"This charming onsen hotel by Lake Biwako offers a spacious, pristine room with an open-air onsen bath. Both dinner and breakfast were delectable. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay truly unforgettable."
"Highly recommended to have a stay here . A very comfortable , clean and quiet Japanese hotel. Very delicious half board meal . Very nice staff . Value for money . "
"They gave me a late checkout (2 hours extension) for no additional charge. Staff tried to talk in English with me, and was very helpful. Breakfast was amazing also, and very cheap! The room is very spacious. Some things seem a bit old, and the red light in the bathroom did not work. But it was a nice stay, would probably do it again in the future!"
"가기 전과 도착한 후 소통을 너무 잘해주셔서 감사합니다. 장점과 단점으로 나눠 설명 하겠습니다.
장점 :
1. 방 총 3개, 욕실 2개, 화장실 2개 였고 부엌 포함해서 집기까지 모두 사용가능했습니다. 집이 일본 숙박업체 치고는 꽤 넓은 편입니다. 저희는 4인이 썼지만 어린이 포함하면 8인까지도 가능할 것 같습니다.
2. 120년 된 고택이었고 디자인이나 분위기는 전반적으로 만족 했습니다. 제가 원하는 일본식 고택의 느낌이었습니다.
3. 들어갈때 url 키가 안먹어서 조금 고생했는데 다행히 주인분이 다른 키로 사용하여 열 수 있게 도와주셨고 이부분은 소통이 빠른편이라 좋았습니다.
4. 1층 욕실에는 나무욕조가 있고 중앙 정원을 볼 수있어서 멋졌고 4인가족이 머무르기에는 충분한 침구류(약 6개이상), 수건도 넉넉했고 세탁 건조 다 가능해서 좋았습니다.
5. 근처에 로손 편의점, 프레스코 마트 24시간 있어서 물건 사기에 불편함이 없었습니다.
6. 따뜻한 물 정말...

Ryokan Sawaya Honten
10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Ryokan Sawaya Honten with the traditional Japanese style living with clothing and public onsen. Super quiet and clean and we had the best nights of sleep in Japan. Room is doubled sizing vs Osaka and Tokyo rooms. Beat Japan experience for our kids from America "

"Great location with shops and dining options right below the hotel. Rooms were a good size and very clean with a convenient mini sofa and table to allow for a quick snack/meal grabbed from the 7-11 downstairs. A bit of a walk to the nearest metro ~8-10mins."
