Location: Take the bus from JR Kyoto Station to Ogoto Onsen Station (Ogoto Onsen Station), which takes about 20 minutes. There will be a special car to pick you up. If there is no car, you can call someone to pick you up at the station. There is only one Lawson near the hotel and almost no restaurants. Facilities: It looks like a classic hot spring hotel. The men's bath is not very large, but there is a sauna. The hot spring water is clear and transparent, and you can see the lake view. The room is also very big. I stayed in the most basic bungalow with only two beds and no tatami, but it had a lake view and no obvious drawbacks. Dinner: Classic Kaiseki cuisine. I arrived at the table on time in my yukata. An old lady greeted me. Her English was not fluent, but she still tried her best to explain. Fortunately, I knew some Japanese. There were more than a dozen dishes in total, and to be honest, they were not very good. Most of them were local cuisine. The edamame and fermented black beans on the Xijing grilled fish were a bit bitter, and not delicious in the broad sense. But there is a dish called sea urchin tofu that is really delicious. The main course was Omi beef shabu-shabu. I was a little disappointed when I saw the soup itself, which was just water and kelp, completely tasteless... But the moment I saw the beef, I knew it was good stuff. It was sliced ​​as thin as a cicada's wing, and when I picked up the slices with chopsticks, they were shining. The ratio of fat to red meat was just right. It was cooked after one turn in the pot, so I immediately picked it up and put it into the prepared radish vinegar sauce and put it in my mouth. very! There is no fiber at all, and the taste is like cotton. When you chew it, the aroma of beef and oil spreads from your mouth. It is a perfect match with the sour vinegar. very! This beef alone saved the entire dinner. The scallop-flavored rice is also good. Breakfast: Not very tasty, but they have a grill where you can grill seafood. The thick-cut squid is the best seafood, the others are a bit salty. Other services include happy hour, which provides wine and snacks before dinner.

Ryokusuitei is a traditional hot spring hotel. The hotel has a Japanese style and you can wear yukata freely. There is a private bath in the room and you can soak freely. It is very good. The food for dinner is very exquisite. The tatami room is not too hard. You will not sleep badly. The lighting in the room is also gentle.

As soon as we arrived, two hotel staff members greeted us at the door. They were polite and helped us carry our luggage to the room. Although the view from the room was slightly blocked, it still had a 90% view of Lake Biwa. The hotel has many value-added services. During happy hour, they offer a variety of beverages and functional drinks. The breakfast has a wide variety of styles and you can grill seafood by yourself, which is very interesting.
