Around Daigo-ji Temple (Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) × Stays Popular For SunsetsHot springHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

I stayed here twice a few years ago, and I was truly happy to be able to return after a long time. All of the staff were genuinely pleasant, and I had a very relaxing stay. In particular, thank you to Mr./Ms. H (I’m using an initial as I’m not sure if it’s okay to share the name) who assisted with my check-in. One thing only: I used FORNI for both dinner and breakfast. At dinner, my meat was upgraded, but I wasn’t asked about my preferred doneness. At breakfast, we were told it would be a choice of main dish plus a semi-buffet, but later we were informed that choosing the Japanese set would not include the semi-buffet, which was a bit disappointing. Even so, this is truly a wonderful Hotel. I look forward to visiting again.

This is a top-tier resort hotel that makes the most of its stunning lakeside location on Lake Biwa. I chose the plan with lounge access (breakfast service), and it was absolutely the right choice. This stay was for work, but if I have the chance, I’d like to choose the same plan again next time with my wife. During my stay, we were blessed with great weather and I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the lake. It even made me wonder if Oda Nobunaga once looked out on the same view from Azuchi Castle.
