An Onsen Ryokan perched on a hill overlooking Lake Biwa, with the added convenience of being just about 20 minutes from Kyoto. Our top recommendation is a guest room with an open-air bath and sweeping views of Lake Biwa. Enjoy a blissful soak in a variety of tubs, including glossy enamel-style baths, wooden baths filled with the scent of timber, and gently rounded ceramic baths. In addition, the new Facility “Wayu Yamaboshi” has opened, offering easy ways to experience Japanese games and culture. This hands-on space blends tradition with fun to make your trip even more memorable.
