About a 10-minute walk from Nagahama Station — a Resort Hotel within walking distance
A spa resort where nature and the city meet, overlooking Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest lake. Conveniently located with easy access from central Osaka, Kyoto, and the Tokaido area, it is also an ideal base for exploring Nagahama, including Nagahama Castle, Kurokabe Square, and Hikone Castle Ruins. All guest rooms include lounge access with alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and light snacks. We recommend an all-inclusive stay that includes dinner and breakfast; drinks and snacks in the lounge; as well as access to the large public bath and activities. In addition to Nagahama-only experiences such as a Sengoku-era mystery-solving game themed around the Toyotomi clan, we also offer classic activities including a summer-only garden pool, table tennis, and board games. Enjoy a resort stay where you can fully indulge in sightseeing, Onsen bathing, and local cuisine.
I stayed here on a business trip.There were various comments in the Reviews, but overall I was very satisfied.There wasn’t any one standout feature, but everything was good overall.Next time, I’d like to stay here for a family trip!!
This was our second stay.Thank you very much for upgrading our Room this time!We were truly impressed by the wonderful Room.The views from the Room and the sky lounge were amazing, and the food was delicious—we enjoyed everything and made many great memories. Thank you again. We would definitely like to stay here again.(Someone slipped and fell because the rocks in the Onsen were slippery.)
