The Hotel staff were very courteous, and I had a pleasant stay. The grilled tilefish (Wakasa-yaki) was absolutely delicious.

With the gentle sound of waves in the background, we enjoyed delicious food while watching the sunset and had a wonderful time. The dinner course in particular was excellent, and we were very satisfied. The owner couple were also very welcoming, which made it easy to relax. We would love to stay again if we have the chance. Thank you very much.

Even though it was late at night, we were warmly welcomed after contacting in advance, which we truly appreciated. It might have been part of a special campaign, but the next morning when we departed, we received lacquered chopsticks from Obama as a gift. We were genuinely grateful and would love to stay again if given the chance.

We thoroughly enjoyed the full course of fugu dishes—they were absolutely delicious. We were told that you can’t see the fireworks unless you go all the way to the seaside, but after our meal we were so full we decided to watch from our Room. To our surprise, they were right in front of us, and we were completely satisfied without even going outside. As for souvenirs, we ended up with an entire lineup of canned mackerel, and we’re looking forward to savoring how good it is.

This Accommodation was located right in front of Lake Suigetsu. The staff, who were very knowledgeable about the local area, were a pleasure to talk to and provided great service, and the blackthroat seaperch and other local ingredients were truly delicious.

A hidden gem!! We stayed with our pet, and honestly, the Room was extremely clean. We stay with our pet about five times a year, and this place is truly spotless. The open grounds are spacious and refreshing, and in the morning and at night there’s a pleasant breeze. It’s also conveniently located near Lake Biwa and Wakasa, making it great for sightseeing.

My spouse and I stayed for one night while sightseeing around the Mikata Five Lakes. The Accommodation is on the shore of Lake Mikata, and the view from our Room was wonderful—the sunset was dazzling. Dinner featured a boat platter of sashimi that was more than enough for two, and it was fresh and delicious. The other dishes (corn sesame tofu, Wagyu beef, and a clam hot pot with salted butter, etc.) were also carefully prepared and beautifully seasoned, leaving us completely satisfied. Breakfast was delicious as well and very filling. It was also great to be able to see Lake Mikata from the bath. It’s just over a 10-minute drive to the Mikata Five Lakes Terrace, making this Accommodation highly recommended for trips to the Mikata Five Lakes or Wakasa Bay. We’d love to visit again during crab season someday.

Everything was perfect, beyond expectations. I was truly moved by the exceptional hospitality—it might be the first time I've experienced such flawless service. The appliances and items provided were clean and beautifully arranged, and the traditional crafts were deeply captivating. The open-air bath and stone sauna created a truly relaxing atmosphere. I also found it to be very cost-effective.

The machiya-style Accommodation was wonderful. The bathroom was clean and easy to use, and the bed was fluffy, so I slept very well. The sea is nearby, and the quiet, charming streetscape made it a relaxing place to stay. The stairs were steep and a little scary, but it also added to the machiya atmosphere, which I appreciated.
