Sakamoto Hiei Yamaguchi Station × Accommodation Surrounded By GreeneryRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

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.

Located by Lake Biwa, "Komorebi" is a relaxing onsen ryokan. Enjoy the historic "Ogoto Onsen," with over 1200 years of history, at an affordable price. The adjacent sister property, "Yumotokan," features an open-air bath, spa, shop, and other facilities. Guests staying at Komorebi can freely use Yumotokan's facilities for an additional 700 yen (tax included). It's about a 20-minute train ride from Kyoto Station, and a shuttle service is available from Ogoto Onsen Station to the property, making it a convenient base for exploring Kyoto.

At the Property of Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei, it is just a 3-minute walk to the main hall. You can enjoy a tranquil and relaxing time in nature surrounded by Lake Biwa and Mount Hiei. From the special Japanese-Western style rooms, you can overlook Lake Biwa, and also enjoy this beautiful scenery from the spacious public bath. Additionally, you can savor coffee made with the delicious water of Mount Hiei at the café corner while admiring the view of Lake Biwa. Relish the vegetarian cuisine prepared without wasting ingredients.
