Marumo Ryokan

The host of the guesthouse was very kind, and the extra dinner we ordered—Wagyu sukiyaki—was incredibly delicious. I would definitely visit again if I have the chance!

Most welcoming host Authentic Japanese Ryokan experience Amazing food

Breakfast was sumptuous and beautiful. Shabu shabu dinner, ordered after arriving, was excellent. The milk tofu and shashimi entrees were amazing, so were the meat and vegetables. We were very happy with the owner’s recommendation of the cruise to Chikubu island. The onsen was fabulous. Walking distance to the train station and many good restaurants in spite of being a small town. We enjoyed walking along the lake and listening to the waves. We would highly recommend this ryokan.

The food was incredible and the service was amazing. I really enjoyed this place.

Host was hospitable and friendly. Onsen usually closed in the morning but he offered to open upon request from 6am to 8am. Room was clean and spacious.

Pillow too flat. I have to fold it to rest more comfortably.

Everything about our stay is perfect. This Ryokan is full of character. Great hospitality from the owner - they are very friendly and made sure our stay was comfortable and provided good dinner recommendations. Having an onsen in the ryokan is a huge bonus - this is probably the highlight of our stay. Authentic Japanese breakfast served. The location is near the train station making sites around Lake Biwa accessible. We're so glad we stayed here.

Very kind owner and staff. Big and tasty breakfast. Onsen and nice figures. Good room for a good price.

Nothing.

Breakfast was great, it had a Japanese style public bath, location is close enough to a JR station.

Not much, it is a ryokan though, so disturbances from other guests may be audible in your room.

great staff/owner and nice food
