    Modern facilities while keeping traditional japanese decor with tatami mats. Comfortable beds/futon. Had fun with wearing yukatas in the premises, also for dinner and breakfast. Lovely traditional multi course dinner! Simple nutritious breakfast as well. We had a party with a nut allergy and they took it seriously with substitutions for some items on the dinner menu. Our private onsen in the room was great as well, perfect temperature with a nice little view of Lake biwako. Some of us also enjoyed the public bath. All staff were amazing, from the receptionist, to the waitresses and the driver. All of us felt we were very well taken care of despite only staying one night.

    It is off the traditional tourist routes, it provides an authentic Japanese Ryokan experience in the most beautiful location. I also cannot say enough about the kind and friendly staff - we were treated like royalty. They think of everything even providing you with a telescope and information on the birds around the lake, to a massage chair, outside hot tub etc. the food was authentic and delicious served in our rooms. I can highly recommend a stay here. Wish we had time to fit in an extra night

    We loved the location right next to the railway station. This made things easy for travelling to and from Osaka and was convenient to use as a direction for taxi drivers. I loved the view from my room of the trains passing by. Not overly noisy. There was a great little yakitori restaurant just over the road. Cheap and delicious.

    Enjoy the 1st day in Kyoto. Do the Hop On Hop Off bus (both Blue and Red Lines), which stops at all the major sites. Then train to Otsu for relaxing stay at Lake Biwa. Go on a sightseeing / luncheon cruise or organised trips - example the cable car at Sakamoto. Plenty of places to eat including 36th floor of Lake Biwa Otsu Princess Hotel with great views.

    Hikone is mostly a student town with the castle, and close to the largest lake - Lake Biwa. The sports complex is pretty nice and cool too. I recommend coming here during Sakura for the castle or even snow fall. 1-2 days is enough for a stop for sure.

    Nagahama is great place for renting a bike and cycling around. We got e-bikes from rent place near station. Museums are good - take the Nagahama museum pass for 2 days. Shops, boutiques and restaurants are open around 11-16. No much hope to find any place where to dinner in the evening. Luckily there is a grocery shop in Station, and they have good sushi, onigiri and gyoza selection. For breakfast there is 1 cafe in the station, and very lovely Sheep cafe (opens at 11, fluffy pancakes and cafe to eat in). Anegawa onsen was very good as we were in Nagahama when it was very cold outside.

    We were cycling around Lake Biwa and I was deciding between to stop overnight in Makino or Takashima. The area is very windy and somehow there was a lot of cars passing this street where the accommodation is located. There is no convenient store, 2 restaurants nearby and a local sake brewery. There wasn’t much to walk around for us. The accommodation is fantastic, we couldn’t ask for more.

    Maibara is a great 'gateway' location for basecamp if you're exploring Kansai [ie less expensive lodging than staying in Kyoto or Osaka] utilizing the shinkansen. If you're a first-timer in Japan and hoping to hit scenic historic sites, you should especially consider it; access to Nagahama Castle and Hikone Castle is super easy [and both are off-the-beaten path where foreign tourists are concerned [if you're at either mid-week, even in 'high' season (ie cherry blossom or autumn leaf viewing), you'll like encounter few foreign tourists], but quick walks from main local JR stations] *Photos attached are @ Hikone Castle, 1 station south of Maibara station; about a 10 minute walk from Hikone Station]

    Hikone is a pleasant place, but not one you should plan a trip around. Possibly best for a day trip. The atmosphere and climate is reminiscent of small cities in New England. The lake is pleasant, but if you're interested in kayaking you should try towns on the western shore of the lake, even though they're more expensive resort towns. Hikone castle is obviously the reason to come here, but there are a few nice local restaurants as well. Other than that, it's mostly auto shops and people revving the engines of their souped-up cars every night.

    Beautiful, quiet city with an old Japan feel, no tourists, beautiful lake views and extremely beautiful and powerful shrines, as well as a lively but not overcrowded city center during Matsuri season. The perfect destination if you enjoy a quieter Japan, away from the crowds and noise of bigger city. Just please, don't turn it into the next overcrowded tourist destination.

    Takashima is a wonderful destination, especially for those seeking a peaceful retreat. A highlight of our trip was a charming bakery near the train station. The owner doesn't speak English, but a little Google Translate goes a long way. The bakery is stunning, offering some of the best pastries we've ever had, and my kids loved it too. Takashima is a quiet and serene place, a refreshing contrast to bustling cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. It's perfect for a family getaway to relax and unwind. The lake is absolutely stunning, with fresh air and beautiful blue water

    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…
