Everything fine except when I was seatrd on the toilet my private parts were touching the water in toilet. I had to take a shower after each time I used the toilet... Probably, the water level should be adjusted if possible.

Stay here was great, we got upgraded to suite which was perfect especially having 2 young kids who need space to move around. The views from the room were amazing, you could see the whole of lake biwa and even the city. The location was walking distance to the supermarket/shops/parks, and even had a its own little convience store at the bottom. I would highly recommend if you are staying in the area.

Nice hotel with good view
Spacious rooms with full length window panel. Managed to see sunrise from the room. Toilet was clean but a bit old fashioned. Breakfast restaurants have very good view and a good vairiety of food. Overall, the stay at the hotel was fantastic for my family.

Our room was in dire need of refurbishment although the view was great. Very few staff had enough English to understand requests for information. Very few restauraunts could be found nearby but the hotel breakfast buffet was really good.

8/10 Very good

The property and staff were wonderful. The cost of dinning in the rooftop restaurants were very overpriced for the quality. Everything seemed to be pre-plated and nothing stood out as great for $140 per person. The hotel lacked excitement as well with mostly 60yr old people. Great place if you are 60 :)

Upmarket resort/convention-style property in a stunning location on the shore of Lake Biwa. Amazing view from the room. Very expensive in-house dining options. Not close to transport, but half-hourly free shuttle bus to Otsu station fills that gap to some extent.

Gorgeous hotel with beautiful views and friendly staff. Our view of the lake was like a dream. Shuttle takes you directly to and from train station twice an hour. If you can handle a bit of a walk, charming restaurants are right by the lake. I want to return!!
