"It was very clean and well-cleaned. The living environment around the station is convenient, with a medium-sized supermarket, two Seven-Elevens, and a Starbucks right next door. You can do your laundry, and toothbrushes and towels are also provided.
Kyoto is a 10-minute subway ride away. It felt more convenient than many accommodations in Kyoto city. Otsu is full of nature and has a calm atmosphere.
I recommend it so much that I don't want to let too many people know about it (lol). The staff were all very kind, and it was fun to have the restaurant help me check in. I'm very grateful!
Very clean and well-maintained. The area around the station is super convenient—there’s a mid-sized supermarket and two 7-Elevens right next door, plus a Starbucks. Laundry is available, and they provide toothbrushes and plenty of towels.
It only takes 10 minutes by subway to reach Kyoto, and honestly, it felt even more convenient than many places inside Kyoto. Otsu has a peaceful, nature-filled atmosphere that’s quite refreshing.
Honestly, I almost don’t want to share this gem—worried the price might go up! Big thanks to the kind staff. Fun detail: even the restaurant team helped with check-"

"The first time I lived in the orthodox squatter house, I was pleasantly surprised. The house is very distinctive. The sister of the hotel will not communicate with the translator because of the text but has been communicating with the translator. The breakfast is delicious. Everyone must order breakfast in advance. There is also a vinyl dish machine in the living room. It is very nostalgic and sentimental. Otsu is really a very quiet town, and on the last day of 2024 I spent a very peaceful day here."

All rooms have lake view. The quiet lakeside hotel.
"I stayed for sightseeing in Hiei Sakamoto.
Since I live in Osaka, I'm used to seeing Lake Biwa, but when I stand on the shore of the lake, I can feel the wonderfulness.
The night view of the city on the opposite shore (Kusatsu or something?) was beautiful at night.
The building is quite old, but the room is super clean!
The chairs and washbasins in the bathroom were smooth, the toilet folder was shiny, the dryer cord was wrapped cleanly without any madness, and the bedding on the bed was really comfortable.
Speaking of cleanliness, the star 5 is not enough at all. I've seen the perfectly arranged room for the first time in a long time. Access to the inn is accessible by bus from Otsu station as well as from JR Karasaki station or taxi.
Although the number is small, you can arrive in 3 minutes on foot from the nearest bus stop (Ishikawa Town)."

KKitVery nice. The owner is very nice and helpful. He is able to speak English. Moreover, the private Onsen room is really impressive. Hope I can go next time.
GGuest UserThis time we stayed with 6 people. It's not a big house, but I was grateful for the sufficient number of rooms and the cleanliness above all. The corner 々 was well cleaned and I was able to use it with peace of mind. I was able to contact the owner by the day and ask what I didn't know. Thank you for your kind response. Thank you very much. ※ Uber eats was also available and there was Lawson nearby. The nearest station also has a big supermarket and a stub.
GGuest UserI didn't notice it when I made a reservation, but it was a love hotel.
However, the key handling was fuben, but I was able to stay without inconvenience except for that.
RRoger MichaelOk. First of all leave your expectations at home expecting hotel level service. Once you've done that if you want a cheap but clean place to stay this is it. This is a seinenkan - a facility for youth and youth-related organizations to conduct independent study and recreational activities, many of which have basic accommodation facilities but higher grade facilities than youth hostels. They are located all over Japan. I stayed in a tatami mat room on a floor with shared toilet facilities. The ground floor has a large communal bath - obviously separate for male and females. They have lights out at 11 p.m. and guests must return by the same time. There is a very modern cafe onsite serving cheap breakfasts (see photos) but the cafe closes by 6 p.m. There is a convenience store 10 minutes walk away so I suggest you buy snacks and beverages en route from JR Ishiyama station. For dinner, there is a family restaurant - good value and okay food - about 6 minutes walk away.
The seinenkan is located on a small island by a historic bridge. The views of the river inlet flowing into the main Lake Biwa is relaxing, lots of bird wildlife, and lots of rowers (the seinenkan is a water sports facility too). and the sunrise and sunset views are lovely.
The staff are very kind. It cost me ¥5,500 for one night and I will stay there again if I have the opportunity.
