Hotels near Lake Biwa Museum

"The best stay of our whole trip in Japan by far! Great amenities especially after a long day of walking and exploring"

"Great stuff "

"My sister and I had such a wonderful and relaxing time here after the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. We got the room with the private bath which we loved! "

"Wonderful view from our room! They upgrade our room to Suite, which was just fabulous. "

"Nice staff, good location with great view at reasonable price. Nice lake view public bath."

"No AC in over 30C degree. Sweating like a dog trying to get some sleep "

"The property itself was wonderful. We stayed in one of the superior rooms with its own private hot spring bath. The staff were wonderful as well and everything about the hotel was great. What we found though is there really isn’t much to do around the area and not many restaurants that aren’t at the mall. So if you stay here, plan your day to just hang out at the hotel and eat at the hotel. There is a lot to do from the planetarium to renting bikes, to playing tennis and chilling in the baths."

"Private onsen on the balcony with the lake view has been a wonderful experience"

"This is a fabulous hotel to stay at. My family and I loved the experience. Staff met us before the door and used a cart to bring our luggage inside. We were met immediately and offered comfortable seats and asked for our passports. They found our reservation and checked us in. They noticed that one of our children would be celebrating his birthday during our stay and brought him gifts of chopsticks. The service was stellar and continued at this high level throughout our stay and beyond (they shipped items we left to our next stop on our tour). The rooms are comfortable, very clean, and roomy. The mattresses and pillows are very comfortable. We found origami cranes on our bed, which was a lovely touch. Breakfast exceeded our expectations.There was a first course of breads with a bento box. We ordered the American breakfast but it came with very Japanese touches: salad with local greens, a salmon sushi, and several others. The main course was equally wonderful. The hotel property abuts a shrine and they created a garden space that was as nice as the shrine. We were with walking distance to the Philosophers Path. We used the buses to get to the city center. Stops for the various lines were a few steps from the hotel and just around the corner. We also walked there and back on our first evening. The hotel staff were gracious and efficient in getting us a taxi reservation to the main train station and communicated our destination to our driver."
