Hotels Near Shoren-ji Temple in Yasu

I stayed here because they offered free co-sleeping. The room was clean and the hotel was stylish, but they gave me a printed explanation of how to use the hotel, and it said that pillows and other items for co-sleeping children would be provided free of charge if you told the front desk, but in reality they don't lend them to co-sleeping children. That's just an excuse, and in reality they probably don't have enough pillows because there are so many guests. Please be careful if you are traveling with children during peak season. I decided to stay here after reading the reviews on Google, and the description of the separate bath was good, so I decided to stay here, but it wasn't until I stayed there that I realized that unit bath types are also common. I wish there were more clear options when making reservations. Also, small children were using the elevator by themselves and playing around the drink bar and the front desk. The children were not at fault, and the parents were not very strict, but I think the hotel should tell the front desk in advance that it is dangerous for children to act alone in the hotel and to refrain from doing so. I think an accident will happen soon. The quality of the izakaya directly connected to the hotel is also too low. I stayed there for two days, but the restaurants in front of Moriyama Station seemed to be of low quality overall. There are other minor issues, but I think the hotel could have improved if the above points could be improved.

I never imagined that so many people would stay in this hotel, both Japanese and foreigners. In Japan, at this price, the rooms are quite spacious, there are hot springs, and free parking. However, there are not many restaurants nearby, so it is suitable for self-driving tourists. official!

I have used it many times, but this time there was an irregularity that the towel in the room was not placed w When I contacted the front desk, he brought it to me immediately and it was a pleasant response. I will use it again. Service mineral water and curry are also helpful (^^)

This is the second time visit here,There is a shuttle bus from train to hotel, the hotel facilities and services are perfect, the hot spring is great, the temperature is just right,Swimming pool is quite big,I must go again next time.Thankyou Mayumi Kiyu she try her best to helping me,is a nice lady=]and also Rai Rojina she is the one who can speak good english in the hotel,she helping me so much!! 第二次來這裡了，從火車到酒店有專車接送，酒店設施和服務都很完善，溫泉很棒，溫度剛剛好，游泳池挺大的，下次一定要再去 .謝謝Mayumi Kiyu，她盡力幫助我，是一位好員工=]還有Rai Rojina，她是酒店裡能說一口流利英語的人，她幫了我很多！！還有一位會說普通話的男孩，他非常有禮貌，努力的幫我翻譯,thanks!

I stayed in this hotel several times before the epidemic. It is more than ten minutes' drive from Kyoto Station and a small square from JR Kusatsu Station. For people who are tired from a day's travel, it is more convenient than hotels in Kyoto with inconvenient transportation. I chose this hotel again for my first trip to Kansai after the epidemic. I bought a Kansai Wide Area Tour Pass and it is not a problem to stay here and go anywhere. Although the facilities are not modern, the room area is large enough, and the service and catering of the old-fashioned hotel give people a good feeling.

This is a ****, they should not welcome me as a self-driving person. Kyoto came out. I was on the road and saw free parking. I happened to book this one. I couldn’t see anyone in the hotel. There was a phone at the gate (maybe it was used to contact), the Japanese booked that one, Directly into the room (no lock the door), because they want privacy, I arrived to find someone, half a day out of an old lady, not English, talked for a long time, finally let me in... But then recalled, should I ask me two? I nodded my head randomly, and I only understood the reason when I entered the room. There is a rent ********* price list on the table. I go alone and I can't earn money. I have to say that the Japanese will play in this regard!

I stayed with my family for 2 nights for purposes. I chose this one near the station because of the location, but the room is a business hotel type and is by no means large. Is it kept clean? I couldn't deny that the equipment was aging, so I entered the room and there was a spot that was noticeable. Although it is 2 consecutive nights, the card key will not work at 11 o'clock the next day, probably because I booked one night at a time, and an error occurred. I asked the front desk to deal with two stories, but I went to the front desk again without apologizing and went to the front desk again. From the time of check-in, I couldn't feel the service spirit at all at the front desk, and it was clerical. This hotel seems to have nothing to do with that. Because there are usually more people cleaning the room for one night, the aunt uses the entire corridor to spread the used linen in each room, and it is difficult to walk in the corridor. The elevator is also occupied by a linen transport cart around 1100-1300, and it is difficult to get there. It's okay if you just sleep, but it feels a little expensive for that room and service.

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.

Stayed at Youzanso during late March 2023. It was during the cherry blossom season. We (family of four) had the room with the Lake Otsu view and private bath. The room was sufficient for 4 of us but I wouldn't call it spacious. However, the room and bathroom were clean. The room came with dinner and breakfast for 4 of us and costed about AUD800. The dinner and breakfast was quite good and would recommend to anyone considering the half board. It might get old if u were staying for few days but we were only there for one night. We toured Kyoto for the day and stayed here overnight then went back to kyoto for more sightseeing. It wasn't as convenient as if you stayed in Kyoto but the travel wasn't long or difficult. The property is bit dated and looks more like a hotel than a ryokan. The facilities are clean but also look dated as well. However, the public onsen is great, clean and the outdoor bath is a must. Took this photo of the external bath when no one was present and the ambiance was really something...

My partner and I thorougly enjoyed our stay at Biwako Hotel. All rooms face the beautiful Lake Biwako and the view was perfect. We even caught a snowfall on one of our mornings here. The staff was great and always friendly even when there was a slight language barrier. We tried their breakfast as well which was really good. Highly recommend renting their electric bikes and cycling around the lake during sunset. And also going for the Lake Biwako Cruise! The hotel onsen is wonderful as well, we will definitely be back
