Enjoy a special holiday that refreshes both body and mind.
This was our second stay at Kamenoi Hotel Hikone.Just like last time, the staff were wonderful and the meals were delicious, so we chose to stay here again without hesitation.This time I was traveling with my 88-year-old mother. During dinner, she said the chair backrest hurt her bones, so I asked a staff member if we could borrow a cushion. They immediately brought us a large cushion, and after that my mother was able to comfortably enjoy about an hour and a half of dining.The dishes were served one after another at just the right timing while still warm, and everything was very delicious.The next morning, when we went to the Room for breakfast and gave our room number, I was surprised to see that last night’s cushion had already been placed on the chair backrest—it truly moved me.We enjoyed a delicious breakfast with gratitude for the staff’s thoughtful care.Thank you very much.
Yahoo!トラベルユー... 9/6/2026Although it was my first stay, the Facility was very clean, and I also liked that even though it was a twin-bed Room, you take off your shoes at the entrance. I was very satisfied with the meals as well. It made me want to stay at other Kamenoi Hotels.
