Hotel Otsu dengan Tempat Letak Kereta

My partner and I thorougly enjoyed our stay at Biwako Hotel. All rooms face the beautiful Lake Biwako and the view was perfect. We even caught a snowfall on one of our mornings here. The staff was great and always friendly even when there was a slight language barrier. We tried their breakfast as well which was really good. Highly recommend renting their electric bikes and cycling around the lake during sunset. And also going for the Lake Biwako Cruise! The hotel onsen is wonderful as well, we will definitely be back

Stayed at Youzanso during late March 2023. It was during the cherry blossom season. We (family of four) had the room with the Lake Otsu view and private bath. The room was sufficient for 4 of us but I wouldn't call it spacious. However, the room and bathroom were clean. The room came with dinner and breakfast for 4 of us and costed about AUD800. The dinner and breakfast was quite good and would recommend to anyone considering the half board. It might get old if u were staying for few days but we were only there for one night. We toured Kyoto for the day and stayed here overnight then went back to kyoto for more sightseeing. It wasn't as convenient as if you stayed in Kyoto but the travel wasn't long or difficult. The property is bit dated and looks more like a hotel than a ryokan. The facilities are clean but also look dated as well. However, the public onsen is great, clean and the outdoor bath is a must. Took this photo of the external bath when no one was present and the ambiance was really something...

・どーでも良いですが、トリップアドバイザーのサイトに苦言。このサイトの、誰と一緒に行きましたか ?で、ファミリーの旅行は、「家族（子供連れ）」と「夫婦」しかないのはなぜ？親と行くのですけど。親から見れば子供連れと言えなくもないが日本語としてはおかしい。バリエーションとしては兄弟姉妹も現実的かな。 ・観光の際に素泊まりで1泊しました ・お風呂は温泉ではありません ・2回へは階段のみでエレベータはありません ・琵琶湖直結です ・たまたまですが、琵琶湖でボートの大会があるとかで、学生が多かった

Very nice. The owner is very nice and helpful. He is able to speak English. Moreover, the private Onsen room is really impressive. Hope I can go next time.

The hotel is very nice and has beautiful lake views and room is also big and nice. However the breakfast in 38Floor staff manager is not so nice and reject client where to sit even other side has many seats for available so I am writing here to tell hotel manager to improve this service attitudes which is not good 👊

Booked a room with an in room onsen overlooking the lake which was amazing Staff went above and beyond and specifically Ziggy who helped me retrieve an item I had left behind. Amazing Kaiseki meal Would highly recommend for an amazing onsen experience.

Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

旅行会社のPKGプランに掲載されており、大津で一番安かったので宿泊しました。良かった点や気になった点を記載いたします。なお、ホームページなどに掲載されている写真は実際よりもかなり盛れています（笑） ●良かった点 ・湖や駅に近いこと。駅までは徒歩1分と記載ありましたが、実際そのくらいの距離です。びわこ浜大津駅は湖からすぐです。 ・シャワーの出が良かったこと。朝も夜もシャワーを出してすぐに熱いお湯が出て来ました。水量や水圧も問題ありません。 ・オートロックではないこと。最近のホテルでは珍しくオートロックではありません。カギ（カードキーではありません）を外から回して開錠と施錠をします。締め出される可能性が無いので、個人的にはこちらの方が好きでした。 ・喫煙ルームがあったこと。喫煙者なので、喫煙ルームがあるのはかなり助かりました。トリップアドバイザーでは「全室禁煙」と書かれていますが、きちんと喫煙ルームはあります。喫煙者の人たちも安心して宿泊できます。 ●気になった点 ・アメニティが乏しかったこと。シャンプーやコンディショナーは混合のものが1回分だけ用意されていました。翌朝の分が無いので、フロントに連絡したら、フロントまで取りにくれば渡すと言われました。1回分の使い捨てが置かれているホテルは初めてでした。またボディソープは固形石鹸だけです。前の宿泊者との使い回しで、かなり小さくなっていました。 ・ドライヤーが乾かないこと。ドライヤーはよくあるバスルームに備え付けのタイプですが、風圧が弱いのか、なかなか乾きませんでした。 ・エレベータが1機しかなかったこと。エレベータが1機なので、朝のチェックアウト時はなかなかエレベータが来なくて、フロントがある1階まで行くのに時間が掛かりました。 ・近隣にコンビニが1軒もないこと。ホテルの近くにコンビニが無いのはかなり不便でした。 簡単に纏めると以上になります。アメニティ関係は一番びっくりしました。なお、延長コードが必要な方は22番のフロントまでと書かれていたので連絡しました。てっきり部屋まで届けてくれるのかと期待したら、フロントまで取りに来るように言われました（笑） 単に寝るだけと考えている人はアリだと思います。値段も比較的リーズナブルでした。

When visiting Kyoto, we wanted to enjoy some time in an onsen resort so we decided to spend two nights in Ogoto Onsen. After checking the details in their website, we booked a ”Biwa no kaze”room with private onsen and view of Lake Biwako. And we were not disappointed. The room looks newly renovated, and is very spacious with two beds and sitting area plus a tatami room. They offer different dinner packages, and we have chosen crab with steak as the main dishes for the first night, and lobster with shabu-shabu the second night. The foods were of very high quality, tasted and looked very nice. The breakfast buffet was very good with a wide selection of different items. The ryokan is excellent in nearly all aspects. We would stay here again when we next visit Kyoto.

館内がとても広く廊下の床や壁が美しい石で装飾されていたり壺や絵画などが多く展示されていて豪華な印象でした。大広間での会席料理や大浴場やゲームコーナーやスナックや17アイスの自販機など定番の日本の昭和レトロな観光ホテルを楽しめました。レストランの女性スタッフ達が元気で優しかったです。残念だったのは部屋のエアコンの恐ろしい汚さとチェックイン女性スタッフが不機嫌だったこと。他のスタッフが皆笑顔だったので一人だけ目立っていました。
