I had an unforgettable stay at Biwako Hanakaido. The view of Biwa Lake is simply spectacular, creating a serene and picturesque setting for a relaxing getaway. The staff were exceptionally friendly and grateful, making my stay even more enjoyable. A special thank you to Alena for taking such great care of us The food was varied and incredibly tasty, offering a delightful culinary experience. The massage course also must try!

Firstly getting picked up by the hotels bus/van at the train station was EXTREMELY Convenient. They loaded all our bags and even loaded them in carts at the hotel to bring to the front desk. Check in was quick and they brought the bags to our room and showed us what the room had to offer. My Wife and I had the Deluxe Japanese Style Room with the balcony that had a private Onsen tub outside the room. The place was beautiful with the room clean and very spacious! The Balcony has a beautiful view of the Lake and the Onsen Hot tub was hot and relaxing! They had a variety of Yukata to wear and free drinks on the first floor. We went outside on the first floor veranda to enjoy the night air. We saw some kittens playing on the premises which was a great bonus! Then we had our special Kaiseki dinner, which was great! Course after course went by and the food was great, especially the local Omi Beef! Then we went exploring the area and checked out the "library" where we just relaxed and had complementary snacks and drinks. Then the foot pool and the public Onsen on premises. We got a couples massage after and went back to the room to relax and soak in the private Onsen again. The next morning we had a buffet breakfast with all the normal fare, but also some unique Japanese choices such as fish to grill on the grill, curry rice, and Onsen Tamago(Egg). Checking out was easy and the ride back via bus from the hotel was much appreciated!

Real way of Japanese life with an Onsen for bathroom with Japanese people, living like them. Eating exactly like them. Wearing the yukata. The shuttle to go to the station, the vintage of the hotel, the free power plate. I want to go back.

The room is super spacious, can easily sleep up to 4 person. The 3 floor bathhouse has a outdoor bath for you to take in the good view of Lake Biwa . The location is really quiet and you can definitely rest up well after your snowboarding trip or your tour around the area.

The amazing traditional Japanese home and wood working! The yard is amazing. It is in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle in the main areas of Kyoto!

This is a wonderful place. The garden is old and exquisite, and while the house is traditional and quaint, it has a fully-equipped kitchen, modern toilets and comfortable baths. While it's a bit of a walk up the hill from the Misasagi subway station, the neighborhood is pretty, and there's a canal in a park. There's also a small grocery store right by the subway station, and it offers whatever a traveler might need for a decent meal or a pleasant bath.

Undeniably the best location in Kyoto, which is one of the most serene and beautiful places in the world. Simply put, this is literally one of the most beautiful places you can stay on the planet. The staff is absolutely lovely, and a special thank you to Okita-san, who kindly helped me book reservations at nearby restaurants.
