Staying was a truly remarkable experience. Situated near the Biwa Lake and just a short distance from Kyoto, this hotel offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility.
One of the standout features of the Otsu Prince Hotel is the spaciousness of its rooms. Unlike many hotels in Japan, which often have compact rooms, the Otsu Prince Hotel provides ample space for relaxation and comfort. Whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, or with family, you'll appreciate the generous room size that allows for a more comfortable stay.
The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking view of Biwa Lake from my room. Waking up to the sight of Japan's largest freshwater lake was a rejuvenating experience. The large windows in the rooms ensure you get an unobstructed view of the shimmering waters and surroundings. Adding a magical touch to your stay, making it truly unforgettable.
Despite its peaceful location by Biwa Lake, the Otsu Prince Hotel is conveniently close to Kyoto. It's an ideal base for exploring the historic and cultural attractions of Kyoto while enjoying a quieter, more relaxed setting at the end of the day.

From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile walk of the property.
Only one restaurant off site in that mile two convenience stores and if you walk a bit further a pretty mellow "redlight" district

Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh.
Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh. But go to have a walk behind the hotel. The countryside is like a Miyazaki movie getting real ! You can go near from there : temples, beach, ski station with incredible view… But with the hotel’s shuttle and the station you have Kyoto, very near, Nara, Osaka a little farther. You’ve got all Kansaï by JR… A good tip : when you go to the station to Shirahige shrine, don’t take bus but walk with GPS. The way is just incredible with village, other shrines so quiet and monkey looking at you from the forest behind rice fields…

Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan. Faced to Biwa lake it has many historical monument and cultural hotspots. In summer the big firework event is so famous to attract many people. In Biwako Hall many world class concerts and plays are performed. Local fishes and sakes are another charm for visitors. Once you come here you cannot help missing this unforgettable city.

At first I thought I might be bored but there’s so much to do! It’s a little difficult to travel from place to place; lots of walking. But there’s lots of history, friendly people, and beautiful nature.

Otsu is a great location to get away from the city life of Japan. It is quite peaceful here and is located next to a large lake (lake biwa) which is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Overall, this location is clean and quiet, different from the bustling cities of Japan and i would recommend this place to those who enjoy a scenic walk and a calm environment.

Beautiful spot near the lake.
Beautiful spot near the lake. Perfect for those that want to stay a little out of the hustle and bussle, in perhaps a bigger / better value for money hotel, but still within close proximity to Kyoto.
Relaxing and beautiful environment. Private onsen room had a gorgeous view of the lake and the onsen itself was very refreshing. The staff makes you feel very welcomed and they take good care of you. The traditional Japanese style rooms were spacious and comfortable. Easy access to the ryokan from the train station via the shuttle bus they provide. Would come back anytime!
The Koke Musu Inn was by far my favorite place to stay during a two week trip to Japan. The house is decorated in a way that was deeply creative and quirky. The room was extremely cozy and well equipped. Best of all, our host was so kind and accommodating. I will be staying here the next time I’m anywhere near Kyoto! I wish I was here for the entire trip.
Biggest room I've ever stayed in Japan! Bright and cheerful with a nice balcony that overlooks the lake. There were 3 of us in one room but there was still plenty of space. The good quality coffee and tea provided in the room are great touches. Love the breakfast too - there's plenty of choices and they all taste good. Would love to stay there again.
We were met with friendly staff, who in no time completed our check in, and served us with a drink while we waited. We were then guided to our room with clear explanation of things we needed to know. The breakfast and dinner were really an eye-opening experience in the Japanese food culture. The private in room onsen was just superb.
Yuzanso is a beautiful Ryokan with a view over lake Biwa. The rooms are great and have a beautiful view over Lake Otsu from the bathtub in the room.
The best thing about Yuzansou is that they offer halal options to Muslim travelers, one of the only Ryokans in Japan. So now even Muslims can get the full japanese ryokan experience.
Just amazing - dinner and breakfast served exceptionally well in a private room. Onsen bath experience is awesome. We switched over to this hotel due to online positive reviews. Would love to come back again every time we visit Kyoto. 20 min train ride out to the bay area, but worth it.
The bathroom was unlike "typical" Japanese bathrooms, where there an "elevatation"; I love that I can walk casually and leisurely into the bathroom without tripping.
The room also has a pretty good view!
About 3 mins walk from Otsu station, very convenient.
The location is excellent: right outside of Seta station. There's are convenience stores and an excellent restaurant nearby. Room size is small just like all other business hotels in Japan, and the entire hotel is very clean.
Very friendly staff, speak English and booked a very good izakaya at walking distance for dinner. Old typical Japanese house very well renovated with a nice garden. Room very comfortable. Public parking in front of the house.
The staff was very friendly; when I asked to change my bed from the top to the bottom, they did so cordially. And above all. It's close to a train station for travelling to Kyoto. They have washer and dryer machine.
Spacious room with lake view, comfortable bed, and onsen.
The location was most convenient and the shuttle bus was also a great help. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I like this hotel a lot.
This was a hidden treasure. I was very happy to have found this place. Wonderful hosts, very welcoming and caring, everything very clean and newly renovated. Authentic Japanese. Absolutely wonderful!
The hotel is right outside the station, so it is very easy to get to. Also, there are many places to eat food around the hotel. There are large TVs in the rooms and a full bathroom.
