    From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile walk of the property. Only one restaurant off site in that mile two convenience stores and if you walk a bit further a pretty mellow "redlight" district

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh.

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh. But go to have a walk behind the hotel. The countryside is like a Miyazaki movie getting real ! You can go near from there : temples, beach, ski station with incredible view… But with the hotel’s shuttle and the station you have Kyoto, very near, Nara, Osaka a little farther. You’ve got all Kansaï by JR… A good tip : when you go to the station to Shirahige shrine, don’t take bus but walk with GPS. The way is just incredible with village, other shrines so quiet and monkey looking at you from the forest behind rice fields…

    Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan. Faced to Biwa lake it has many historical monument and cultural hotspots. In summer the big firework event is so famous to attract many people. In Biwako Hall many world class concerts and plays are performed. Local fishes and sakes are another charm for visitors. Once you come here you cannot help missing this unforgettable city.

    At first I thought I might be bored but there’s so much to do! It’s a little difficult to travel from place to place; lots of walking. But there’s lots of history, friendly people, and beautiful nature.

    Otsu is a great location to get away from the city life of Japan. It is quite peaceful here and is located next to a large lake (lake biwa) which is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Overall, this location is clean and quiet, different from the bustling cities of Japan and i would recommend this place to those who enjoy a scenic walk and a calm environment.

    Beautiful spot near the lake.

    Beautiful spot near the lake. Perfect for those that want to stay a little out of the hustle and bussle, in perhaps a bigger / better value for money hotel, but still within close proximity to Kyoto.

    Everything.The service provided is top notch even though we are using English as a medium of speak. The room is spacious and the bath provided is just so good. Since we're ordering Halal menu set, I would say the menu is fantastic as it includes seafood, beef and chicken which is hard to find for halal option here. The shuttle service also is quite helpful as there is no medium of transportation to the Ryoukan from the station and a mobile phone is provided to contact them at the station.

    I was really impressed with the facilities - the bathroom and showers were very modern and clean, good lockers to store your valuables, free towels and slippers (in some places you have to rent them) staff were friendly and there was a nice restaurant next to the hostel. I had nice pizza and beer! I was cycling the Biwaichi and there was a cheap cycle storage place just across the road from the hotel. It's also in a good location for the cycle route.

    A wonderful and inviting ryokan experience. The room, the view, the staff, and the meals were exquisite. We stayed on the 5th floor and had a personal hot spring bath on the balcony of the room, overlooking the bay. The dinner was a 10/10, each course was carefully curated. The garden on the grounds had beautiful flowers, and many photo opportunities. Additionally, the hotel provides a shuttle to and from the station. I would stay here again.

    This was our first experience with an Onsen (and first trip to Japan). We paid extra for the deluxe room with an en-suite Onsen bath and it was AWESOME! The room comes with dinner and breakfast, both were excellent and it was fun to get dressed up in the traditional Japanese clothing (provided by hotel). Everything was better than expected/pictured online, very happy to have selected this property.

    The included breakfast and dinner was a delicious, visually amazing traditional Japanese spread. This place is a must for anyone wishing to get the authentic ryokan experience, though you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone a bit to wear the provided yukata and go to the public bath. Easy transit to Kyoto means you can stay outside the city on your visit.

    Near to Otsu station. Hotel still provides shuttle service regularly to Otsu Station. Kyoto station is only 2 stations away. We were able to visit nearby Unari n Uji. Biwako Lake is beautiful and there were firework on one of the nights. Glad that we stayed in Biwako Hotel with room facing the lake.

    I loved the view from my room, the staff were all accomodating and nice (even when I can only speak basic Japanese, they tried their best to communicate everything as clearly as possible). The location was very convenient with the lovely park across the road and grocery store just around the corner.

    General experience, Excellent. I loved every details of this hotel, food, hot spring, service and it's room. We spent entire day in the hotel and could not get enough. The dinner and breakfast is not cheap but definitely worth a try, the most delicate food I have in Japan during this journey.

    The innkeeper is an artist and she acts as your surrogate mother while you are here. Be sure to ask for room 203 which is set up as a traditional Japanese living room. She and her husband got up in the middle of the night to see me off. I couldn't recommend more highly.

    The place was incredibly peaceful. It's situated near Bodai Temple, and in the morning, I accompanied some people in their worship rituals at the temple. Experiencing this Japanese-style garden worship was truly a new and enriching experience for me.
