Hot spring Hotels in Otsu

I booked an executive room with an independent open hot spring and a halal menu. The spacious room has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake. The dinner is a lot of dishes and delicious! From steamed crabs to thinly sliced beef, you will definitely have a range of cuisines to choose from. I plan to do it again next winter.

Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

The room faces Lake Biwa and is quite beautiful. The area is quite large for Japan. The bed is comfortable. I slept on the tatami for many days. It feels great to lie on the big bed. The hot spring is also very good. My skin will be smooth after soaking. It would be better if they can provide ice milk. The pick-up bus is very convenient I booked a hotel with dinner included. The buffet provided for dinner did not have many varieties. There was not even a seafood sashimi. The beef place provided mediocre food and the Western pastry was pretty good.

When visiting Kyoto, we wanted to enjoy some time in an onsen resort so we decided to spend two nights in Ogoto Onsen. After checking the details in their website, we booked a ”Biwa no kaze”room with private onsen and view of Lake Biwako. And we were not disappointed. The room looks newly renovated, and is very spacious with two beds and sitting area plus a tatami room. They offer different dinner packages, and we have chosen crab with steak as the main dishes for the first night, and lobster with shabu-shabu the second night. The foods were of very high quality, tasted and looked very nice. The breakfast buffet was very good with a wide selection of different items. The ryokan is excellent in nearly all aspects. We would stay here again when we next visit Kyoto.

２ In early morning, we interrupted you on a lunch course with a bath on Sunday. The location is located on the height of Yamate in Yukoto Onsen hot spring, and there is an entrance from the national route to the back street, so if you don't pay attention, you will pass by. There is a building at the top of the slope of the steep slope of the exclusive installation road. It was a car use, but when you arrive at the hotel, the staff will meet you. It was only lunch, but it was a care. Once I received tea service in the lounge, the staff here is a blonde woman, Japanese is ok. Just came up the steep slope, and the view from the lounge is very good. When I moved to the restaurant because I was called ready, only I 々 a pair in a wide space. I was wrapped in a sorry mood. The lunch you received was a Japanese dish with a small pot. I felt so much because I heard that there were many dishes that were served a little bit on a small vessel, and it was a popular course for women. However, there was an impression that the small bowl dishes had many things to make, and it was said that this area was suitable for the price. After lunch, the next bath. The black clothes male staff at the front desk gave us a guide to the public bath. The bath consists of a large inner bath and an open air surrounded by a wall, a sauna for ４～５ people, and the hot water is wet overall. I think the quality of the spring is weak alkaline spring, but it seems to be a hot water that can feel a little wet. The sauna is a general dry sauna and has a small water bath. １ I enjoyed the bath for about an hour and was seen by several staff as well as when I came and left the hotel. It was a stay of about ３ hours in total, but it was more than meals and baths, and it was a concern for each staff. It is never a cheap inn, but considering the quality of the service, I think most of the guests are convinced and returned. I think there are few opportunities to use at the accommodation because the house is close, but I feel like staying once. Thank you.

The infection measures were also thorough. The staff was also efficient, and the hot springs were very good hot water. I was grateful to be able to take a bath 24 hours a day. I think the staff are also hard to prevent infection, but I'd like you to do your best in the future. The food was very delicious, and I was thrilled to have such a good hotel so close, and I was able to spend a relaxing time. Thank you very much. Also, I would love to hear from you.

Lake Biwa has been here before, so it is not on the lakeside, but I used this inn with a good evaluation of Cospa. There is no elevator in the building and the stairs are a bit steep. Clean Japanese modern room, Wi-Fi can be used in the room. I was happy to have a sofa chair. The bath is only an inner bath, so I also used the bath at the Yugenkan next door (600 yen for use). You will go to Yuyuankan and walk through the corridor on the lobby floor. The bath in Yuyuankan was large and very splendid and there were several types. There is a guide in the building so it is easy to understand. The garden open-air bath is a beautiful and elegant bath with waterfalls and moss. Also, from the open-air bath on the 11th floor, you can see the wonderful view of Lake Biwa overlooking 180 degrees. It was good that there was a washroom and a washroom area with a dryer in the open-air bath. The inner bath and open-air bath on the 8th floor were also large and good. I didn't enter, but there is a bath in one place later. If it is not a rainy day, I recommend using a bath in the sister house even if you pay 600 yen. Very clean bath area is also equipped with amenities, so I am especially happy for women. Well, it was dinner, but every item was delicious. The curry round fried and the scallops were especially delicious. It seemed a little unfortunate that there was no sashimi, but it was too much quantity and quality in any case. However, although it was a reasonable inn, alcohol was high in a luxury inn, and it was a little for us. The bottle of sake and shochu was from 3900 yen. If you offered 300cc of local sake at least 1000 yen, I think I tried various things (after all, I made it a shochu bottle that was not local sake). Breakfast was also a delicious Japanese food, rice, juice, etc. were Viking forms. No coffee (there was a paid coffee machine in the lobby). It is an inn with a reasonable price setting by omitting the service, but especially from the front desk male staff, I felt high hospitality. I was happy to be polite and kind.

There is a shuttle bus from Otsu to the hotel. You have to make an early phone reservation. The Japanese service has nothing to say. I have been on a business trip to Japan. This family trip, the breakfast and dinner are set. The variety is better. The victory is less. Haha.

I thought I would spend New Year's Eve with my family and took care of Mr. Kyoomi. From Kyoto to ２０ minutes, the transfer bus is operated from the piston station to the piston station, and the attendant will meet, and the reception will be guided to the reception, and the other attendant will guide to the room. The room was １５ tatami ＋ room between the open-air bath on the 4th floor of Kyoto OMI. I was able to stay with adult ６ people. It was New Year's Eve on the day, and it was almost full, but the public bath was large and crowded, and I was able to spend it slowly. Nakai's response was humorous and there was no one, and the dishes were volume, and the OMI beef shabu shabu was very delicious. The open-air bath in the room also saw Lake Biwa with snowy scenery. The first sunrise was also seen from the edge of Lake Biwa, and we were able to celebrate a good new year. I would like to visit again.

The location is along Route 1, so it's easy to find. However, the convenience store (Sebuile) is a little far on foot. You can go to the Ofuro Cafe next door from the hotel without having to go outside. Ofuro Cafe's popular play (Ohatsu) was really exciting. Recommended! The room is auto-locked and uses a card key, so the toilet and sink are outside the room (shared) so if you don't bring your card, you'll be locked out, so be careful! When I returned, the TV was turned off, which was quite annoying. Is it obvious? The rest is quiet and full. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of Japanese and Western options.
