“Charming Ryokan”

A very traditional Ryokan needing some TLC. Perfect hot bath. Confortable futon. Asked for a kettle and received a thermos full of hot water and some tea.

“Nothing much surrounding.”

Value for money.

“Friendly staff but very noisey”

Pretty cheap

“Perfect location for visiting Hikone . Price in line with expectation and services provided. Typical old Japanese house”

“Worth it.”

We were upgraded to a bigger room and it was extremely spacious by Japanese standards. The house is pretty old and the stay was a time machine - 60s or 70s of last century. Tatami, art, shoji, woodwork, etc. You should go for it if you want to experience an old Japanese ryokan without breaking your bank account. Driving us to the train station was a nice touch. Paid breakfast was sufficient. A great traditional bath was a joy. No noise issues whatsoever.

“Very nice , the staff was caring and always there to help me . They even drive me to the station on my departure day.and”

The room, the bathroom it’s the onsen!

“Well worth a visit”

Easy access area with a very friendly and welcoming host. The ryokan had a very lovely and well kept onsen.

“Authentic Japanese experience”

This hotel is fantastic way beyond my expectations. I could live like a Japanese landlord 200 years ago.. the room where I slept it was not a room but a full apartment and it looked like a museum. Indeed, all furniture was 200 years old. The stuff was so kind so helpful they lended me for free a bicycle and even they gave a free lift to the railway station at the end of my stay. In front of the hotel, there is an old fish market so it’s an experience when you jump back into the time. I feel pity that I haven’t booked for more nights here , absolutely worth the price. And the extra is the two beautiful interior gardens What you can admire from your room. Don’t hesitate to book here!

Absolutely beautiful classic ryokan. Our room was a mini palace, delightfully decorated, with garden views. The host is very kind and welcoming and the location is within easy walking distance to the old town, many restaurants and Hikone Castle. A gem.

“Beautiful property, really comfortable environment”

Loved the rooms, really traditional feel to them. Even had complimentary green tea! There was also a private onsen/bath which was sooo nice after a long day of travelling

“Authentic Japanese stay”

Loved it…authentic Japanese ryokan. We stopped off in Hikone for one night just to stay at this ryokan, and do pleased that we did 😊. Going to Hikone castle was an added bonus.
