Fantastic location right across from entrance to castle with great views from rooms on the castle side - it was especially fun to see the castle lit up at night from our room. Walking distance to everything. Lovely staff. Large buffet breakfast with Japanese and western options. Spa services were outstanding.

The location is near the station. Room size is quite spacious for Japanese standards. The breakfast is good and tasty, for this price level getting breakfast included is an absolute steal. They have coin laundry too. Amenities always available to self pick up at the lobby.

Hikone is mostly a student town with the castle, and close to the largest lake - Lake Biwa. The sports complex is pretty nice and cool too. I recommend coming here during Sakura for the castle or even snow fall. 1-2 days is enough for a stop for sure.

Hikone is a pleasant place, but not one you should plan a trip around. Possibly best for a day trip. The atmosphere and climate is reminiscent of small cities in New England. The lake is pleasant, but if you're interested in kayaking you should try towns on the western shore of the lake, even though they're more expensive resort towns. Hikone castle is obviously the reason to come here, but there are a few nice local restaurants as well. Other than that, it's mostly auto shops and people revving the engines of their souped-up cars every night.

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.

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.

Really lovely, traditional accommodation. The staff were friendly and relaxed, even gave me a lift to the station at the end of my stay. I also borrowed a bike from them to ride around the city and had some lovely views of the sunset over the lake. Everythung was clean and tidy with very nice and strong AC! Also a great location near the castle and the station, as well as being next to a shopping street with places to eat.

The accommodation has a cozy home-like atmosphere, the host is very nice and welcoming. Would recommend to those who prefers homestays with a personal touch over large hostels. The facilities are also clean and the bed is very comfortable. It is only a few minutes walk from the lake side and the hikone castle.
