Situated on the shores of Lake Biwa, Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel offers rooms with lake views, 7 restaurants and an outdoor pool. Lake cruises are available in front of the hotel. The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Otsu Train Station, which is a 9-minute train ride from JR Kyoto Train Station. My experience at the Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, whose genuine kindness and professionalism set the tone for a truly memorable stay. The team consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Whether it was assisting with local recommendations, accommodating special requests, or simply greeting guests with a warm smile, their dedication to hospitality was evident in every interaction. The hotel itself offers breathtaking views of Lake Biwa, and the serene atmosphere is ideal for both relaxation and exploration. But what truly sets this place apart is the people—courteous, attentive, and always ready to help with grace and efficiency. I wholeheartedly recommend the Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel to anyone seeking comfort, elegance, and exceptional service. It’s a place where you’re not just a guest—you’re genuinely cared for.

Only a 5-minute drive from JR Ogoto Onsen Station with the complimentary shuttle, hotel Yuzanso features Japanese-style rooms with a private open-air hot spring bath and spectacular views of Biwako Lake. The hotel also offers massage treatments and a sauna. JR Ogoto Onsen Station offers a direct transit in 20 minutes to Kyoto Station. The breakfast was very good, quite a variety. Tasty the Japanese way. The location is a bit far out but the train and their shuttle helped a lot. Place is nice and quiet to relax. As I am a Muslim I was happy to see that you have the Japan Halal certification so we feel confidant to come again and share news with family and friends. You also had souveniers but I had to scan one by one to see if it is halal.
