My room was smaller than I expected, (typical Japanese small), but very clean and comfortable. On the other hand, the bathroom was bigger than what you get in a lot of Japanese hotels, which I appreciated. From my room, I didn't have a view of the castle, but rather of the city, which was OK with me. You get a nice view of the castle every time you go to take the elevator, or while enjoying your free drink in the lounge. The public bath also wasn't particularly spacious, but when I went, I was the only one there, and soaking in the bath with the nice view of the castle was a real treat. I give high marks to the staff (front desk & restaurant). They were all very pleasant and helpful. My Japanese is good, and I don't need English from the staff, but the English support here seems sufficient, so if you don't know much or any Japanese, you should still be fine. The breakfast was a real highlight. My favorites were the made-on-the-spot tempura, and the "chef's special curry", but truly everything that I had from the nice variety of options was fresh and very tasty. The hotel's location is perfect, right next to the castle. And the walk from the station, which was only about 6 or 7 minutes, was a little shorter than I thought it would be, which was a blessing because it was the middle of August and very hot. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

    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.

    99% of the staff does not speak English but all are very friendly and try to help. The public bath was nice. Free breakfast was awesome. You can rent bikes to explore Hikone (there are only 2 though, and sometimes get used). Parking is free. The ramen restaurant near the hotel was excellent and there are 24 hour fast food options close by, and a 7/11. The room was pretty comfortable. Price was nice. They have a shuttle as well.

    The host Natsuhara-san really went above and beyond for me, he is very kind. The cleaning ladies who come in the morning are also very kind and we did our best to communicate through the language barrier. Overall I had a great time! It's very close to Hikone Castle and in the historical town area so it's easy to see the attractions.

    The location is outstanding. Next to the original Hikone castle. The people were extremely helpful and friendly. Nice free beer as part of stay and shuttle back to the train station. We didn’t have time to use the spa but looked nice. Always book the restaurant the day before you arrive.
