This is a very local non touristy village. We enjoyed the hospitality (even if we couldn’t communicate) The owner helped accomadate my sea food allergy. We really liked the hot bath available in the beautiful water. The only thing I would say is that it isn’t close to anything and you have to walk about 22 minutes to the train

民宿です。

民宿です。全室お風呂・トイレが共同で、食事処は別棟なので、雨が降っているとちょっと面倒です。素泊まりプランでしたが、チェックイン時に夕食・朝食をお願いしましたが、快く受けていただけました。そしてご飯美味しかったです。また、かはたが食事処にあって、清水を飲むことができます。11月下旬に宿泊しましたが、暖かい季節の方が良いかもしれません。 スクリーンの上や、お風呂の換気扇のふたは埃がたまってました。宿泊客がチェックアウトするまで清掃が入らないので、脱衣所の床の髪の毛もすごかったです。全体的に不潔ではありませんが、掃除が行き届いているとは言い難いです。あと、浴槽に向かって右側のシャワー２つがお湯が出ませんでした。 料金はビジネスホテルくらい。このエリアはほとんど宿泊施設がないので、選択肢が限られます。駅から遠く不便ですが、湧水の水路、焼杉の外観が特徴的な昭和の家々が他の地域にない独特のさびれ感と懐かしさを醸し出しています。地域の雰囲気も混みで、高評価を付ける利用者がいるのだと思いました。

旅館負責人及員工很友善及笑容滿面，雖然我們不懂日語，但他們會努力嘗試用簡單英文及Google translate 與我們溝通， 我們要求旅館幫忙安排交通接送，他們亦很樂意幫忙，如果下次還有機會到高島玩，一定會再住這旅館。

チェックインが時間ギリギリでスタッフの方には迷惑をかけてしまいました。 評価は ・・・ 隣の部屋の声、音がうるさすぎる。トイレ、廊下の虫が気になる。お風呂上がりに水を飲もうとしたら、コップが全部使われていた。スタッフの方が帰る前に確認して補充するべきだと思う。８時にスタッフが帰ってしまうらしく、安全面で不安がある。

新しいがスタッフ不足か

琵琶湖の桜を見るために家族で素泊まりプラン。チェックインは夜9時までらしくそのあたりの情報は本サイトでは把握できていなかった。施設は新しいがスタッフの人手不足か、清掃が行き届いていない感じがした。琵琶湖畔の湧水を使った中庭の池の鯉へのえさやりは子供に受けていてよかった。

のんびりと癒しを求めるならココ

家族５人で利用しました。部屋はお風呂から近く、何度も入りました。誰も入っていない時間帯にのんびりと利用できて贅沢な気分を味わえました。 食事はいろんな種類があり、特にとんちゃんは美味しく、帰りに道の駅でお土産として購入したほどです。 湧き水を利用したお風呂に、食事。いつでも飲める湧き水もあり、心もカラダもリラックスできました。周辺には特に何かがあるというわけではありませんが、のんびりとしたい方や宿で時間を過ごしたい方には最適だと思います。また家族みんなで訪問したいです。
