Around Karasuma Peninsula × Ranking Of Accommodation With Signature Seafood CuisineHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

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.

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!

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.

I’ve been staying here for over 10 years. Since our child uses a wheelchair, we can’t use the large public bath, so we look for an Accommodation with a private bath/family bath. Chimatsu has an excellent private bath with an anteroom, which makes transfers to and from the wheelchair and helping with changing clothes very easy. Best of all, the private-bath slot is 60 minutes, so our family can bathe without watching the clock. There are small steps at Room entrances inside the building, but they’re manageable—we can carry our child in and out. The elevator is also spacious enough even with a wheelchair, so getting around isn’t a problem. The meals are delicious too. Every year we order the sashimi boat platter—it's impressive in size, yet each dish on it is delicate, and I highly recommend it for both presentation and taste! It’s even better when you enjoy Chimatsu’s original sake “Chimatsu” while eating the boat platter. The parking lot is large, and just across the road there’s a big AEON mall, which is convenient for quick shopping as well. When we travel home again next year, we’ll get off the expressway along the way and stop by.
