Hikone | Enjoy a relaxing soak while admiring the stunning views of Hikone Castle---Hikone Castle Resort & Spa.

Hikone Castle Resort & Spa Arguably the most luxurious hot spring hotel in Hikone ✓ Prime location with exceptional views Located right next to the entrance of Hikone Castle, the hotel offers breathtaking views across the moat. Whether you're in the lounge area, the hot spring bath area, or even waiting for the elevator, you can enjoy the picturesque scenery of Hikone Castle. The beauty of the castle changes with the seasons—lush green in summer, vibrant red in autumn, snowy white in winter, and cherry blossoms in spring. ✓ Soak in the hot springs while gazing at the castle—a perfect indulgence The large bath area offers a direct view of the castle's main keep, allowing you to fully enjoy the soothing Shirami-no-Yu hot spring while admiring the beauty of Hikone Castle. The facility includes a warm water pool, a silky carbonated pool, and heated stone bath chairs. Be sure to soak both in the morning and evening to experience the castle's charm during the day and its illuminated splendor at night. ✓ Elegant and understated public spaces While the hotel has a vintage feel, it exudes grandeur and sophistication. The best views are reserved for the public areas. The first-floor lobby is elegantly luxurious, while the second-floor lounge is styled like a library bar, offering tea and even Kirin bottled beer—a delightful treat after a relaxing soak. ✓ Rooms and dining—an impeccable experience The rooms offer two types of views: one facing the castle and the other facing the mountains. I booked a standard double room for NT$2,600, which provided both city and mountain views. The room is about 5 pings in size, and the bed is exceptionally comfortable. Breakfast is a standard Japanese-Western buffet, while lunch and dinner feature options like Omi beef. Highly recommended! Make sure to stay at Hikone Castle Resort & Spa when visiting Hikone Castle. It offers a first-class experience at an affordable price, ensuring an unforgettable travel experience.
