Summer time Lake Biwa
Check in was fast, front desk very kind and polite. Great view of lake, right on the beach.
Brielle
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.

美好而溫馨的旅宿
剛好在淡季入住，以致我們成了包棟入住，屋內的暖氣、澡堂還是給得很足，感覺對店主有點不好意思。招待的是日本夫妻，老婆的英文還不錯，老公好像英文不太好。櫃檯、澡堂有營業服務時間，夜間出入也有門禁時間，就需要用密碼鎖出入。雖然我們的和式房沒有附廁所，但店主貼心的將房間安排在離廁所及茶水間很近的地方。周遭的賣店有點距離，如果沒有開車前往，記得要先自備一些需要的食物。位置緊鄰琵琶湖畔及沙灘，如果夏天這裡一定很熱鬧！！是值得再次造訪的地方！

公共交通機関で行くには不便な場所です。

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。
