    I liked how friendly the staff was and how many things there were to do at the facility! We did onsen (in our room and the public onsen), walked around the grounds, did karaoke, and enjoyed the multi course dinner!

Property info

The formal Japanese dinner from this palace is very popular. The master chef who trained himself for a long time at a Japanese-style restaurant in Kyoto cooks it politely. The Omi beef which is a local brand cow is very soft and is good Japanese Cattle. It's offered for beef and vegetables cooked in broth as one piece of a dish at this palace. Please enjoy by all means. Japan which needs a dish and I which are linchpins were being told by mail after reservations was made when it was a stay for several days, if I come, I'll change the reservation.

Neighborhood info

There is world's cultural and natural heritage Hieizan Enryaku-ji in the neighborhood. It's welcomed and sent off to the ropeway stop, so please go by all means.
