Very near to station! And situated opposite a mall where there’s daiso and a supermarket so overall it’s a super convenient spot.
The breakfast spread (Japanese breakfast set topped with buffet spread) was tasty and good value for money.
The room was bigger than usual Japanese hotel sizes we saw in the past and comfortable space overall. View was good too

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.YiChina - 10Scored 10

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.EricUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Hikone is just the right distance from Kyoto when travelling by bicycle to ride around Lake Biwa. Its castle grounds turn pink in the spring cherry blossom season and reflect beautifully in the moat's waters. Other seasons have their own distinctive attractions. In all seasons the local beef is great, all you need is an appetite.

Nice castle and the lake.
Nice castle and the lake. It will probably take just a day to see everything. There aren’t really much else to do, so I would recommend Hikone to those, who can’t go to Himeji or who really like castles. There are nice mountains as well, but this is another story.EvgenyJapan - 8.0Scored 8.0
I enjoyed walking around the castle and garden.
I enjoyed walking around the castle and garden. I was surprised by how much there was to see at the castle grounds. I found myself intrigued by the architecture and most of all the view from the castle was amazing. You get a 360 view of the whole town including Lake Biwa.LindyJapan

- From US$127.02 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 254 reviewsLovely traditional style budget ryokan near a large strip of restaurants. There is an onsen which you can use privately as long as no one else is using it at the time. The manager is awesome, he offers you a lift to the station when you checkout which we greatly appreciated. There are some bikes you can rent for free, but make sure you ask early. It was great value for money.TinaAustralia
- From US$127.02 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 254 reviewsFun to get away from typical westernised hotels and try a ryokan with tatami mats. We were able to have a family bath in their rock bath onsen, which was a novelty. Hosts were super friendly and accomodating, and even offered to drive us to the train station. Wish my command of Japanese language was better so I could've chatted properly with the hosts.samAustralia

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.SSarahCanada
