4/10 Fair

First I want to say so the staff were great and friendly. However the property is such in the 80's and not in a good retro way. From washroom, bedding and carpets, everything looks original to when this place was built. The only areas that looks upgraded is the lobby area, which is what u see in the pictures. But much to do in surrounding area and a kid of restaurants closed by 8pm. For an advertised "resort", they need to do a lot better. Keep driving to next town and stay somewhere else.

The property is located near the lake, offering splendid view. The staff has difficulty communication in English. The dining option is lacking, with very few tables available for so many guests.

Awfully expensive for what you get. The hotel is centrally located to the sights in Nagahama / the IC / the lake .... but the overall price for the hotel / experience was too expensive.

Great location, staff
The view from the room was magnificent, the staff was nice. Less than ten minutes walking from Nagahama station and also close to the Nagahama pier (where you may take the tourism steam boat to Chikubu island).

A RESTFUL RESORT HOTEL
THIS HOTEL WAS ABIT PRICEY BUT WE HAD A VERY ENJOYABLE STAY. THEY HAD ENGLISH SPEAKING FRONT DESK STAFF WHO WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT. WE TOOK A ROOM FACING THE LAKE WHICH WAS SPACIOUS AND COMFORTABLE. THERE WAS NOT MUCH ACTIVITY AROUND THE HOTEL AND ABIT OF DRIVING INVOLVED TO SEE THE AREA BUT IT'S IDEAL FOR CHILLING OUT AND A WALK ALONG THE LAKESHORE IN THE MORNINGS WAS VERY PLEASANT, EVEN IN SUMMER. STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE HOTEL TO STAY IN WHEN VISITING THE NORTHERN PART OF LAKE BIWA !

The hotel has a great Lake View, and located walking distance to Nagahama Port to visit Chikubu-Island via Ferry. We wish we knew they provide a free shuttle between hotel and Nagahama Station in advance. We did not check that when we booked the hotel.
