The hotel is a bit further away from the city. It's 10 minutes away by car from Maibara Station so the hotel provides free shuttle to drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon.The room is spacious and beautifully decorated in Japanese style with a balcony looking out to Biwa Lake. The view from the outdoor onsen is stunning as you could feel that the lake is almost within your reach.The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Only a handful can speak English but those who don't, try their best to communicate with you.overall awesome

Stunning views over the lake and a very peaceful and beautiful place. Somewhat inconsistent service and the beds were like sleeping on concrete blocks. Asked for an ice bucket and glasses and was told there’s a 3,000 yen corkage fee :-( The new spa is very nice although the “ice bath” outside the sauna was very warm so you don’t get that hot/cold refreshing feeling. They have a serious ventilation problem at dinner.overall this place is good for camping too
