Hotel berhampiran Ajiki Shrine, Toyosato

Staff was super nice, they even found my lost bag. Hotel was clean and it has a nice fast food joint across the street to pick up some dinner. Even provided a q tip which is rear and a nice touch. Breakfast was great.

桜満開のベストな時にお邪魔しました。 5階のキャッスルビューツインルームに泊まりました。 部屋の窓から彦根城が臨め、満開の桜に、空は雲一つない晴天で、この上ない至福の時を過ごしました。 夕食は海鮮の鉄板焼きにしました。色々アレンジしてあって、楽しく、そしてとても美味しかったです。 朝食バイキングも良かったです。 沸かし湯ですが大浴場なんかもあって、のんびりすることもできました。

Very happy with my experience. I stayed one night in late November 2022 while riding the Biwaichi route. Staff was courteous, efficient, and bilingual. Facility was clean and well organized and - importantly - had indoor bicycle storage. For the equivalent of 28 USD (3700 JPY) I got one of the dorm beds similar to a capsule hotel plus a Thai bento of Gapao rice which was delicious. They also have a nice big public bath as well as individual showers, coin laundry, and some snacks for purchase at the front desk. If you're looking for an overnight rest stop while riding, i recommend this place.

バイク旅行中に和室を利用しました。 浴室のドアが開く方向の関係で、風呂から和室ヘアクセスするのにいったんスリッパを経由しないといけないのがほんの少し気になりましたが、それ以外特に問題は無いと思います。 とにかく高速道路上にあってIC下車不要というのが最大のメリットで、利用しようと思った一番の理由でもあります。 客室に湯沸かしポットがありラーメンやお茶などを作ることも可能です。 チェックアウト前に外出してSAで朝食が食べられるのかは不明でしたが、それができるのならフロイントで聞いて試しても良かったなと後から思っています。

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.

10月11日から一泊、コンフォートモダンのお部屋に宿泊しました。お部屋には携帯の充電を数人で同時に行えるよう電源タップが備えつけてあったら、コロナ対策にテレビのリモコンに使い捨てのビニールケースが用意されてたり、心遣いを感じました。 翌朝、チェックアウト後、登山に出かけら際荷物を預かって頂きまた。下山が17時になり荷物を受取に行くと、『お時間大丈夫なら、お風呂入っていかれたら？』とおっしゃってさくださり、タオルまで貸してくださり、、サッパリと汗を流してから気持ちよく帰ることができたました。既に朝のうちにチェックアウトを済ませてるにも関わらずお風呂まですすめてくださった上、駅まで車で送ってくださったり、、本当にご親切にして頂き感激しました。もし、また御在所岳登山する時は是非、鹿の湯ホテルに宿泊したいと思います。
