A beautiful, well thought out space. An amazing location near Biwa lake, and an extremely considerate host. This will be our goto space anytime we're in Kyoto and our recommendation to others.

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.

The place was incredibly peaceful. It's situated near Bodai Temple, and in the morning, I accompanied some people in their worship rituals at the temple. Experiencing this Japanese-style garden worship was truly a new and enriching experience for me.
