Koke Musu Inn

"A lovely place, unique. Very interesting decor. Well organised with a lot packed in to a small space. Bar and pool room, plus a dining area. Room was very well thought out, with everything needed. All was spotlessly clean and we were cooked a very tasty omi beef meal for dinner. The location was good and the owners extremely kind and helpful. An unusual and interesting hotel, well worth a visit. Highly recommended."

BIWAKO HANAKAIDO

"If you want to live a totally Japanese experience, I highly recommend it. You have the option of sleeping on futons, wearing the typical yutaka to go to dinner with a tasting menu only suitable for lovers of authentic Japanese food or people who like to try exotic foods. Very clean and with a small but very pleasant water and spa area. Highly recommended!"

View Lodge Biwa

"Booked this stay to explore the areas around Lake Biwa. Reception was warm and friendly with an English-speaking host who provided us with the information for the stay. We booked the western style room as we preferred an attached bathroom, however the room condition was outdated and needs refurbishment, like peeling surfaces. The Japanese style room looked better when we caught a glimpse during check-out time. Nevertheless, location and amenities were great. Location is near major eateries and commercial centres by a short drive."

Ayaha Lakeside Hotel

"The hotel is in an excellent location, just a 5-minute walk from the subway station and shopping mall. The gym is well-equipped, making it a well-deserved first choice for both business and leisure trips."

Holiday Afternoon

"The hotel is located within the Biwako Resort area and requires a vehicle. It's a guesthouse, and the staff were very friendly. Since I stayed in a detached house, there was plenty of free parking outside, which was very convenient. The room was very clean and had a private onsen (hot spring bath)."

Ogoto Onsen Yunoyado Komolebi

"This time I went with my two babies. The hotel has a car that picks up from the JR station, which is convenient and fast. The hotel's dinner and breakfast are very rich, and I personally think they are delicious."

Ogotoso

"The service is really good, and the breakfast with dinner is also very good. There is no independent bathroom in the room, and the sound insulation is very poor. You can hear clearly the dishes being arranged and cars passing by in the corridor outside. You will be given 40 minutes of private hot spring time, but the hot spring you are assigned depends on luck. I saw that there is also a room key for an outdoor hot spring. Attached is the view from the window of the lake view room."

Yumotokan

"Very good onsen hotel, 20 minutes JR from Kyoto, after arriving at the train station you can call the hotel to arrange a free shuttle, 5 minutes drive to the hotel, very convenient. Maybe July is the off-season for hot spring hotels, and this stay was very value for money, choosing a room with a private bath, plus a one-night-two package. The room is very large, the private bath on the terrace is the kind of non-stop running water, without having to turn on the tap yourself. The room was very clean and tidy, the drinks in the mini bar were all free. The staff has a sweet smile and is considerate. The hotel has four public hot springs, each with its own characteristics, especially the Moonlight Hot Spring open-air hot spring located in Paradise, where you can watch the stars and moon while soaking in the hot springs and have an unbeatable lake view during the day. Very enjoyable. If you visit Kyoto next time, you may choose to stay at this hotel for two nights and enjoy the hotel facilities."

Ofuro Café New Biwako Hotel

"I stayed for business, but I heard that the hotel had a public bath, so I made a reservation hoping to relax in a bath after work. The space was more comfortable than I expected, with a sauna and an open-air bath, and the food served within the facility was delicious. Breakfast was simple, but was included and I was able to relax thoroughly. I'd definitely like to use the hotel again if there is a machine available."

KKR Hotel Biwako

"The hotel is well located, right on the shores of Lake Biwa"

Kyo Oumi

"A relatively pleasant travel experience"
