Hatago Wakatsu is a small ryokan in a quiet residential part of Omihachiman, Shiga Prefecture, roughly 80 minutes from Kyoto. It opened in November 2020 inside a renovated 190-year-old wooden building that once housed a tatami shop, keeping its Sukiya-style architecture while adding contemporary touches. The inn sits near Lake Biwa with mountains around it, in a region historically known for supplying ingredients to Kyoto. With only a couple of guestrooms and a focus on food and design rather than sightseeing, it suits travellers seeking a taste of traditional Japanese daily life. Note the 23:00 curfew, which may not suit late arrivals.
