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.
Nice castle and the lake. It will probably take just a day to see everything. There aren’t really much else to do, so I would recommend Hikone to those, who can’t go to Himeji or who really like castles. There are nice mountains as well, but this is another story.
I enjoyed walking around the castle and garden. I was surprised by how much there was to see at the castle grounds. I found myself intrigued by the architecture and most of all the view from the castle was amazing. You get a 360 view of the whole town including Lake Biwa.
Off the beaten tourist track, with just enough to do for a leisurely two day get-away. We had a rental car, and made our way to the Rainbow Line Summit Park, which had a spectacular 360 degree view of 5 lakes, each with a slightly different colour hue because of their different mineral content/concentration and depth.
Lovely small (by Japanese standards) town. Quiet, fantastic castle and grounds, nice views of the mountains surrounding Lake Biwa, nice temples on the nearby hills. Friendly people. Small enough that it's easy to walk most places. Lack of easy public transportation makes local travel further more difficult. Good area for birders, many species of waterfowl on the lake and in the castle moats. Not a great food selection.
The staff were amazing and helped me many times during my stay. The hotel was an excellent value and the location was across the street from the train station. I never heard any trains at night. I like that the hotel had a bike rack in lobby to keep my bike since I cycled around Lake Biwa.
The recommendation of room selection is non-smoking room. I’m the type of people who cannot bear smoke smell any more. Room is very clean which makes me satisfied. If I could have a travel in Hikone again. I’m sure that I will book this hotel again!
Wonderful location, host, and property. Very comfortable and cozy, impressive given how spacious the apartment is. Great bathroom/toilet/shower. Highly recommend.

That's a very local love hotel. Expect funny rooms with strange facilities.
The space is very big in the room. It is very comfortable.
The hotel is encouraging less use of single use products.
