Ryokan Beniayu  

On the shores of Lake Biwa in Nagahama, steps from the Biwako Waterfowl Wetland Center. Minutes from Chikubu Island and Doganji Temple Kannondo, this lake-adjacent ryokan puts nature and culture within easy reach. Group-friendly and well positioned for exploring the quasi‑national park and nearby sights.

Rooms blend warm, simple décor with modern comforts. Choose from 14–16 air‑conditioned guestrooms that feature private spa tubs, flat-screen TVs and private lanais or terraces. Daily housekeeping, in‑room safes and desks keep stays low‑fuss and comfortable.

Soak in hot springs and spa facilities, or unwind in the sauna and massage rooms. Social buzz comes from the bar, restaurant, karaoke and a small gift shop/newsstand. Library and terrace spaces invite slow afternoons—wake up to lake‑breeze mornings. Complimentary area shuttle, free self parking and train station pick‑up make arrival easy.

Conference hall and luggage storage support meetings and group travel. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected, and a train station pick‑up service helps with logistics.

Onsite restaurant serves regional flavors and local‑style breakfasts (available for a fee). There’s a bar/lounge for evening drinks and limited‑hour room service if you prefer to dine in.
