Zeze Honmachi Station × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

I used the Club Lounge Plan on a solo trip. I’ve stayed at several Hotels with lounge Plans, but this one is truly special. It felt like a dream to enjoy champagne anytime at such a great sale price. From the welcome drink and fu-yaki rice crackers to the sweets box, everything served at each presentation was excellent. Since it was a weekday, the lounge was not crowded, and there were counter-style seats where I could sit alone, so I felt comfortable using it. The Room (AQUA) was also wonderful with its blue-themed design, and the bedside lamp was adorable. When I opened the Room door, there was a Lake Biwa view. The weather was perfect, and I spent hours just sitting on the couch and enjoying it. There is a large public bath, but the in-room bath was spacious and more than enough. I didn’t have a car, but it’s only two train stops from Kyoto. There is also Shuttle Service available, and if you go one stop on the Keihan Line, you can visit Mii-dera Temple to see National Treasures and various Buddhist statues. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I accidentally dropped my car key and was really panicked, but they sent it right away with just one phone call, which was a huge help. Great value for money, and it wasn’t as far from the station as I expected, so I’d definitely like to stay here again next time.

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 had a quiet and comfortable stay. The building and Facilities feel a bit dated, but everything was kept clean, and nothing bothered me except the bathtub creaking. Breakfast also offered a well-balanced selection, and I was satisfied. I’d like to stay again.

I’m a man. This was my first time staying at a capsule Hotel, and overall I’m glad I did, especially considering the price. I can’t speak for the women’s area, but in the men’s area the toilets, sinks, and showers are all in one Room, with only three of each, so it gets quite crowded in the morning. Still, given the price, it wasn’t a big issue for me. Also, bringing earplugs in advance really helped with snoring noise.

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.

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.

It was close to the station, quiet, and had a great selection of drinks, so I had a very comfortable stay.\nIf I visit Otsu again, I would like to stay here again.

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!

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.
