Hot Springs Hotels in Otsu

"The hotel is a bit of a distance from the JR station, but the shuttle bus every 20 minutes is quite convenient. The view is absolutely beautiful; the balcony faces Lake Biwa, perfect for watching the sunset in peace and tranquility."

"Came to Lake Biwa and enjoyed a hot spring bath. The room was spacious, and the private onsen was spotless. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious; highly recommended. Perfect for a relaxing getaway."

"The Western-style room was spacious, with a large, comfortable bed. The onsen (hot springs) were excellent, with several to choose from, and the area wasn't crowded. The water was excellent, leaving my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. The hotel requires a meal plan; adding dinner upon arrival costs 10,000 yen per person. There are few restaurants nearby, but there's a yakiniku restaurant with excellent beef."

"The room faces Lake Biwa, and the autumn colors are beautiful. The Japanese-style room is quiet, clean and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner are excellent. The hotel staff is also very friendly and it is a pleasant holiday here. You can call the hotel for free pick-up at Ogoto Station."

"This spa hotel is pretty good. If you come by train, you can call the hotel to request a pick-up after you arrive at the station. The location is a little far from the station. The hotel is quite old, probably built in the 80s or 90s, and the facilities are well maintained. The room facilities are a bit old, and there is a lot of dust in some places, such as under the safe. The food is good, breakfast is buffet style. My hands and feet feel smooth after soaking in the hot spring."

"The Japanese-style room with street view, the hot spring on the first floor, it is very comfortable, the second floor eats, breakfast and dinner are very rich, the level of cuisine matching is no less than the level of high-end Japanese restaurants in Kyoto! At dinner, there will be a waiter to help open the bed. I haven't slept in the same room with my parents for many years. I still slept on one bed when I was young, with three beds side by side, so warm. The hotel owner can speak some English, free pick-up and drop-off to JR Okoto Onsen Station and Hieizan Station, and free pick-up and drop-off to Hieisan Cable Car Station Close to Lake Biwa Harbor, opposite to Lake Biwa Hot Spring Park, you can enjoy the hot spring foot pool for free"

"I doubted there was a hot spring until I stayed there. It was the best hot spring at the end of my trip around Lake Biwa. I thought the bedding was dirty because it was old. I was very satisfied with the hot spring and the food.^_^"

"Hotel location is good, just by the lake"

"Facilities: The room size is quite spacious, with a separate bedroom and dining area. There are also two restrooms, and outside is a private hot spring tub. Overall, the facilities are well-maintained. Cleanliness: Acceptable. Environment: Very good. You can see Lake Biwa right from the room. And you absolutely must try the large communal hot spring bath. Especially in winter or on a rainy day, when it's raining or snowing outside and you're soaking in the super warm hot spring – it's incredibly comfortable, truly indescribable. Service: After exiting the JR station, if you call the hotel, a car will come to pick you up. However, that phone is really well-hidden; it took us a while to find it. The drive to the hotel takes about 10 minutes. The staff's service attitude is very good. They also escort you to your room and thoroughly explain each feature and how to use it. Check-out is at 10 AM, but most hot spring ryokans in Japan have this check-out time. Dining: We booked the two-meal plan, breakfast and dinner. The variety was quite rich, and the taste was decent, within expectations. Overall, the dining service was pretty good. Room service is also available; the latest you can order late-night snacks is 9:30 PM. Room service food is absolutely delicious! And it's not expensive at all, the prices are the same as outside. Overall, our stay at this hot spring ryokan was very comfortable. For those who can, I recommend staying two nights. On the second day, you can explore Biwako Valley, which is quite close to the hotel. It definitely won't disappoint (provided the weather is good; if the weather's bad, don't go)."

"Despite the language barrier, you can still feel the enthusiasm of the service staff. There is no bathroom in the room booked this time, a large bath is enough. The free large bath has an outdoor part but no view."
