Ashiu Hotels, Nantan

"Everything was exceptional. Did not use the communal spa because we had a private spa in the room with a beautiful view of the lake. Hotel had a shuttle to the train station."

"Excellent hotel staying in ohara in Kyoto No other better than this property in Kyoto Service and food is best!!"

"Was really good. We unfortunately, only spent one night on route to Hiroshima here. Would liked to have stayed longer "

"Beautiful hotel, superb service, inner atrium of green (also adjacent to a park/lake). Very accommodating in storing my bike. Would have loved to stay longer but was only one night."

"Yuzanso was the location I chose as a surprise vacation trip for my girlfriend. Placed north of Otsu, it was one of the most perfect places for getting away from the crowd of the bigger city while still being a place of convenience to access other parts of Shiga. Before coming to the property, I asked many questions about the property and even made a special request to Yuzanso, and they provided 100% to my satisfaction. Once arriving at the property, the staff were very polite and accommodating. Being able to speak both Japanese and English well, they would be able to communicate and help guide guests from all walks of life. The property itself was quite larger than expected. Its vastness, design, and cleanliness really separate it from other properties. You can tell that the management and staff truly do care about making guests feel welcomed. We stayed on the 8th floor in the Executive Satoyama Room. The room was beautiful, spacious, and very clean. The view from the room as well was absolutely drop dead gorgeous. During the day you can experience the vastness of Lake Biwa and the surrounding towering mountains. And during the night, the thousands of shimmering lights of city reflecting off of the water were breath taking. All of this you can enjoy while bathing in the open air style private hot spring wooden bath that is built attached to the room. I am now happily engaged to my fiancée, and Yuzanso played a huge role in this. Thank you so much Yuzanso! Would recommend!"

"As far as the staff and property and room is concerned, I give this place a 10+++. You cannot find better service and staff in all of Japan. However, the only complaint is for Americans. The breakfast is very Japanese and very limited. Also very crowded on the weekends. If you want to use the pool, you need to make an appointment for 60 minutes and the pool is always very crowded with families and children. Also, the hotel is 30 minutes away from where everything happens in Kyoto. So you should expect to be taking taxis everywhere. Other than that, the property staff and service is beyond expectations."

"The room and the meals were wonderful! The private onsen bath was excellent."

"Clean room and facilities. Very friendly staff."

"Brilliant, stay. Beautiful location away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you are looking for a unique experience this is it. Great food (and lots of it) very friendly staff looking to please. The accomodation is slightly aged but again a hard to beat experience Can’t recommend highly enough."
