The room provided ample space for our family during our stay in Japan. The front desk staff was incredibly helpful, making check-in a breeze. Their flexibility in allowing us to store our luggage after check-out was greatly appreciated. I look forward to returning for another stay here!

The location was awesome close to and a view of the Castle! What more could you need. Room was comfortable and met my expectations. Was able to work at the desk without any issues. WiFi was good. They even offer complimentary drinks in the lounge. I arrived about an hour early and was able to check in right away and head to my room. Great hotel! Would definitely stay here again.

Nice clean, relatively new room. Reception staff member was very helpful and handled the language barrier with ease. Good facilities like microwave and ice machine easy to find in the lobby. Great value and also included breakfast (can’t say what it was like because we missed it to catch our train).

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.

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.

Hikone Castle is not comparable to Himeji Castle, but its surrounded by many cherry trees. It must look gorgeous during the blossom season. And in the woods below one side of the castle, there are huge number of white birds. It's very impressive to see them returing to their nets in late afternoon. And we do like the lake sunset.

Hikone is easily reached by Shinkansen from Tokyo with a short trip (5 minutes) in a local train. The town has much to offer - an island temple easily reached by boat; a hugely impressive feudal castle (1 of only 4 genuine castles still standing in Japan) with a good museum and surrounded by 2 moats and a beautiful stroll garden. Close to the castle is are attractive streets with good quality shops and some old houses as well. The town is comfortably quiet compared to the nearby Kyoto which is now like Venice and seriously overcrowded. The one disadvantage which the town could fix very easily is that the bus service does not have information on routes and stops in English unlike Kyoto. Finally the time to visit is late March early April when the cherry blossom for which Hikone is famous is in flower.

Clean, good amount of space for 2 in the twin room. Small but great spa/bath. TV and vending machines were modern and nice. Staff was very patient and accommodating and always at counter. Baggage hold available but no lockers. Food options are available all around about 5 to 10 min walk. Also less than an hour walk to Hikone castle. About 40 minutes.

The host Natsuhara-san really went above and beyond for me, he is very kind. The cleaning ladies who come in the morning are also very kind and we did our best to communicate through the language barrier. Overall I had a great time! It's very close to Hikone Castle and in the historical town area so it's easy to see the attractions.
