When visiting Kyoto, we wanted to enjoy some time in an onsen resort so we decided to spend two nights in Ogoto Onsen. After checking the details in their website, we booked a ”Biwa no kaze”room with private onsen and view of Lake Biwako. And we were not disappointed. The room looks newly renovated, and is very spacious with two beds and sitting area plus a tatami room. They offer different dinner packages, and we have chosen crab with steak as the main dishes for the first night, and lobster with shabu-shabu the second night. The foods were of very high quality, tasted and looked very nice. The breakfast buffet was very good with a wide selection of different items. The ryokan is excellent in nearly all aspects. We would stay here again when we next visit Kyoto.

Nice hotel with awesome lake view and free shuttle bus. Room is very spacious. One thing to note is there is no amenities in the toilet which you need to pay for it

I chose Daiwa because of its location is by the lake location and not too far away from Kurokabe distance. Daiwa is famous for good price performance ratio, meaning not expensive room rate yet providing quality room and service. The hotel lobby is grand, and you pick up the bathroom amenities at lobby yourselves. Check in was smooth but you have to bring your own luggage to your room. The hotel charge you Yen 500 for parking per night but give you Yen 500 voucher in return which you can spend in the hotel, not a bad deal. The hotel also provides a shuttle bus service to the Nagahama station for hotel guests if you are not driving. Even taking a taxi from the station to hotel is not more than 5 minutes. The station is just a few minutes walks to the famous Kurokabe Plaza and its surrounding waling streets. Yukata is available on each floor lobby where you pick your selection and size. We were allocated at the corner room which is very spacious, overlooking the lake and the pier, with windows on two sides, and therefore, very bright when the weather is sunny. We reserved a dinner in the booking with the hotel. The dinner is served in the function. It was a multi course dinner with various cooking method of Omi beef, including stew, hot pot and grill, plus a variety of other dishes such as sashimi. Server is very good and the staff are trying hard to communicate with us in English. The onsen on the ground floor is not very big, but the two nights we stayed are Friday and Saturday, so there were extremely many people. There is a souvenir shop which opens until 9pm, a bit early. After we checked out the hotel, we walked around the Nagahama Castle Park which is five minutes walk away from hotel. The castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the sixteen century but the current castle is a re-built. We dined at the hotel lobby tea lounge for lunch. But the meal was probably the worst meal I have ever had in Japan over the years. I think a tea should be fine with a good view of the lake. The location of the hotel, and the service quality makes an ideal choice when staying in Nagahama.

6日間の出張で利用しました！室内は綺麗で過ごしやすかったです。朝食バイキングは料理が毎日変化し、またコインランドリーの台数も多く、連泊でも快適に過ごせました。宿泊したのは本館のほうですが、新館の綺麗な朝食場も使えました。

Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

Fantastic staff. Fantastic room. Fantastic views. Dinner and breakfast were outstanding. Private onsen in the room. The choice of food at breakfast was amazing. Check in is 3pm and they are strict on that. Arrived at 10am, and left our suitcases. In departure they processed the checkout in an instant.

アメニティはバスタオル、歯ブラシ、カミソリなど一通り揃っていた。特に歯ブラシは作りがしっかりしており、家でも使おうと思い持ち帰った。 また客室や大浴場などの設備も清潔感があり気持ちよかった。

施設の整備状況はお世辞にも良いとは云えない温泉でした。コロナ禍でもありがら空きかな？と思いきや・・・何と地元の人達も来ていて大混雑・・・感染が気になってゆっくりと利用している雰囲気ではなかった。ここは元々、天然温泉の露天風呂と食事が「売り」の施設だったが・・・評判は芳しくない、但し、別館は綺麗で良い、低張性で弱アルカリ性の温泉なので美肌の湯とも呼ばれていた。時節柄、宿泊は事前に確認の上、訪問されると良い。

感染対策も徹底されてました。スタッフの方もテキパキされていて、温泉も大変いいお湯でした。24時間お風呂に入れるのはありがたかったです。スタッフの方も感染対策大変だと思いますが、ぜひ今後もがんばって頂きたいです。お料理も大変美味しく、こんなに近くにいいホテルがあるとは感激でした、ゆったりした時間をすごせました。ありがとうございました。また、ぜひ伺いたいです。

Booked a room with an in room onsen overlooking the lake which was amazing Staff went above and beyond and specifically Ziggy who helped me retrieve an item I had left behind. Amazing Kaiseki meal Would highly recommend for an amazing onsen experience.

