Hotels on the Lake in Shiga Prefecture from $42

"We had a room with a view of Lake Biwa. It was a beautiful. And the breakfast was delicious."

"We didn't want to leave. Stayed for two nights and wished we had booked for longer. Amazing hospitality and amenities, we had a room with a private bath on the balcony. Kaiseki dinners were fabulous albeit slightly confusing with our minimal Japanese language skills, but the staff went out of their way to explain and help us have a great meal. Breakfasts were also good, and the shuttle bus to and from the train station was much appreciated."

"琵琶湖一周観光の際、宿泊しました。ロッジにいるような木の温もりある可愛いお部屋でした。窓から湖が見えます。周辺にはレストランなどありません。大浴場もありません。静かに過ごしたい方、朝の湖畔散策をされたい方にはいいと思います。朝食のバイキングは普通です。"

"great place to relax and enjoy the onsen. good and helpful staff. far from train station however they do provide shuttle service, you just need to call the hotel to arrange for it. not much around the area for shopping though, "

"A small room with a door suitable for dwarfs. A kind staff and good service. A very good location."

"The rooms were spacious and wonderful, and the staff were all very nice"

"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."

"Awesome Onsen. Quick check in. The two open air mineral baths were clean, comfortable and relaxing. The one with the huge lava rocks, natural greenery and small waterfall on the 5th floor was my favorite. On the 11th floor the afternoon and evening it was gently raining and sitting in the Onsen with rain coming down made me feel one with the rain and hot water. The food was awesome, a huge variety and more than I could eat. The room was traditional Japanese and comfortable. My husband and I...

"Good hotel!"
