Biwako Ryokusuitei

An absolutely wonderful stay! From the private hot spring in the room to every little detail throughout the hotel, everything was perfect. The staff were warm and friendly. I was 100% satisfied with my stay and will definitely be back.

Overall, the room experience was quite good and offered great value for money. Both the hot springs and the hotel have been recently renovated, so the facilities feel relatively new. The unique lake-view hot springs provide a different kind of scenery to enjoy. Both dinner and breakfast were quite distinctive.

This hotel is excellent, with a luxurious retro style. They offer a shuttle service, and you can even call them from Ogoto Onsen Station for a pick-up. The location is great, right by the lake with beautiful scenery. Both dinner and breakfast were superb. I'll definitely be back!

This Japanese onsen hotel met my expectations. The breakfast was incredibly rich and featured local specialties, and the service was meticulous. The hot spring facilities included indoor and outdoor baths, as well as a sauna. It's definitely a place I'd choose for another vacation.

Stepping out of JR Ogoto-onsen Station, I spotted the shuttle bus across the street, waiting at a red light. I quickly waved, and to my surprise, the driver motioned for me to wait, then circled back to pick us up – incredibly grateful for that! 😊 The drive to the hotel took about 5 minutes. Upon entering the lobby, I noticed a slightly odd smell. The staff asked us to take a seat in the lobby. After checking us in and confirming our meal times, they showed us to our room. There was no odd smell in the room or restaurant areas. They even helped with our luggage – truly excellent service. The private hot spring in the room had continuously flowing water; I'm not sure if it's recirculated, but you can see Lake Biwa from there. The summer dinner cuisine was delicious! 😋
