The room was spacious and had extra bedding that could be used to fit your preference. I was not sure about the shared bath, but each room reserves time slots, so you do not bath with strangers. I loved the cypress bath, it was perfect after a long day. I chose not to use the room heater because of the kerosene smell. Instead, the kotatsu table kept me plenty warm for this time of year. The location was very close to plenty of food and lake adventures. The owner was very helpful and friendly, even though I only knew a few words in Japanese. I visited alone, but I hope to bring my whole family for our next visit. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9319E9930AE1FBA6327D0B829C897A967F9CDC071714956495443.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Aaron Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TAT KI 21 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Enjoy quiet and lake front view ##### TAT KI Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 24 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Host was just the sweetest, ##### Thomas Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ying 14 Dec 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities hotel is old, but it should be okay. many old hotels are cozy. here don't have central heater, no heating conditions. they use old heating machine. once reach set temperature, it will shut down after a while. so 2 hours it can drop from 26 to 14 degree. frozen at night, you have to wake up to turn on again. and washing room is separated, even room temperature is 26, washing room is frozen.

The couple that run it are very friendly and helpful. They literally contacted me five minutes after booking to explain how to find them and check in. It's very clean and up kept. Will definitely book again in the future! ##### Adam Stayed 1 night in Oct 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 部屋が広く快適だった。寒い時期でこたつが部屋で使えたのも良かった。唯一トイレが部屋に付いていなかったのが残念。ホテルの自転車を無料で使えたのも良かった。 ホストの方達がとても親切で気持ちの良い滞在だった。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was an excellent choice to experience a Japanese ryokan. Specially considering the price. Very traditional and an amazing service. We really hope to come back. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 24 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Onsen bath was an unexpected bonus, as was the pool table and the traditional Japanese furnishings. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alastair 12 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant guesthouse near lake and restaurants This is a very pleasant and spotlessly clean guesthouse set back from the lake (and the main road around it) along an alley. My room backed onto a forest and was very pleasant. A good western style cooked breakfast is available; order the day before. There are several good restaurants back on the lakeside within easy walking distance. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7018F64B87DD407E7ADEF60E34759DD6C9501C831568278846160.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alastair Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 18 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Review Very nice place! ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tenpyo Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nara-Hotels-Tenpyo-Ryokan.h14844103.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Penang](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Penang-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d2766-tBeachHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Isle of Mull](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Mull-Hotels.d6131921.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Banana Fan Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koh-Samui-Hotels-Banana-Fan-Sea-Resort.h10651751.Hotel-Information) > > [The Leam Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weymouth-Hotels-The-Leam-Hotel.h20064332.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reef at Atlantis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nassau-Hotels-The-Reef-At-Atlantis.h1782699.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Berlin by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berlin-Hotels-InterContinental-Berlin.h5619.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn High Wycombe M40, Jct. 4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-High-Wycombe-M40.h7847.Hotel-Information) > > [Suimeikan Karukaya Sanso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Suimeikan-Karukaya-Sanso.h16258706.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Nai Harn Beach Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Nai-Harn-Beach-Phuket.h38765588.Hotel-Information) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [Papadopoli Hotel Venezia - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Hotel-Papadopoli-Venezia-MGallery-By-Sofitel.h2506.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fukinomori](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagiso-Hotels-Hotel-Fukinomori.h34515912.Hotel-Information) > > [Hoshino Resorts KAI Nikko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nikko-Hotels-Hoshino-Resorts-KAI-Nikko.h17903043.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/yyz/bhx/toronto-to-birmingham) ### Cars > [Avis Car Rentals In Sheffield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avis-Car-Rentals-In-Sheffield.d5682-c41.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Budget Car Rentals In Ibiza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budget-Car-Rentals-In-Ibiza.d5915209-c39.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ---
