Amazing lakeside stay!!!!
We loved our stay at View Lodge! The owner was so kind and welcoming - she offered us local recommendations and helped us with everything we needed. The site has free bikes to use and kayaks or ping pong available for rent. We ate breakfast at the restaurant - it was affordable and delicious. Very traditional Japanese foods and preparation. The owners make all the food themselves! The onsen and rooms were very clean and comfortable. Great views of the lake from our room! There was mens/women’s bathrooms on each floor (not in the room) but this is typical for most traditional Japanese hotels. We hope to go back someday! We had a relaxing, lovely stay and enjoyed getting to know the owner and her family and explore the Lake Biwa area.

View Lodge Biwa is a really nice accommodation right on the lake shore at Manohama beach. Nice and quiet hotel with Japanese and western style rooms. The place is run by Chiaki (who is fluent in English) and her husband, who are excellent hosts.

숙소 바로 앞 해변이라 좋습니다. 좀 오래된 건물 이지만 부분 리모델링으로 전체적으로 깨끗합니다. 다음에도 방문하고 의사 있습니다.

여기 숙소의 가장 큰 장점은 호수 앞에 있는 것과 매우 친절하다는것입니다 숙소가 오래되어 청결 문제가 있습니다 에어컨이 더러웠기에 밤새 히터를 틀었을때 공기가 너무 안좋았습니다

湖のほとりにあっていい景色が眺められます。 お正月に素泊まりしたのでお忙しかったのでしょう。朝イチのお風呂では床に髪がたくさん落ちてました。 食事をいただいてないので、また泊まった際にコメントします。 チェックアウト時には現金で、と言われました。 私のチェック漏れなのかもしれません。

秋の琵琶湖
ツインの洋室に宿泊しました。 アジアンランプがベットサイドにあり、シンプルだけど落ち着く良い感じの部屋でした。 オーナーも奥さんも感じの良い方で、お話した印象も良かったです。 ロビーのインテリアも家族子ども向けの雰囲気であたたかい感じでした。 窓から見える琵琶湖が素敵でした。 湖畔の散歩も時期が秋で静かで宿泊して良かったです。
