Yumotokan
9.4 (78 reviews)

Yumotokan ★★★★

📍 2 Chome-30-7 Noka, Otsu

"Very good onsen hotel, 20 minutes JR from Kyoto, after arriving at the train station you can call the hotel to arrange a free shuttle, 5 minutes drive to the hotel, very convenient. Maybe July is the off-season for hot spring hotels, and this stay was very value for money, choosing a room with a private bath, plus a one-night-two package. The room is very large, the private bath on the terrace is the kind of non-stop running water, without having to turn on the tap yourself. The room was very clean and tidy, the drinks in the mini bar were all free. The staff has a sweet smile and is considerate. The hotel has four public hot springs, each with its own characteristics, especially the Moonlight Hot Spring open-air hot spring located in Paradise, where you can watch the stars and moon while soaking in the hot springs and have an unbeatable lake view during the day. Very enjoyable. If you visit Kyoto next time, you may choose to stay at this hotel for two nights and enjoy the hotel facilities."

Holiday Afternoon Hotels in Otsu

Holiday Afternoon

"The hotel is located within the Biwako Resort area and requires a vehicle. It's a guesthouse, and the staff were very friendly. Since I stayed in a detached house, there was plenty of free parking outside, which was very convenient. The room was very clean and had a private onsen (hot spring bath)."

Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho Hotels in Otsu

Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho

"This hotel was recommended to us by a Japanese friend. It exceeded our expectations by far. Beautiful Japanese design (combination of old and new), spacious room with all amenities, very friendly staff and free coffee/tea/wine and snacks. The good news is that it was only a short train ride from Kyoto. We were so happy to escape from all the tourists. Otsu is an authentic village with charming Local shops and restaurants. We would highly recommend to stay at hotel Koo!"

Ogoto Onsen Yunoyado Komolebi Hotels in Otsu

Ogoto Onsen Yunoyado Komolebi

"I like it very much. It is not worse than Yuyuanguan, and the price is good. The chef's cooking skills are very high. The decoration is a bit old-fashioned, and it feels like a Japanese drama. The hot spring robe is better than Yuyuanguan. The dinner is invincible and delicious! Wagyu! Mushroom rice! Sukiyaki! I ate so much! But the breakfast is not very delicious. The pickled cucumber tastes the same as in China. I thought I couldn't eat it far away from Shanghai. In the end, it tasted like the pickled cucumber and pickled radish at home. But it's very photogenic! There are all kinds of colors, but the taste is killed by the xiaolongbao, wontons and pancakes in my hometown Shanghai. The hot spring in Yuyuanguan is very comfortable! There is just an old lady who keeps coming in to clean the hot spring in the morning! I was scared and didn't care about the front and the back. It was so embarrassing!"

Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel ★★★★★
"The room was so spacious, it didn't feel like I was in Japan. It offered a 5-star environment and service, yet the price was very affordable. Most of the hotel rooms face Lake Biwa, and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area. It offers much better value than luxury hotels in China."

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta ★★★
"The lady receptionist is very helpful and kind. Much appreciated for your help! In general, the hotel situates for just a 2-minute distance from Seta JR Station, and it takes around ~20min travelling time from/to Kyoto. Reasonable facilities given the price is economic. Thank you for the hospitality."

Biwako Hotel ★★★★★
"It's an older, more established Japanese hotel, and the service was pretty good. They have a shuttle bus to and from the train station, and you can enjoy the hot springs in the evening, although the indoor and outdoor baths are relatively small. Walking along the lake is very pleasant. It's not super convenient for getting to various attractions, but transportation around Lake Biwa isn't particularly convenient in general. The easiest way to get around is by chartering a car or driving yourself. Overall, it offers decent value for money."

"The service was friendly and the meal was satisfying. Driving from Kyoto over a mountain was tough, but I completely forgot about it while soaking in the hot springs. It is a place with amazing views."

Biwako Ryokusuitei ★★★★
"The environment is absolutely beautiful, right by the lake. They have a great happy hour in the lobby, and I really enjoyed the sauna and hot spring pool. The breakfast and dinner buffets were amazing – I was so surprised to see seafood BBQ even at breakfast! The only minor drawback was the restroom, which was quite small, but it was fine for just using the toilet."
