    Shiga Takashima-shi Makinocho Shiratani 370-1

    バーベキュープランで宿泊しましたが、20時過ぎまでバーベキュー、20:45にはお風呂の清掃が入るのでそれまでに入らないと行けないのがバタバタで全然ゆっくり出来ませんでした。 日帰り客にその時間までならまだしも、せめて宿泊客にはお風呂の時間をもう少し伸ばしてもらわないと困ります。 布団は敷いてくれず自分で敷かないといけないようですが、布団の下のマットにカビのようなものがあり汚くて不快でした。

  • Hikone Sen no Matsubara Onsen
    Accommodations / Hot Spring
    Shiga Pref. Hikoneshi Matsubarachou 3759
    This hot spring wells up on the grounds of the Kanpo no Yado Hikone, a hotel standing right on the shore of Japan's largest lake, Lake Biwa. The waters of this hypotonic, mildly alkaline, low temperature simple spring are said to treat nerve pain, joint pain, and chronic digestive diseases in addition to aiding recovery from fatigue. The hotel's large bath on the sixth floor features floor to ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of Lake Biwa. The hotel's private, reservable bath (reservation required) has a natural hot spring outdoor bath incorporating universal design principles, and here families can enjoy a relaxing soak without having to think about the people around them. Both the large bath and reservable bath may be used by non-guests. The hotel also has a popular medicinal herb bath Ibuki yakuso-yu which contains Japanese mugwort and six other varieties of medicinal herbs.

Shiga Areas

Visitors to Shiga prefecture are almost always hopping east across the prefectural border from Kyoto, and they are almost certainly Lake Biwa-bound. Covering an area of 670 square kilometers, Lake Biwa makes up the bulk of Shiga prefecture, with beautiful lakeside paths that offer myriad walking and cycling opportunities, connecting a string of museums, shrines, and picturesque views that finally lead you to Hikone Castle on the eastern side of the lake.
