Property information

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.

Neighbourhood information

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.
