The street the hotel is in is beautiful.

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.

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.

This property exceeded my expectations. A hotel where Japanese style meets Danish mid-century modern. Our room was furnished with Hans Wegner’s CH22 lounge chairs. The desk had a Carl Hansen & Søn Elbow Chair. The reception areas were beautiful with a very generous happy hour. I loved it! The staff were very helpful also with suggestions for things to do and places to eat based on our likes.

Location is great. Easy to get to / from Otsu station via complimentary Hotel bus. Local metro line also very close for sightseeing. Lots of breakfast options both English and Japanese. Club Lounge offered excellent drink selection and food. Staff were nice and friendly. Room views of Lake Biwa were amazing day and night.

Good location near to Lake Biwa. Suitable for budget travellers who do not wish to splurge on a stay overlooking the lake as this hotel is just beside JR Seta station which is convenient for travelling to places of interests at the lake. The hotel room was very clean. Breakfast was sufficient.
