Biwako Hotel

📍 2-40 Hamamachi, Otsu
★★★★★ 9.3 (638 reviews)

"This was our family of six's second stay at the Biwako Hotel. Everything was just as wonderful as our previous visit two years ago. The lobby staff were incredibly warm, polite, and proactive in their service. The breakfast quality consistently exceeds expectations. From the hotel's facilities and scenic views to the convenient shuttle service to Otsu JR Station, and even the beautiful lake view while waiting for the shuttle, it's clear why this hotel is considered the best in Shiga Prefecture. Most importantly, the hotel is very close to one of only three PGA TOUR shops in all of Japan, where you can find a wide selection of high-quality golf equipment."

BIWAKO HANAKAIDO

📍 1 Chome-1-3 Ogoto, Otsu
★★★★ 9.4 (102 reviews)

"The location is very quiet and calm. For those who want a break from the main cities this place is highly recommended. The hotel picked us up from the nearby station and the communication was very active and accommodating (I emailed them when we were in Kyoto station in advanced and once we reached the local station, their shuttle was already waiting for us 🥹). Biwako Valley is near so it was our only planned big activity in the area aside from walking along the quiet road and trying convenience store food and using the 24 hour laundry place nearby. The food is very healthy and you will experience traditional Japanese service (they prepared colorful Yukatas for us and we wore them for bfast and dinner in their restaurant) . The private onsen was great and you can also use the public bath in the hotel itself. I cannot list everything but our experience here was truly amazing!"

★★★★★ 8.9 (85 reviews)

"Wow! What a wonderful experience at Biwako Grand Hotel. Truly the most relaxing part of my Japan trip, the onsen was very beautiful, with fantastic views. We didn't end up getting a pure lake view, but it was still a beautiful and relaxing experience in the tatami room. It was a tad pricey, even for off-season, but with a wonderful kaiseki dinner, it was still a great time."

"The portions for dinner and breakfast were very generous, even though they were described as "light set meals." The front desk staff and waitresses were all very friendly. Because the hotel is small, it had a homey atmosphere and I was able to relax. The cute mascot dog came to see me off."

"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."

No Onsen) (2) Old and historical but very clean and tidy (3) Hieizan and the Enryakuji Template is the most comfortable, natural, silent, zen (you name it) place in Japan after Koyasan. The two mountains full of Buddhist wisdom. A must visit."

Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho

"Style. Converted traditional machiyas scattered throughout town, Japanese Nordic fusion Setting. Otsu, Southern end of Lake Biwa, only 20 minutes from Kyoto by car or two stations away Explore. Otsu is a quiet languid town with lots of interesting historical buildings. I was here a week before the "Otsu Festival", 1 of the three major festivals in the lake country and an important intangible folk cultural property designated by the country. 2 of the 13 Hikiyamas floats were being assembled near the Hotel’s reception (Ohmiya) & it was fun to listen to the kids practice their music for the festival. Hotel Koo also offers local tours for free and really encourages guests to eat out, shop etc. to revitalize Otsu. I quite enjoyed the walk and visit to the Mitsuhashi Setsuko Museum of Art, and just strolling Otsu. Rooms. I booked the entry level room which was 32 sq meter only. They have rooms/villas that are up to 100 square meter. My small but immaculate room had no closet but a clothing rack. No slippers either and only two tea bags were provided. I was happy with the bathtub but next time I’ll book a bigger room/villa @ the hotel. The day checking in I had trouble reaching the hotel by phone. Once there, staff were nice and helpful. Refreshing chestnut parfait at checkin and free sake provided in the evening. Food & drinks. Hotel booked Kasen for me, where I had a very satisfying hyperlocal meal. Prices. Value for money @ $174 Rating. 4/5"

"One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. The hotel feels grand and worth the price. Room was spacious and comfortable. The onsen was amazing with multiple options such as a sauna room, an outside jacuzzi style onsen and the main inside onsen. The food provided (breakfast and dinner) was a traditional Japanese style multi course meal. Highly recommended! Room also had a lovely view of Lake Biwa and a comfortable outside bath."

Biwako Hotel ★★★★★
"I used a pre-purchased room voucher, and it was such an amazing deal! The hotel is right near Otsu Station and is absolutely beautiful. The room was huge, with a direct view of Lake Biwa. Unfortunately, I only stayed one night this time and didn't get to fully enjoy the hotel's facilities. Plus, the staff were incredibly service-oriented. We mistakenly thought the drop-off point for the shuttle at Otsu Station was the pick-up point, and the driver kindly took our luggage and explained that the pick-up was across the street, without being rigid about making us go there. When we arrived at the hotel, the concierge immediately took our luggage, and by the time we checked in, our bags were already in the room. My daughter went to buy something from a vending machine and met a staff member who bowed 90 degrees to her; she came back telling me how polite they were... Even though it was only one night, it was the most beautiful memory of my Kansai trip."

Biwako Ryokusuitei ★★★★
"Ryokusuitei’s environment, service, and facilities were excellent. Our pre-stored luggage was promptly delivered to the room. The private bath room included breakfast, which was delicious with many options, plus a small stove to grill seafood yourself. While the private bath isn’t completely secluded—people in a building across, though quite far away, can see in—the stunning view of Lake Biwa more than makes up for it. The large public bath is open nearly 24 hours, featuring a relaxing lounge area afterward, free ice cream, and complimentary coffee in the lobby during the day. Upon check-in, we received shopping discount coupons that could be used to purchase small towels, scented balms, and storage bags."

Biwako Grand Hotel Kyo-Ohmi ★★★★★
"We stayed one night at Biwako Grand Hotel Kyoomi and had a generally relaxing experience. The traditional tatami room was comfortable and suitable for staying with a young child. The hotel has a classic Japanese ryokan atmosphere, and the area near Lake Biwa is very peaceful. Staff were polite and helpful, and the shuttle service was convenient. Breakfast was simple but acceptable. One suggestion is that it would be appreciated if room arrangements could better match the photos shown on the booking page, as this would help set clearer expectations. Overall, a calm stay for travelers seeking a traditional experience."
