Overall Ratings
4 based on 284 reviews
After touring 4 tasteful hot springs such as the open-air bath "Gesshin-no-Yu" on the top floor with great view of Lake Biwa, and another open-air bath "Togen-Shoyo" presenting natural beauty, you will enjoy the relish of Ohmi Beef, one of three Japanese beef brands, or Kaseki in Kyoto style. "Hanare Karoi" where every room has an open-air bath.
Fantastic Ryokan style hotel!
Reviewed By TseYI stayed at Yumotokan during the Christmas holiday and it was a beautiful ryokan style hotel with multiple onsen facilities for the guests. Both breakfast and dinner were included in my bookings and the food was sensational! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who plans to visit Lake Biwa!

Overall Ratings

Yuzanso is located at Shiga Prefecture, in the Ogoto area near the Japan’s largest lake called lake Biwa. We are about 20 minutes away by train from Kyoto Prefecture as well. You can enjoy a nice hot spring and good food after your visit at Kyoto. Out of the 109 rooms, 51 comes with private open-air hot spring bath in your room. Other than that, we have a public bath and an open-air bath for all of our guests.
Just 20 min from Kyoto Station
Reviewed By akikon281Ogoto HOT SPRING is the largest hot spring resort just 20min by green color pretty train from Kyoto Station. It is very popular as a hot spring with skin-enriching properties thanks to its high alkaline levels, which give your skin a smooth feel after bathing. Almost all hotels have their own transportaion buses b/w the Ogoto station and their accomodation. When you call the hotel after reaching the Ogoto station, they can pick you up at the station. It is free. I booked Yuzanso for 1 night staying to enjoy the hot spring. All staffs are very good hospitality.The breakfast is healthy. Very reasonable price, not expencive, but if you would like to enjoy Japanese hot spring to boost up your health, this hotel should be better than another hotels there. They have the restaurant (good)and bar(okay for beer not cocktail ) When you have some problems in the hotel, all staffs will help you to resolve them as soon as possible. The bed is a little bit small, but I like this hotel in Ogoto Hot Spring area. Ogoto Herb Garden is next door from Yuzanso. I enjoyed herb tea. It should be perfect healing staying. Recommend.

Great place to relax and eat
Reviewed By keretsakPro: The pick up from and to the hotel was pretty easy. We called as soon as we arrived at the station and got picked up within 5 minutes. The hotel staff and very very attentive and cares for your every need. The traditional Kaiseki-Dinner ist very recommendable, the beef was TOP and of high quality! The public onsen was pretty nice as well, even though the onsen designated for the men can be seen from the surrounding buildings. "Contra": We booked the Deluxe Room with an open air bath (onsen) on the balcony which cost a steep amount of money and yet, the water was not hot because it's natural spring water and the temperature outside was around 2°C. Too bad, we would have loved to use the bath but couldn't. But overall a great stay and would definitely come back again!

Amazing kaiseki experience
Reviewed By anthonyw0802This is our first kaiseki dinner experience in onsen ryokan. We love the food setting and the service. The onsens are also beautiful especially the outdoors with bamboo trees surround, we tried all pools (indoor and outdoor) as well private onsen. The breakfast also good setting. After finish onsen, there is one space that we can overlook small nice garden and enjoy the peaceful with 8'C breeze in december. So relaxing ... We spent 97k yen for 4 adults including the kaiseki dinner (forgot to take shabu pict) and breakfast
5. Dantokan Kikunoya
Overall Ratings

The warmth of a happy home. A friendly atmosphere makes you relax and feel at ease. Nostalgic texture of woods and earth. Warmly illuminated ryokan offers hearty hospitality. Lakeland specialties and seasonal delicacies receive a fantastic review. We accommodate guests with pets.
Best Ryokan in Japan!!
Reviewed By cama9572This was the best part of our trip. We stayed in a room with a private tub and it was the best. We also did the Kobe beef dinner and it was the best food we had our entire trip. It was not to far from Kyoto. The staff was AMAZING!!! My wife is allergic to shellfish and they made us a custom breakfast to accommodate her allergy with out us even asking. My wife literally cried when we left from how much we appreciated their hospitality. Cannot recommend this place enough.
6. Komolebi
Overall Ratings
4 based on 42 reviews
Regarding the accommodation rate for Komolebi, you can use a Japanese-style room for three people with only 8,400 yen per night (excluding consumption tax) per person for weekdays with the most standard plan, Toku-Toku Plan. Our guests sometimes ask us that "Why so cheap?", "Are the meals included?", etc. No wonder people worry about our rate compared to the one for common business hotels in town, because ours are for a Hot-spring hotel and also two meals are included. Then how can Komolebi do with this rate? Because we totally pass the savings on to you by providing simple service. serving tea are cut instead. We have not waitress, but we prepare your meals in the restaurant. We give back to our guests by making cost savings reasonably responding to our guest's request that they would like to enjoy a hot-spring hotel with reasonable rate. This is the primary reason that Yunoyado Komolebi is selected.
the best place in Japen
Reviewed By Jeon SI visited there twice before, and I already make a reservation this winter again. Here you can feel the very Japanese atmosphere and the food is really nice. I also love the ryokan(spa) next to this place. You should go there which is in the Yomotokan. Service, Room, Food, Mood everything is great, even it is not that expansive! Thanks to be born lol
