    Grote hotelkamers met een prachtig uitzicht over Lake Biwa.

    Zeer uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet en ruime kamers. Het hotel is goed bereikbaar met zowel trein als metro. Vanaf Otsu Station rijdt er een pendelbusje van het hotel v.v.

    Amazing location. Awesome view. Large and comfortable room. Free and regular shuttle to the JR station and close to the local train. Exterior and interior of the hotel is an art deco masterpiece. Too cold for us but the pool looked good.

    It was a bit expensive.
