Hotel terme a Ōtsu

My partner and I thorougly enjoyed our stay at Biwako Hotel. All rooms face the beautiful Lake Biwako and the view was perfect. We even caught a snowfall on one of our mornings here. The staff was great and always friendly even when there was a slight language barrier. We tried their breakfast as well which was really good. Highly recommend renting their electric bikes and cycling around the lake during sunset. And also going for the Lake Biwako Cruise! The hotel onsen is wonderful as well, we will definitely be back

L'esperienza è stata grande. Il personale è amichevole e bello. Il colazione e la cena sono forniti sono sputous. Forniscono servizi di autobus di navetta che collegano a diverse stazioni JR, quindi non c'è bisogno di prendere un taxi.

It was a great stay at this ryokan! The hotel is able to arrange a car to fetch you from the JR station. You can call them using a dedicated phone at the station which is used to contact the different ryokans. The car arrived in 10mins or so. The ride to the ryokan was also less than 10mins. The hotel also fetched us to the station on the last day of our stay. The ryokan itself is homely and cozy. We were greeted by an english speaking staff who introduced us to the amenities of the ryokan. There was also a nice welcome tea and matcha chocolate. Our bags were brought to our room as well during this time. The room is spacious and cozy. The hotel prepared 2 welcome biscuits in the room which was a nice personal touch. The room has a nice living room and a great view of Lake Biwa. Recommend to catch the sunrise over the lake! There are 2 normal beds as well as futon beds (need to set up yourself). Both are comfortable. The hotel also prepared pretty yukata for both female and male guests which you can wear during the stay. There are 4 different designs for ladies, and one design for the guys. You can request for different size if the one in the room doesn’t fit you. There is also a full length mirror and a mini dressing area at the side of the living room. It was fun dressing up in the yukata! The toilet, basin, shower and hot tub areas are all separate. The toilet is a little small, but the basin and mirror area is very spacious. The shower area is quite small as well and the shower head is rather low so you need to hold the shower head if you wish to wash up while standing. There is a small stool given for you to sit down though. The hot tub area is semi-outdoor and you can see Lake Biwa. But it is quite small (only good for one person). It was too cold so we didn’t use the hot tub. Instead, we booked the private onsen for 50mins. The private onsen has a private toilet and dressing area which is equipped with hairdryer, body lotion etc. There is a water dispenser as well if you need to hydrate yourself. The onsen area has a washing area, and the hot tub area is spacious for 2 person. There are privacy screens around the onsen area but there is a small gap to let in cold air for ventilation. Wish there is a good view from the private onsen but it was still enjoyable! Dinner and breakfast was Kaiseki style, and the meals were one of the highlights for my husband and I. We really enjoyed the courses which are clean tasting yet wholesome, fresh and flavourful. It was such a sumptuous treat! The ryokan also has a souvenir shop if you wish to buy anything back. Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed the stay here and we agreed this was one of the main highlights of our 12 days trip in Japan. Highly recommend!

C'è un autobus Dajin all'hotel. È necessario prenotare una telefonata precoce. Il servizio giapponese non ha detto che è stato in viaggio in Giappone. Questo viaggio di famiglia è stato definito come cena precoce, la varietà è molto meglio, è meglio per pochi, haha

非常喜歡，不比湯元館差，而且價格不錯，廚師長料理水平很高，就是裝修有點老氣，感覺像日劇，温泉袍子比湯元館好看，晚飯無敵好吃！和牛！香菇飯！壽喜鍋！吃的撐死！但是早飯不太好吃，醬瓜和國內一個味道，我以為遠離上海就吃不到了，結果一口就是家裡的醬瓜醬蘿蔔，但是拍照很出片！各種色彩都有，就是味道被家鄉上海的小籠和小餛飩還有煎餅果子秒殺了。湯元館的温泉很舒服！就是有個歐巴桑早上一直進來打掃温泉！把我嚇得顧前不顧後，真是太尷尬了！

온천을 할 수 있다. 호텔 자체는 오래되었지만 조식도 맛있고 좋다. 특히 인근의 히에이잔의 엔라꾸지는 정말 좋은 곳이다. 다시 한 번 더 가보고 싶은 곳이다.

Angolo 々 pulito e pulito. La cena e la colazione sono nella stanza privata con le scarpe, mia vecchia madre è felice di mangiare.Il cibo è anche pieno di cibo delizioso. Il caldo nella grande piscina pubblica è anche ２, rispettivamente, maschio e femmina, quindi sono soddisfatto della generosità e della grazia.

Tutti gli agenti sono molto carini, e hanno autobus per la stazione JR. Tuttavia, i turisti stranieri con tatuaggi dovrebbero notare che non possono usare bagno pubblico, ma saranno ancora a carico della tassa di servizio.

Anche se il linguaggio non è comprensibile, può ancora sentire l'entusiasmo del personale di servizio.Non c'è bagno nella stanza prenota, basta un grande casinò.Il grande casinò gratuito ha parte esterna, ma non c'è paesaggio.

nice service with a great onsen
