In January, I saw Lake Biwa from Mount Hiei, and started looking for a destination. I searched around from Hikone Castle to Otsu, and chose Okino Onsen in Otsu. The hotel is not easily accessible on foot from Otsu Onsen Station, but there is a free one at the exit of the station. You can contact the hotel by mobile phone and the hotel car will pick you up in five minutes, which is very convenient.
The exterior of the hotel is a hilly terrain. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the edge of Lake Biwa. You can see the lake from the room. The night view is extremely beautiful. There is no large area of cherry blossom scenery around the hotel.
The interior of the hotel has a beautiful Japanese style, with small details and beautiful details.
Facilities: You need to take the escalator on the first and second floors. There are smoking spots on the 3rd and 6th floors. In addition to Soten Restaurant, there are other restaurants. There is a large shop and cafe in the lobby on the first floor. There is a large public bath.
I had 4 dinners and 4 breakfasts in Cangtian for four days in a row. Each meal had slight changes, and they were all very healthy and fresh ingredients. But next time I will only book a two-day stay, and the two-day stay does not include meals, because the meals The time must be confirmed in advance. Being late and leaving early will affect other guests and other itinerary arrangements. I did not go to the Otsu Museum at night because of dinner.
The room was great, with two Japanese-style rooms, two TVs, and an open-air bath. Cleaning and bed making are completely contactless. We fill out the forms during breakfast, clean when people go out to play, and someone makes the bed at dinner time. It is very, very comfortable. If you want to experience the hot spring bath in the Aburaya in Spirited Away, it is recommended to walk to the lakeside あがりやんせ, where you can eat, drink, have fun, get a haircut, and get a massage. There is also a free theater, library, and massage chair. You can enjoy it for 1,600 yen per person for a day.
