Around Karasuma Peninsula × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

The Room was very clean, and I was able to stay comfortable throughout my entire visit. What I especially loved were the infinity pool and the sauna. With only seven Rooms available per day, it never felt crowded, and I could relax and enjoy them at a leisurely pace. The views were stunning, and you can truly experience an extraordinary escape from everyday life. The staff’s hospitality was also excellent, making my stay very pleasant. Breakfast was delicious, and the bar had a wonderful atmosphere as well. Being able to enjoy drinks slowly while taking in the view was particularly memorable. It’s not an inexpensive Accommodation, but considering the Facility offerings, meals, service, and views, I felt it was well worth the price. I would love to stay again.

We stayed here to celebrate a birthday. The sashimi came with daikon carved into a crane, and there was also sekihan (red rice). Everything looked beautiful and tasted great, leaving both our stomachs and hearts full. All of the staff were wonderful and very considerate, which made our time here truly enjoyable. Thank you very much.

The Ryokan offers excellent hospitality, a clean and beautiful interior, and courteous service, resulting in a very high level of overall satisfaction as a Ryokan. In addition, as a dog lover, I was deeply impressed by how they accommodated us when traveling with our dog and how they treat dogs with great care and respect rather than “just as dogs.” The Facilities and meals were excellent as expected, and the Onsen was also outstanding; it was our dog’s first Onsen experience, but we were extremely satisfied throughout. It even felt like our dog’s paw pads became softer and their coat improved, so the Onsen benefits seem truly wonderful.

I booked this Ryokan to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Since Yumotokan was over our budget, we stayed at Komorebi on Friday and Saturday (JPY 17,000 per person). We were really looking forward to the Onsen, and although it costs extra, we were very satisfied that for JPY 700 we could access the adjacent Yumotokan and enjoy an Onsen while looking out over Lake Biwa. The Onsen on the 11th floor in particular felt wonderfully open and bright—I felt so relaxed I could have dozed off. The meals were also luxurious, with steak and shabu-shabu. The eel takikomi rice was especially delicious. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time!

The meals were delicious, the room was clean, and baby food was available, so it was a wonderful ryokan! We’d love to stay again when we travel to Shiga!

The moderately American-style Room decor feels thoughtfully different from a typical Business Hotel. It was a new, clean Room. I was surprised that the bath and toilet were clearly separated. (The bathtub and shower felt like something you’d have at home.) The lighting in the Room is well designed, there are plenty of outlets, and it’s highly functional—overall, the hospitality far exceeded expectations for this price. Breakfast was also very satisfying in quality, and the other guests gave an elegant impression. There were a couple of moments when I noticed the soundproofing, but it was quiet at night.

We truly enjoyed an elegant time as a couple while traveling with our pet. The Accommodation Fee was higher because we had a pet, but staying at the Hotel we had long dreamed of was wonderful, and we made the happiest memories. Our Room had an open-air bath and a bathing tub for dogs as well, and after filling it with five buckets of Onsen water, our pet looked warm and very comfortable. Before going to bed, we soaked once more in the Room’s open-air bath while watching a subtitled foreign film on the Room’s TV through the glass window, enjoying an extraordinary sense of luxury. We also loved the meals—Japanese cuisine is our favorite—and we were both very satisfied. I hope to visit again someday, and next time I would definitely like to stay in the main building where dogs are not allowed—those lingering feelings remain with me. Thank you very much for all your thoughtful care during this trip.

Stayed again. I use it for work and meetings with clients. As before, it’s a Hotel located in a love hotel district, but the Room is spacious and the bed is large, so you can sleep comfortably and relax. Dinner is included, but unfortunately prices have gone up and more menu items now require an additional fee, which was unexpected. The Room also has internet access, making it convenient for work, and overall it’s a comfortable stay.

We chose this Accommodation because it offers views of Lake Biwa. The scenery throughout the property was exactly as shown in the photos on the website, and we were captivated by the refined design and attention to detail. We booked a Plan that included breakfast and dinner, and every dish made generous use of local ingredients and was truly delicious. We would love to return, and we would also like to recommend it to someone special. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

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.

Every year I stay here for my birthday, and thank you again this time for the flowers and celebratory message in my Room. I was truly delighted. As always, I was able to spend a wonderful, happy time. I am completely satisfied with the Hotel, the staff, and everything else. Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to visiting again next year.

The room was spacious and airy, with a relaxing view of Lake Biwa. The meals were absolutely delicious—wonderful overall. I’d love to stay again.

Many of the staff are from overseas, and I was truly impressed by how carefully and thoughtfully they worked. Both the Room and the bath were clean, and I felt they provided perfect service despite limited space, staffing, and pricing. The curry was delicious! Thank you very much!

It was truly wonderful. The service exceeded my expectations. Once the renovation of Konpon Chudo is complete, I will visit again.

I stayed in a room with a private hot spring. I was happy that the amenities were organic. The hot spring warmed me up gradually, which was great. However, the shower pressure was weak, so it took a long time to wash my hair. The room also had a great view. It would have been even better if the curtains were automatic. I only had breakfast, but there was plenty of fresh fruit and I was satisfied. Only one shuttle bus per hour is far too few.

We were very satisfied with our stay. Since one of us was pregnant, we asked to change the dinner menu, and they kindly accommodated our request, which was very helpful. However, it seemed to be stink bug season, and at night many of them were on the windows. For that reason, we recommend using the open-air bath in the morning.

The other day, I stayed at this hotel to attend “FEST.INAZUMA,” which was held nearby. As a foreigner, my Japanese is not very fluent, but all the staff kindly listened to my requests and provided a lot of support. On my last day after checkout, I was allowed to wait in the lobby for a while until my lost luggage arrived at the hotel. Even though I had already checked out, the staff were very considerate, and I truly appreciated it. The warm hospitality of the staff left a strong impression on me, and I would definitely like to stay here again if I have the opportunity. One request: it would be great if YouTube could be available on the in-room TV.

I visited my daughter’s family in Otsu City and stayed overnight. I was rushing to check in because we were going out for dinner, but the staff told me it was fine to do it later, so I left my luggage and headed out. Thanks to that, I was able to check in at a relaxed pace afterward and hear helpful tips about Otsu City. The receptionist’s love for Otsu was truly wonderful—I ended up taking a stroll around town the next day. The Accommodation is a detached house, and the appliances are simple yet refined—to be honest, without the instructions provided, I probably couldn’t have operated even the TV (lol). Still, it felt relaxing like coming back to my parents’ home, and I thoroughly enjoyed the carefully prepared breakfast the next morning. I’d love to stay again in one of your other buildings! And thank you very much for the sparkling wine as well!

At the time of Reservation for a Multiple Night Stay, the second night was in a different Room, but when we arrived we were told there had been a cancellation, so it was easy and convenient to stay in the same Room.

I stayed here for a reunion with old friends. The baths (including the open-air bath) were excellent, and the theater performance was wonderful. Above all, it was great to relax and take our time reminiscing about the past. Everything was thoroughly cleaned, so we had a very comfortable stay. I’d love to visit again and again. I’m already looking forward to the next performance.
