All rooms have tatami-matted corridors and all rooms have open-air baths, which offer a view of Chikubu Island on Lake Biwa while soaking in the baths. Guests can enjoy a variety of Kyoto-style kaiseki cuisine using seasonal ingredients and lake fish. On the shores of Lake Biwa, visitors are greeted by a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful time while watching the willow trees swaying gently in the waves, water birds playing on the lake, and the shadow of Chikubu Island floating quietly on the surface of the lake. Omi beef, one of Japan's three great cuts of beef, and freshwater fish dishes that bring out the flavor of the lake's fish are among the specialties of this area. Kohoku is a region blessed with gastronomic ingredients, and we offer daily changing kaiseki meals that allow you to enjoy seasonal delicacies such as moroko from winter to spring, sweetfish from early summer to early fall, and eel and duck.
