    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. 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.

    At first I thought I might be bored but there’s so much to do! It’s a little difficult to travel from place to place; lots of walking. But there’s lots of history, friendly people, and beautiful nature.

    Otsu is a great location to get away from the city life of Japan. It is quite peaceful here and is located next to a large lake (lake biwa) which is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Overall, this location is clean and quiet, different from the bustling cities of Japan and i would recommend this place to those who enjoy a scenic walk and a calm environment.

    Beautiful spot near the lake.

    Beautiful spot near the lake. Perfect for those that want to stay a little out of the hustle and bussle, in perhaps a bigger / better value for money hotel, but still within close proximity to Kyoto.

    Everything.The service provided is top notch even though we are using English as a medium of speak. The room is spacious and the bath provided is just so good. Since we're ordering Halal menu set, I would say the menu is fantastic as it includes seafood, beef and chicken which is hard to find for halal option here. The shuttle service also is quite helpful as there is no medium of transportation to the Ryoukan from the station and a mobile phone is provided to contact them at the station.

    It was an unforgettable trip. I am so happy to book this lodge on booking.com. I enjoyed staying at this Japanese Temple lodge. The food is beautiful and tasty, and the service is extraordinarily good. The most amazing thing is we did sleep with the national treasures.. ( the butsuma and the ancient Biwa. Thanks for the world-class hospitality. Mr. Tazoe offered more than the service itself. We love Japan, and we will come back next year!

    The hotel is only 100 meters from Seta station. the staffs are very friendly & helpful. i ask the supervisor to make a reservation for dinner & the supervisor voluntarily brought us personally to the restraurant, Tell the owner we don’t speak Japanese & explain to us how to order. their housekeeping fid a very good job in keeping the room sparkling clean. they deserve more than the maximum stars allowable.

    A beautiful location for a simply gorgeous hotel. The room was lovely with a fantastic view of the lake, the breakfasts were well rounded choices and delicious, and most of all the staff were always helpful. I highly recommend staying here if you want to explore around Kyoto and Lake Biwa, and then have a great place to relax after a busy day, or to take a break and some time to simply relax

    All staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. There are both indoor and outdoor onsen. There are 2 outdoor onsen which change daily for female or male usage ( signs are in English as well as Japanese) Food is served in the restaurant and was delicious and wonderfully presented. I have stayed at many ryokans and this was one of my best experiences.

    Kaiseki dinner and breakfast included with our stay was innovative! The room was beautiful (though in our room there was no temp control so a bit hot for our comfort). Other rooms had mini splits where there is adjustable temperature. The hotel was beautiful and amenities were outstanding. Staff was lovely.

    The innkeeper is an artist and she acts as your surrogate mother while you are here. Be sure to ask for room 203 which is set up as a traditional Japanese living room. She and her husband got up in the middle of the night to see me off. I couldn't recommend more highly.

    The bathroom was unlike "typical" Japanese bathrooms, where there an "elevatation"; I love that I can walk casually and leisurely into the bathroom without tripping. The room also has a pretty good view! About 3 mins walk from Otsu station, very convenient.
