Everything was great. The staff were really friendly and made us feel at home, the location was excellent and central, and the room was clean and comfortable. The snacks were a great touch after a long day of travel. We will definitely love to stay again in the future.

We loved our stay at hotel koo. It was the perfect combination between japanese traditional house and modern scandinave touch. We felt so at peace in this room, a perfect moment of relaxation. Bed was really confortable and the room so big. The staff were super welcoming and it’s nice to have free homemade snacks and drinks. I definitely recommend this hotel to design lovers

A beautiful building in a quiet location, and despite my minimal Japanese skills I was welcomed in and had a much needed peaceful rest on the futon. The owner is kind and patient and helped being me into conversations with other guests in the morning with a nice hot cup of coffee. She even gave me a freshly made onigiri when I checked out that was a lifesaver on the road later that day. Be aware there are no stores nearby, so you will need to bring food with you from a convenience store or similar.

The guesthouse is located at the end of a small road right by the rice fields. It was very quiet and peaceful and I had a good night's sleep. The house is tastefully decorated and has all the amenities you would need, including a washing machine that you can use for a small cost. The host speaks good English and explained clearly about everything in the house. The room was clean and tidy, and the futon was very comfortable. I would recommend others to stay here.

This is a beautiful hotel near Ogoto Onsen train station with a shuttle that you can call to take you to the hotel. Otherwise walking is fine too, 15m. We had a japanese-style room with futons, it was one of the best nights of sleep. There was also a private bath in the room with a wonderful view over the lake. Breakfast was pre-prepared, a lot of japanese-style small dishes from the local cuisine. There is also a gift shop near the reception for buying local products. Overall a great stay.

The street the hotel is in is beautiful. There's lots to see and do nearby. You can go to the lake. There's a couple of really amazing cafés and restaurants nearby. The locals really want you to try and spend time in their town competing with Kyoto can't be easy, but it's well worth spending a day exploring Otsu.

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.

We were cycling around Lake Biwa and I was deciding between to stop overnight in Makino or Takashima. The area is very windy and somehow there was a lot of cars passing this street where the accommodation is located. There is no convenient store, 2 restaurants nearby and a local sake brewery. There wasn’t much to walk around for us. The accommodation is fantastic, we couldn’t ask for more.

Moriyama sits on Lake Biwa with great access to both east and west side, across the Biwako Ohashi bridge. Though Moriyama itself is very urbanized, there are many traditional villages surrounding the town such as Omihachiman. Overall, the Lake Biwa area is severely underrated and tourists should definitely consider to go!

Maibara is a great 'gateway' location for basecamp if you're exploring Kansai [ie less expensive lodging than staying in Kyoto or Osaka] utilizing the shinkansen. If you're a first-timer in Japan and hoping to hit scenic historic sites, you should especially consider it; access to Nagahama Castle and Hikone Castle is super easy [and both are off-the-beaten path where foreign tourists are concerned [if you're at either mid-week, even in 'high' season (ie cherry blossom or autumn leaf viewing), you'll like encounter few foreign tourists], but quick walks from main local JR stations] *Photos attached are @ Hikone Castle, 1 station south of Maibara station; about a 10 minute walk from Hikone Station]

A quiet little town, a great place to visit to avoid the crowds of tourists. Make sure to take the rope-way to the top of Mount Hachiman for a breathtaking view of Lake Biwa and the surrounding area. Also a good place to try out the local Omi beef, one of Japan's top quality wagyu beef brands.

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.

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.

Nagahama is great place for renting a bike and cycling around. We got e-bikes from rent place near station. Museums are good - take the Nagahama museum pass for 2 days. Shops, boutiques and restaurants are open around 11-16. No much hope to find any place where to dinner in the evening. Luckily there is a grocery shop in Station, and they have good sushi, onigiri and gyoza selection. For breakfast there is 1 cafe in the station, and very lovely Sheep cafe (opens at 11, fluffy pancakes and cafe to eat in). Anegawa onsen was very good as we were in Nagahama when it was very cold outside.
