I stayed 4 nights. It was the beginning of September, a terribly hot month in Japan. I had planned to spend the day swimming in the pool, but it was closed on weekdays. I could not swim at all. The size of the room and the view were wonderful.

Stay here was great, we got upgraded to suite which was perfect especially having 2 young kids who need space to move around. The views from the room were amazing, you could see the whole of lake biwa and even the city. The location was walking distance to the supermarket/shops/parks, and even had a its own little convience store at the bottom. I would highly recommend if you are staying in the area.

Spacious rooms with full length window panel. Managed to see sunrise from the room. Toilet was clean but a bit old fashioned. Breakfast restaurants have very good view and a good vairiety of food. Overall, the stay at the hotel was fantastic for my family.

The property and staff were wonderful. The cost of dinning in the rooftop restaurants were very overpriced for the quality. Everything seemed to be pre-plated and nothing stood out as great for $140 per person. The hotel lacked excitement as well with mostly 60yr old people. Great place if you are 60 :)

Upmarket resort/convention-style property in a stunning location on the shore of Lake Biwa. Amazing view from the room. Very expensive in-house dining options. Not close to transport, but half-hourly free shuttle bus to Otsu station fills that gap to some extent.
