Each room has a lake view and is beautifully furnished. The Onsen are well equipped and you can sit in them while enjoying the view on the lake with a fresh breeze coming your way. Although somewhat limited in English, the staff was very committed to helping us in any matter. Definitely recommend visiting the lounge on the 10th floor for drinks (some are free in the evening) and a very pretty small shop, full of locally sourced products (culinary and small arts). After our evening Onsen round, the hotel offered amazing Soba to close the night. We took the breakfast in the morning and were not disappointed, as it features plenty of very delicious options.

Nice clean, relatively new room. Reception staff member was very helpful and handled the language barrier with ease. Good facilities like microwave and ice machine easy to find in the lobby. Great value and also included breakfast (can’t say what it was like because we missed it to catch our train).

    Hikone is mostly a student town with the castle, and close to the largest lake - Lake Biwa. The sports complex is pretty nice and cool too. I recommend coming here during Sakura for the castle or even snow fall. 1-2 days is enough for a stop for sure.

    Hikone is a pleasant place, but not one you should plan a trip around. Possibly best for a day trip. The atmosphere and climate is reminiscent of small cities in New England. The lake is pleasant, but if you're interested in kayaking you should try towns on the western shore of the lake, even though they're more expensive resort towns. Hikone castle is obviously the reason to come here, but there are a few nice local restaurants as well. Other than that, it's mostly auto shops and people revving the engines of their souped-up cars every night.

    Hikone Castle is not comparable to Himeji Castle, but its surrounded by many cherry trees. It must look gorgeous during the blossom season. And in the woods below one side of the castle, there are huge number of white birds. It's very impressive to see them returing to their nets in late afternoon. And we do like the lake sunset.

    Hikone is easily reached by Shinkansen from Tokyo with a short trip (5 minutes) in a local train. The town has much to offer - an island temple easily reached by boat; a hugely impressive feudal castle (1 of only 4 genuine castles still standing in Japan) with a good museum and surrounded by 2 moats and a beautiful stroll garden. Close to the castle is are attractive streets with good quality shops and some old houses as well. The town is comfortably quiet compared to the nearby Kyoto which is now like Venice and seriously overcrowded. The one disadvantage which the town could fix very easily is that the bus service does not have information on routes and stops in English unlike Kyoto. Finally the time to visit is late March early April when the cherry blossom for which Hikone is famous is in flower.

    Hikone is just the right distance from Kyoto when travelling by bicycle to ride around Lake Biwa. Its castle grounds turn pink in the spring cherry blossom season and reflect beautifully in the moat's waters. Other seasons have their own distinctive attractions. In all seasons the local beef is great, all you need is an appetite.

    Well positioned, very convenient and accommodating place. Very traditional building and fittings, absolutely stunning and in the shadow of a temple in the traditional part of the old city. Traditional service too, actually I think the owners live on-site so suited to Japanese but explained everything using a translation app. Delicious and affordable Japanese breakfast. Staff seemed surprised that we didn't leave straight after breakfast but understood.

    This is the best property from my trip - also one of the best I have stayed in Japan. The staffs are so kind and hospitable. The room and property are spotlessly clean. The view and the onsen are stunning and peaceful. I regret not booking for longer. I and my family cant say enough good things about this hotel. We love it so much

    The host was very friendly, provided lots of hot water for the room and gave me a lift to the station on the last day. The room was sufficient and I loved the hot stone bath. The location is a short walk to Hikone Castle in a quiet street, there are plenty of shops, restaurants, supermarket and a convenient store near by.

    Fantastic location right across from entrance to castle with great views from rooms on the castle side - it was especially fun to see the castle lit up at night from our room. Walking distance to everything. Lovely staff. Large buffet breakfast with Japanese and western options. Spa services were outstanding.
