We stayed as a family of four. As we were traveling with my elderly mother who has difficulty walking, the hotel kindly lent us a wheelchair. Everyone was very considerate and helpful. We wanted beds rather than futons, but many hotels only offer up to three beds per room, so we were debating booking two rooms or choosing a Japanese-Western style room where someone would sleep on a futon. This hotel had a four-bed room, which was a key reason we chose it. Before entering the room, I worried it might be cramped with the beds pushed together, but it was actually very spacious and impressively clean. The view from the room was also wonderful, and we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The building does feel a bit old, but considering the reasonable price, we felt it offered excellent value for money. The buffet meals were delicious with plenty of variety—especially the grilled seafood (hamayaki) and the DIY seafood rice bowl (kaisendon), which were outstanding. I would like to give full marks overall; however, there were some steps in certain areas that made it not fully barrier-free. The bathroom floor was slippery in places, there was only one handrail in the bath area, and when the men’s and women’s baths switched between night and morning, there were differences in amenities—having the same amenities available in both would have been better. For these reasons, I deducted some points. Overall, we were satisfied and would recommend this hotel to others.

You can see the ocean from the Room window. The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset. The Room has an interesting layout and includes a sink. There is also a terrace, so I spent a long time gazing at the sea while drinking coffee. Breakfast was very del

Dinner was very delicious. I wish breakfast had included items like an Onsen egg. The staff were also very friendly, and I would like to stay here again.

This property is in a wonderful location right in front of the sea. A walk along the shore before dinner was the best. Although it is in front of the swimming beach, it was quiet, and we really enjoyed the delicious meals.

This was our second stay, about three years since the last time. Due to the earthquake and other factors, it wasn’t very busy, but we decided that this was exactly the time to visit and stayed one night at Yume GingA for an early wedding anniversary. The conditions must have been just right, because there was a massive swarm of winged ants outside, which was awful. However, the food was delicious, the service was attentive, and we were very satisfied. The Onsen is also excellent. My wife even brought a star chart, but unfortunately we had to give up this time. On our departure as well, all the staff waved us off until we were out of sight—once again making it a place that leaves you thinking at the end that you want to come back.

I’d been wanting to go fishing and had been curious about this Accommodation for a while, so I was finally able to stay here. The building and facilities felt a bit aged overall, but that created a calm atmosphere where I could relax without any pretense. There was tea-scented incense in the room, which really impressed me. I thoroughly enjoyed fishing, and at both dinner and breakfast the staff kindly explained everything in detail—their thoughtful hospitality made it a warm and comfortable stay. The meals were excellent in both quantity and quality. I’d love to come back in another season to enjoy fishing, the Onsen, and the food again.

The meals were thoughtfully prepared and satisfying. There were several library rooms inside the Hotel with an extensive selection of manga magazines, collected volumes, and general books; I could immerse myself in reading while looking out at the ocean. “Chospo” (Choshi Sports)

This was our first stay with our family of four and our Toy Poodle. Some Reviews mentioned that the property is old or has an odor, but once we arrived, we found the staff’s service, the meals, and the Facility to be more than satisfactory. We would like to stay again. Thank you very much for everything.

I was amazed by the relaxed atmosphere of the Ryokan and the many delicious dishes—especially the abundance of fish—along with superb sake. The sunset and evening glow were incredibly beautiful and truly moving.

The staff were truly kind and fun, and we had a wonderful time! The meals were also absolutely delicious. Thank you so much!

This was a calm, relaxing Ryokan right in front of Lake Biwa. The three of us—my older sister, my 93-year-old mother, and I—stayed here to celebrate my mother’s birthday. All the staff were very kind, and above all, every meal was delicious and truly enjoyable. The amber tea sweets are Futabaso’s original specialty and were incredibly tasty. I wanted to buy some but had given up because there was no shop on-site. When I asked a staff member, they told me it could be ordered for delivery, and they kindly prepared it for us before we left—making it the perfect souvenir. It was such a comfortable Ryokan that it made me want to book a Multiple Night Stay. Thank you very much to all the staff.

