There is no toilet or bathroom in the room, only a washbasin. For Japanese people, it is very common to have such old family-style hostels without toilet and bathroom facilities in the room, but it will be very unusual for foreign tourists. To take a shower and go to the toilet, you have to go to the shared toilet outside the room. It is very inconvenient and scary to leave the room alone to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.

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!

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.
