Our Ryokan is located on the lakeside of BIWAKO. BIWAKO (lake BIWA) is the largest lake in Japan and 3rd oldest lake in the world. You may notice such beautiful nature and quiet atmosphere from your room. And you may enjoy your bath time with our open air bath which is on the lakeside of every rooms. Please enjoy wonderful and beautiful Japanese Ryokan Experiences.
A few of our staffs can speak English. But basically, we are going to serve you in Japanese. You may enjoy Japanese original Ryokan experiences with our staffs. But don't worry, we also trying to communicate to you with various tools, body language, mobile translator, drawing picture, and so on and so on. We are very welcome you, our guests from overseas.
Most famous area near Ryokan BENIAYU is KUROKABE at Nagahama. But we recommend so many places you can feel traditional Japanese culture and beautiful nature. For example, DohGanji temple has very very beautiful Kannon stature. You may spent few hours in front of her. Please feel free to ask us anything about our area.
