"Not much thing around. A Lawson conviene store closed by and 2 restaurants. Last bus 640pm and first bus at 640am. Limited transportation around. If you need to leave before 640am is not recommended it. No taxi into 7am. Go and didi doesn’t have taxi near by. The local taxi doesn't take cards only cash. Be aware of these inconvenient. The people around that area doesn't speak English. Its great and quite area. "

"On the plus side, the cottage we stayed at was spacious and well-equipped. Unfortunately walls are paper-thin and there's no blinds/curtains in the main room (the big top window) which isnt great in a country like jpn where the sun rises at 4-5am for most of the year."

Brand new property. Parking available for a charge (limited spaces). Onsen on property, very nice with sauna and cold bath. Beds are firm but comfortable. Breakfast with an additional charge. Japanese style breakfast, so skip if you want western style.

The hotel is a bit dated but the location is excellent if you want to ride on the Gozaisho Ropeway. It is right next to the Ropeway station. Moreover and since we booked our room on a Sunday that traffic to the hotel is quite bad as a lot of people were driving to the summit to take the ropeway ride.
On the other hand, we take advantage of its vicinity to the station that we are the first taking the ride the next day. Ticket to ropeway riding is sold in the hotel at a discount.

The hotel features large updated rooms with windows on the bay so it is delightful watching the sun rise and moon from the comfort of your room. The hot baths are excellent. The dinners and breakfasts vary every day and are both outstanding. The price for all this is reasonable. And, let’s not forget the free shuttle to the train station. I felt that staff was over worked and I’m not sure if there were enough staff people.

From Shikanoyu, it's a 5 minute walk to the cable car (called a Ropeway in Japan) that goes to the top of Mt Gozaisho. It's close to the Suzuka race course, and the flower garden Nabana no Sato. It's also within driving distance of Ise Jingu (1 hr 20 minutes), Kyoto (1 hr 30 minutes) and Hikone Castle (1 hr 25 minutes)
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the food is what you would expect from a good ryokan in Japan...exquisite. My room was spacious and quiet, and the ofuro and...
