tsu to mu, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our first time staying in an onsen hotel. The property is loaded with amenities: an on-site hot and cold water onsen, a lounge with 24 hours of free drinks, a happy hour with wine included. Our room was gorgeous, with tatami mat floors and comfortable beds they set up. We had a glass wall shower and views of Lake Biwaka. My only criticism is that some of the furnishings seem a bit dated. But everything else was spectacular.
Antung, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Resort itself is clean and comfortable, the in room onsen is excellent and can change temperature to your liking. There are free drinks and alcohol included. The dinner is excellent and service is great.

our first room was a box and the bathroom was so tiny but we complained and were upgraded to a really nice room with a wonderful bath outside, shower outside too! our room looked out onto lake biwa you really need to be into authentic Japanese food for the dinners. the staff treats you like royalty they have a shuttle to the train station which is awesome

Overall a pretty good stay, the tatami has dated smells. The kaiseki dinner has good preparation but the taste is average.

老飯店，不過翻新了。 房間雖不大，但尚算整潔。 晚餐豐富但沒有驚喜，早餐有燒海鮮，但要自己動手，是比較有特色，但個人覺得有點麻煩。
