This is the first time I travel to Kyoto so I particularly choose a Japanese style hotel. Really happy to stay at Biwako for 2 nights. Staff are polite and friendly. The room was beyond our expectations. The open-air bath is outside of the balcony which we can pull down the privacy shades but it was lovely to be outdoors. The quality of the meals are very high, especially the dinner which I give 5-star! Every dish was presented very nice with the waitress explained to us before we started. I also like the facilities in the public bath. I will book again if I travel again Kyoto!