We stayed here as a family to celebrate the reopening after renovation. In conclusion, it was an excellent value for money and we were very satisfied with our stay. The Facilities seem to have been renovated while making good use of the older features, and there was nothing that felt inconvenient due to age. The toilets have also been renewed and are clean. Amenities are well provided, and futon setup is self-service. There is no bath inside the building, but there is an Onsen Facility across the road on the opposite side. (Guests can use it free of charge.) For dinner, when we first sat down we thought, “Oh, maybe this is a bit small?” but fried dishes, grilled items, and dessert came out later and it ended up being a very generous meal. Rice and soup are self-serve with unlimited refills. Soft drinks are also unlimited at the drink bar—before we knew it, we were completely full. It was quiet at night as well and very comfortable to stay. Thank you very much.

The Room and Facility are slightly old, but the layout was satisfactory. The large public bath and breakfast buffet deserve five stars. It would be perfect if there were additional outlets on the side. Great value for money!

This was my first stay. The Hotel and Room were clean, and the bath area was spacious with a great Onsen. However, the dining hall staff seemed very busy and overwhelmed, so I rated the meals 4 stars. Other than that, I was satisfied. I would like to stay again.

We were completely satisfied with everything—the location, the Room size, the bath facilities, and how well-equipped the terrace was! This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again next time. The sunset was also truly beautiful, and it soothed both our body and mind.

We stayed as a family of five, and the hospitality was outstanding. Although they call it a welcome drink, the drink corner was available almost all day throughout our Hotel stay, and until dinner there was even unlimited sparkling wine. In addition to the dagashi (Japanese snack) buffet service and amenities such as lotion, they also offered rentals like a baby formula maker and board games—everything you could ask for. The manga corner wasn’t just about the number of volumes; it also had sofas and cozy hideaway-like spaces, so we spent blissful time there. There are sofa reading areas and kids’ spaces throughout the building, making it truly relaxing.\nThe breakfast and dinner buffets didn’t use luxury ingredients, but there were many delicious, well-thought-out dishes. Alcohol was also all-you-can-drink, and we could compare local sake varieties. The kids-only buffet area and automatic pancake oven were fun, and we also enjoyed local specialties such as hoto hot pot and Fujinomiya yakisoba.\nThere were many international guests as well, but plenty of multilingual signs were posted around the Hotel, and everyone followed Japanese manners, so there was no stress at all.\nBecause the building has some age to it, it had a Showa-retro feel; however, Facility such as the toilets were updated to modern models, so it didn’t bother us at all for a family trip.\nWe would love to come again with our whole family.

Dinner featured a luxurious platter of Ise lobster, golden eye snapper (kinmedai), and turban shell (sazae) – all absolutely delicious. The tuna sashimi was exceptional! The kinmedai rice dish was also delightful and very filling. Breakfast served in-room was equally satisfying.

We truly enjoyed time passing slowly and peacefully. Last time we had breakfast only, but this time we also had dinner; we were surprised by how much there was, but everything was delicious. Thank you very much. I don’t know when it will be next time, but when our family can all

The quiet atmosphere allowed me to relax. Since I was staying for work, I booked a single room, and the large desk was very helpful. I also appreciated being able to watch subscription services on the TV. However, I noticed there might not have been a clock in the room; if that's the case, having one would be convenient. The breakfast buffet seemed tailored for international guests, so it would be nice to have more Japanese-style dishes available. Unfortunately, I couldn't take advantage of the late check-out this time due to my schedule. Next time, I'd love to take my time and enjoy the art pieces displayed within the accommodation. Thank you very much!

We stayed for 4 nights. The Room was very spacious, with an unobstructed view—absolutely wonderful. Because there was a low table instead of a dining table, eating was a bit inconvenient, but it also made the Room feel even more open and airy. We planned to cook for ourselves, but it seems some Rooms have a small saucepan and others do not. We might have been able to borrow one if we asked, but we managed without it this time. (It would have been even better if plastic wrap had been provided.) One downside is that since it’s by the sea, the humidity is high, and because it faces west, laundry doesn’t dry easily. In that case, using the in-room clothes dryer in the bathroom worked well and dried everything nicely. Although our contact with Hotel staff was minimal, whenever we spoke to them they were attentive and considerate, which made our stay very comfortable. We would love to stay again for a Multiple Night Stay. Thank you very much for your hospitality!
