    盆あたりに恋人と行きました。 小学生の時から家族で夏、秋に利用させていただいており琵琶湖に遊びに行く時の定番のお店になりました。 今回は恋人と行きましたが客層は家族連れが多くお盆でしたがお店が広いため特に混雑さを感じることもありませんでした。店内は6畳くらいを1つにとっているため4人家族で1テーブルでも余裕を持って座れると思います。 料理を待っている間は養殖場?で鯉釣りや鮎の手づかみを楽しめすぐ前...

    Shiga Otsu Marunouchicho 11-3

    久しぶりに家族で来ました。 二階でゆっくりと食事を楽しみたかったのですが、他の客の子供数人がずっと大きい声でかくれんぼをして遊んでいたので、うるさくてゆっくりできませんでした。 親も何も注意せず、やりたい放題でした。 せっかく久しぶりにマックに来たのに、ストレスが溜まり、疲れました。 子供が店内で大きい声で走り回っても何も注意をせず、親も店員も知らん顔!最低でした。

    琵琶湖ホテルに宿泊したので、朝食ビュッフェをお願いしました。コロナ禍で、どちらのホテルもビュッフェスタイルを敬遠しているのですが、衛生管理を徹底された、ビュッフェスタイルに久しぶりに感激しました。自由に好きな物を好きな量選択出来る事の素晴らしさ。スクランブルエッグとクロアッサンが美味いしかった。琵琶湖の景色は最高でギャルソンの方も丁寧な接遇で、素敵な時間を過ごせました

Shiga Areas

around-area-map

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.
