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.

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。
