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.

Gorgeous hotel with beautiful views and friendly staff. Our view of the lake was like a dream. Shuttle takes you directly to and from train station twice an hour. If you can handle a bit of a walk, charming restaurants are right by the lake. I want to return!!