滋賀県旅行支援が使えて近江牛をいただける宿を探してこちらに行きつきました。こぢんまりした宿なので駐車場も含め館内の移動が少なかったのが想定外に良かったです。チェックインはロビーで座ってさせてもらえるし、無料のミニアイスは食べ放題、卓球はラケットがすごく綺麗でびっくり！楽しませていただきました。 雨だったので湯本館のお風呂は使わず内風呂だけ利用しました。みなさん湯本館に行かれているようで朝も夜も女性側はずっと貸切。熱すぎずいいお湯でした。シャワー周りは老朽感が否めませんが、綺麗にされているのでそこまで嫌な気持ちにはなりません。あと大浴場の化粧水などは無印でした。安アウトバス用のトリートメント(メーカー忘れた)のおかげで髪もいい感じです。しいていうならこちらにもヘアゴムが欲しかった…

感染対策も徹底されてました。スタッフの方もテキパキされていて、温泉も大変いいお湯でした。24時間お風呂に入れるのはありがたかったです。スタッフの方も感染対策大変だと思いますが、ぜひ今後もがんばって頂きたいです。お料理も大変美味しく、こんなに近くにいいホテルがあるとは感激でした、ゆったりした時間をすごせました。ありがとうございました。また、ぜひ伺いたいです。

온천을 할 수 있다. 호텔 자체는 오래되었지만 조식도 맛있고 좋다. 특히 인근의 히에이잔의 엔라꾸지는 정말 좋은 곳이다. 다시 한 번 더 가보고 싶은 곳이다.

Рядом с озером и прекрасной набережной. Красивый номер в японском стиле, жаль туалет отдельно на этаже.

This 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.

場所は1号線沿いなので、分かりやすいです。 ただ　コンビニ（セブイレ）が　徒歩では少し遠いです。 ホテルから隣のおふろカフェに外に出なくて行けます。 おふろカフェの大衆演劇（お初）めっちゃ盛り上がりました。お勧め！ 部屋がオートロックでカードキーなのでトイレや洗面台が、部屋の外（共用）のためカードを持って行かないと締め出しになるので忘れないように注意！ 戻ったらTVのスイッチが消えているのが　結構　面倒でした。当たり前かな？ 他は静かで大満です。 朝食も和洋とメニューが豊富で美味しかったです。

I cannot recommend this ryokan highly enough. From being picked up from Nagahama train station, to being shuttled back to the station the next day (at the insistence of the manager), the experience was above and beyond any expectations I had about our stay here. As a family of four travelling, we were very comfortable with our stay here, albeit for one night, which was a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and even Hakone in comparison. Our stay was for the night of 29 December 2023. The walk along Lake Biwa and a visit to Nagahama Castle in the early hours of a winter's morning were refreshing and very convenient to the accommodation. The staff were very welcoming and it seemed they couldn't do enough for you to ensure your wellbeing and comfort. Dinner and breakfast were Japanese style, very tasty and filling. If you're after somewhere to stay off the beaten track and a little different, I strongly suggest a stay at Hamakogetsu, Nagahama.

山陰地方から東京方面への帰路、一泊しました。 ここが目的地だった訳ではなく、移動中の距離、インターからの道のりなど立地、予算面など、全てがちょうど良くて条件に適っていたためでした。 特に思い入れが無く、事前に情報収集する事無く泊まった訳ですが、結論として予想外に良い宿でした。 ここでは酷評されているクチコミも多いようです。ただ、その宿泊時期を見ると昔のものが多いようです。また人だけの宿泊より、ペット同伴で宿泊した方のクチコミに酷評が多い傾向があるように感じました。 建物はまだ結構新しく、外より中の方が綺麗な感じです。１０年ほど前にリニューアルした模様です。天井は高く客室は比較的広く、決して豪華ではありませんが申し分のない状態でした。接客応対は可も無し不可も無しでした。 網戸を通しても虫が入ってきてしまうようで、窓は開けないようにと客室に書かれていました。外は特に景観は無く、周囲の山並みが見えるだけです。 温泉は冷鉱泉を加温掛け流し。透明な湯と茶褐色のにごり湯がありますが、源泉は同じで採取する水位で色が変わってくるそうです。訪れた時は、内湯が透明、屋根付き露天風呂が茶褐色の湯でしたが、どちらも殆ど匂いはありません。暖まり方で鉱泉である事が判ります。 食事は夕食、朝食共に食事処で。特に特色のある料理ではありませんが、味付けは悪くなく、普通に美味しかったです。ただ、食事処は明らかに人手不足の状態で、飲み物のオーダー等は届くのが遅れがちでした。 食べて風呂に入る以外、特に何か付帯施設がある訳ではありません。お湯に浸かって、何もせずのんびり過ごすのが苦にならない方にはオススメできる宿でした。
