A very traditional Japanese ryokan. Excellent, intimate facility with extremely kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was beautifully presented. You felt completely comfortable experiencing a slice of the real Japan, but with all the modern facilities. Beautiful location near Lake Biwa in the suburbs of Kyoto .

    Enjoy the 1st day in Kyoto.

    Enjoy the 1st day in Kyoto. Do the Hop On Hop Off bus (both Blue and Red Lines), which stops at all the major sites. Then train to Otsu for relaxing stay at Lake Biwa. Go on a sightseeing / luncheon cruise or organised trips - example the cable car at Sakamoto. Plenty of places to eat including 36th floor of Lake Biwa Otsu Princess Hotel with great views.

    From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile walk of the property. Only one restaurant off site in that mile two convenience stores and if you walk a bit further a pretty mellow "redlight" district

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh.

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh. But go to have a walk behind the hotel. The countryside is like a Miyazaki movie getting real ! You can go near from there : temples, beach, ski station with incredible view… But with the hotel’s shuttle and the station you have Kyoto, very near, Nara, Osaka a little farther. You’ve got all Kansaï by JR… A good tip : when you go to the station to Shirahige shrine, don’t take bus but walk with GPS. The way is just incredible with village, other shrines so quiet and monkey looking at you from the forest behind rice fields…

    Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan...

    Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan. Faced to Biwa lake it has many historical monument and cultural hotspots. In summer the big firework event is so famous to attract many people. In Biwako Hall many world class concerts and plays are performed. Local fishes and sakes are another charm for visitors. Once you come here you cannot help missing this unforgettable city.

    Staff were very friendly and kept my bag for me while I went traveling around the city. They even upgraded my room to a twin (which has never happened to me before) so I got to enjoy a larger room. Beds were comfy, complimentary water was provided. Even the VOD was free (this is usually a paid service, so was a nice surprise). Hotel is also located a stone's throw away from the local station, and has a convenience store right next door.
