最高でした。誰にも教えたくない。”
Good location. From the terrace, you can see Okishima on the opposite bank. 3 minutes walk to the beach. Room with a beautiful shared bath. There is a wooden deck in the shared bath, so you can enjoy the sun while listening to the voice of wild birds. You can freely use tableware and seasonings for cooking utensils. The water seems to be well water, so I could drink it deliciously even when I brought it home. Soft water? It is good water. It's okay to come and relax during the off-season. I want you to do your best without hitting the Corona depression. Thank you very much.

Relax in the nature, away from tourists.”
This is good quit place to relax after kyoto sightseeing. It is close to a beach. You have better to go to super market before coming here. There are not stores around this area.

One of the best hostel in Otsu!”
Staffs were extremely friendly and they can converse in English really well. They even offered us a ride at night to the convenience store since there was not restaurant nearby but we rejected it because the hostel itself already had cup noodles and stuff for us to buy and cook. In the morning after our check out, one of the staff fetched us to the station because it was drizzling at that time. Extremely satisfied with the service and friendliness. Room was clean and fine. A lot of facilities to use. You got to pay for towels but it is understandable because it is a hostel. The only downside is the location. It is located around 10-15mins walk from the Omi-Maiko Station. So it was pretty isolated. The nearest cafe (R cafe) was under renovation. So, no cafe or convenience store nearby. But they are going to open a new restaurant this year so it is going to be awesome! If you want to go any place, you can rent the bicycle provided by the hostel for a fee.

Thank you very much for staying with us and your kind review! We are glad to hear how you felt. If you have a chance, please come back in summer. The beach is just 3 min walk from our hostel and it is very beautiful. We look forward to seeing you again :)
Great place to be social or when coming with a group!”
Although we were here for less than 12 hours, we really enjoyed our stay and are already planning our next visit! The staff were super friendly and accommodating from the beginning (speaking fluent English as well). The facilities were phenomenal, including an awesome outdoor bbq area, lively common room fully stocked with tea and food prep facilities, books everywhere to read, outdoor activities to join, etc! And the food - wow! Definitely invest the 1000 Yen for dinner. Breakfast was healthy in both content and proportion, too. Wish we could have had more time here! We will definitely be back.

Thank you very much for your stay and review! We are glad to know that you had a pleasant stay. Look forward to welcoming you gain! You also can enjoy water activities in summer ;)
Commendable place to stay”
The guesthouse is just 1 minute walk to the beach. It has a wide parking space and 2 tennis courts. Although it has a common toilet and shower, they're all very clean and neat. You can opt to go to the indoor sauna either morning or evening. It has a common area suitable for groups. There's a nearby restaurant for dog lovers. For suggestions, (1) a shuttle service from the train station to the guesthouse will be appreciated because it'll take you approx 30min by foot, (2) add some rooms with own toilet and bath.

Thank you very much for your stay. It takes only 15 mins walk from the station but probably feel a bit longer with luggage. We hope that you had a good time here in the Japanese countryside.
Excellent staff, great place to stay around Lake Biwa”
The path to the hotel from the nearest densha station (Omi-maiko) didn't have streetlight and it's get really dark during night time. We checked-in at around 8pm and didn't our dinner yet. So, when we ask for the nearest convenient store, they told us it's quite some distance and provided transportation for us with FOC!!! Same thing went on check-out day, they carried us and our bulky luggage to the densha station after checked-out. It's such a fantastic experience with them and definitely recommend this hotel. Lastly almost forget, spacious tatami floor room with excellent Lake Biwa view from balcony.

Thank you very much for your stay! We hope that you had a great time in Shiga, and enjoyed autumn leaves. If you have a chance to come back, you are very welcome :) We look forward to seeing you and talking with you again.
Hmm”
Location is great being close to the lake but beware you have a long walk from the train station along an unlit road if you happen to arrive by train after sunset. Shared facilities were clean. They remind guests to keep it down because noise does travel far. Reception on arrival was lukewarm although the other one was much friendlier.

食堂のご飯が美味しい！ ビワイチ前乗りにおススメ”
ビワイチの前乗りで使いました。 6人部屋で、私以外は外国の方でしたが、皆さん静かで普通に眠れました シャワールームの場所がわかりにくく、ウロウロしてると、外国の方に案内されました（笑） 晩御飯1000円、正直期待してませんでした。 それが本当に美味しくて！！ こういうレビューも普段は書きませんが、とても感動したので書きました。 リビングで皆さんとお喋りしてみたい衝動にかられましたが、翌朝4時半出発だったので、やめました。 次回は連泊してみたいです。

ご利用いただき誠にありがとうございます。早朝出発前にゆっくり休んでいただけたようで幸いに存じます。次回は是非、リビングで他の宿泊者さんとの交流も楽しんでみてくださいね。またのお越しをお待ちしております。
素晴らしいゲストハウス。”
ビワイチサイクリグ時、利用しました。 ゲストハウスとしてみたら最高に良い条件の宿泊施設です。 施設は清潔で、快適に過ごす事ができます。 食事もキッチンがあり食材を用意していけば、問題はありません。 機会があればまた利用したいです。

カジュアルな滞在場所としては、最高です。水回り、キッチンはリノベーション済み。部屋は普通ですが、部屋でくつろぐ目的はなく、利便性を考え、ここを選びましたが、大正解。コストパフォーマンスは最高です。
