Dantokan Kikunoya
暖灯館 きくのや
A small inn on the shore of Lake Biwa, filled with the warmth of wood and earth. Besides a large communal bath fed with the gentle-on-the-skin waters of Ogoto Onsen, it has a panoramic private open-air bath (kashikiri) on the rooftop with sweeping views. There are also dedicated guest rooms where you can stay with your dog. An onsen inn where you can unwind body and mind at leisure in a space as comfortable as home.
