Hotels mit Spa in Präfektur Shiga, Japan

It was a great stay at this ryokan! The hotel is able to arrange a car to fetch you from the JR station. You can call them using a dedicated phone at the station which is used to contact the different ryokans. The car arrived in 10mins or so. The ride to the ryokan was also less than 10mins. The hotel also fetched us to the station on the last day of our stay. The ryokan itself is homely and cozy. We were greeted by an english speaking staff who introduced us to the amenities of the ryokan. There was also a nice welcome tea and matcha chocolate. Our bags were brought to our room as well during this time. The room is spacious and cozy. The hotel prepared 2 welcome biscuits in the room which was a nice personal touch. The room has a nice living room and a great view of Lake Biwa. Recommend to catch the sunrise over the lake! There are 2 normal beds as well as futon beds (need to set up yourself). Both are comfortable. The hotel also prepared pretty yukata for both female and male guests which you can wear during the stay. There are 4 different designs for ladies, and one design for the guys. You can request for different size if the one in the room doesn’t fit you. There is also a full length mirror and a mini dressing area at the side of the living room. It was fun dressing up in the yukata! The toilet, basin, shower and hot tub areas are all separate. The toilet is a little small, but the basin and mirror area is very spacious. The shower area is quite small as well and the shower head is rather low so you need to hold the shower head if you wish to wash up while standing. There is a small stool given for you to sit down though. The hot tub area is semi-outdoor and you can see Lake Biwa. But it is quite small (only good for one person). It was too cold so we didn’t use the hot tub. Instead, we booked the private onsen for 50mins. The private onsen has a private toilet and dressing area which is equipped with hairdryer, body lotion etc. There is a water dispenser as well if you need to hydrate yourself. The onsen area has a washing area, and the hot tub area is spacious for 2 person. There are privacy screens around the onsen area but there is a small gap to let in cold air for ventilation. Wish there is a good view from the private onsen but it was still enjoyable! Dinner and breakfast was Kaiseki style, and the meals were one of the highlights for my husband and I. We really enjoyed the courses which are clean tasting yet wholesome, fresh and flavourful. It was such a sumptuous treat! The ryokan also has a souvenir shop if you wish to buy anything back. Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed the stay here and we agreed this was one of the main highlights of our 12 days trip in Japan. Highly recommend!

The hotel itself is really cozy and service is good. During my stay, there was not too many people and relaxing. The quality of onsen itself is really good that make my skin so smooth for days. The dinner and breakfast food are fresh, except the dessert cake is really dry which doesn’t taste like any other Japan standard cake.

Nach einer besetzten Kyoto liebe ich die friedliche und ruhige Umgebung dieses schönen Onsen Hotel-ryokan und charmante Burgstadt. Alles über das Hotel spricht von Entspannung und Wohlbefinden. Es ist nur ein 7-8min Spaziergang vom Hikone-Bahnhof, aber es gibt ein Hotelshuttle, das um 9, 10 und 11 Uhr verlässt, wenn Sie eine Absturz brauchen. Die Pick-up könnte wahrscheinlich auch arrangiert werden. Das Hotel bietet eine schöne Außenterrasse mit Schlossblick, ein Spa mit Massage, eine Bibliothekssalon mit kostenlosen Getränken bis 10pm, einen Fußreflexwinkel und eine kompakte Ecke mit Seidebad (alle mit Schlossblick) und heißen Steinbänken. Ich hatte den ganzen Eifer für mich am Abend, so war es sehr entspannend. Das Personal ist auch nett und wunderschön, machte einen Versuch, alle Dienstleistungen und Einrichtungen in Englisch zu erklären. Das Frühstücksbuffet war auch einer der besten, die ich in meinen Reisen nach Japan gesehen habe. Wenn Sie das Schloss besuchen, ist die Einfahrt direkt außerhalb des Hotels. Die Hauptstraße des Schlosses ist ca. 5-10 min entfernt, aber Sie werden durch ein berühmtes japanisches Konfektionswerk, Taneya und Club Harie passieren. Ihre Erinnerungen sind eine, die sogar die japanische Ehrlichkeit. Ich möchte eines Tages wieder mit meinem Partner hierher kommen. Danke für den wunderbaren Aufenthalt.

We stayed one night at Biwako Grand Hotel Kyoomi and had a generally relaxing experience. The traditional tatami room was comfortable and suitable for staying with a young child. The hotel has a classic Japanese ryokan atmosphere, and the area near Lake Biwa is very peaceful. Staff were polite and helpful, and the shuttle service was convenient. Breakfast was simple but acceptable. One suggestion is that it would be appreciated if room arrangements could better match the photos shown on the booking page, as this would help set clearer expectations. Overall, a calm stay for travelers seeking a traditional experience.

clean and new hotel with great design & super friendly staff, great food selection. Had a very nice chill vibe during my stay. Thank you staff 田中美’代’ ( I forgot the last word of her name, she served us dinner on 16th Jan 2026), we appreciate her food serving with patience as we ate slowly, and she helped to take a great photo for us. I’d recommend this hotel if you can drive to there. e

Booked this stay to explore the areas around Lake Biwa. Reception was warm and friendly with an English-speaking host who provided us with the information for the stay. We booked the western style room as we preferred an attached bathroom, however the room condition was outdated and needs refurbishment, like peeling surfaces. The Japanese style room looked better when we caught a glimpse during check-out time. Nevertheless, location and amenities were great. Location is near major eateries and commercial centres by a short drive.

1) air conditioning is very week, suggest equipping with one more fan in the room 2) only one female lobby staff worked very slowly . Other staff just rest not come out for work We had waited for a very long time to get back our stored luggage and missed the JR train 😥🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Very good hotel. Love the room and the hot spring area. Staff are very friendly. Just a comment on the food arrangement: suggest the hotel to contact the guest prior to the check-in on the dinner or breakfast arrangement and offer the choices.

竹生島を往復するクルーズ船乗り場の真ん前に位置するこのホテルは立地条件や夜間の周囲の静かさが良く、また、照明の明るい駐車場もあって安心して過ごせました。 バイキング形式の朝食は、近江牛や近江米などの地場の食材を使ったおり、色々と美味しく堪能することができた。 デザート類の種類は少ないものの、味は十分に満足できるものでした。 大浴場もあり、とてもコスパ良く過ごせました。

Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und das Erlebnis der heißen Quellen ist auch sehr gut. Es war niemand da, als ich dorthin ging, es war nur eine Charter. Die Lage ist direkt am See, komfortabel und ruhig, daneben gibt es eine 7-11, man kann einige einfache Einkäufe tätigen. Die Besitzerin des Hotels ist eine freundliche und liebenswürdige Großmutter, die uns in einfachem Englisch lokale Aktivitäten empfehlen kann. Ich bin ihr sehr dankbar, dass sie sich ein paar Tage um sie gekümmert hat.
