    Stayed in luxury and elegant room with a perfect view of biwako. Had great facilities, such as central heating, multi-channel television, and a fridge. The setting was brilliant, next to the local attractions, lake view cafes and good restaurants, and the Omni restaurant.

    Sadly, but there was stain in some areas.

    We had a wonderful stay at this luxurious hotel, located right by the breathtaking lake. The view from our balcony was absolutely stunning, and we enjoyed taking leisurely walks along the peaceful lake. The staff here were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcomed and ensuring that our needs were met. The rooms were spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable, allowing us to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. Additionally, the hotel offered a variety of amenities and services such as room service, bicycle hire, and housekeeping, which enhanced our overall experience.

    This hotel is a hidden gem, offering stunning views over Lake Biwa. The rooms are spacious and beautifully arranged, with balconies that allow you to soak in the breathtaking scenery. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a comfortable stay. The hotel also offers a delicious breakfast with a sweeping view of the lake, making it a perfect way to start the day.

    All was perfect, I couldn't ask for more.
