The property is located near the lake, offering splendid view. The staff has difficulty communication in English. The dining option is lacking, with very few tables available for so many guests.

Awfully expensive for what you get. The hotel is centrally located to the sights in Nagahama / the IC / the lake .... but the overall price for the hotel / experience was too expensive.
