Around Karasuma Peninsula × Nature Experience AccommodationHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I had planned to visit Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei during Golden Week, but due to a typhoon I made a last-minute Reservation. There were no Reviews for this Hotel on YT’s site, so I was a little worried—but I was amazed when I arrived! A spacious, very clean Hotel exactly as shown in the photos!! Even someone like me who tends to look for flaws was impressed by the thoughtful attention to detail in so many ways. Since it’s an apartment-style Accommodation, you won’t run into staff, but they emailed me in advance with clear instructions on where the key would be (a lockbox with a code) and how to enter the Room, so check-in went smoothly. There is also a washing machine and kitchen. I requested “parking included,” but I wasn’t sure where to park. When I messaged them via LINE (also provided in advance), they replied immediately and it really helped. I wanted to keep this place as a hidden gem and didn’t want to write only good things, but their attentiveness was truly outstanding. (They even had welcome cup noodles—haha.) Thank you very much. I’d love to stay again.

Although we weren’t traveling for sightseeing, the house was very comfortable and easy to stay in. They responded immediately to our request for kitchen items, and our family was able to spend our time comfortably. There is no parking on-site, but we were able to use a nearby paid parking lot. The host’s warm hospitality made us very satisfied. Thank you very much!

Smooth handling of a same-day online reservation. The facility near Lake Biwa was clean and well-maintained, allowing for a pleasant stay. After a long journey by land from Kyushu, I was able to relax and feel rejuvenated at the accommodation. Thank you very much.

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.

Perhaps because we visited on a weekday, the baths were almost private, and we could relax and take our time. The meals were excellent in both portion size and taste, and they were served in a private room. Since we had children with us, we really appreciated that. The Hotel staff were all very kind, and we would love to stay here again when we visit Shiga.

Stayed with the no-meal plan. I had already checked in advance that there was no bath, so it wasn't an issue, and I fully enjoyed a visit to a super public bath. The room was decorated with figures from my favorite anime, which made me very excited. It was close to both the station and Lake Biwa, so I went for walks to various places. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making my stay enjoyable. Thank you very much!
