The room provided ample space for our family during our stay in Japan. The front desk staff was incredibly helpful, making check-in a breeze. Their flexibility in allowing us to store our luggage after check-out was greatly appreciated. I look forward to returning for another stay here!

Service: all staff were gracious, kind, friendly. Free drinks were offered on beautiful space with terrace overlooking the lit-up grounds of Hikone Castle. We were also picked up from the station by the hotel shuttle bus Location: perfect, overlooking the moats of Hikone Castle, and nearby all restaurants, Castle Street, and the castle and gardens. Quiet and beautiful in November. A ten minute walk back to the station, which links directly with Kyoto (45 mins away on train) Breakfast: great variety of Japanese and western-style dishes, continually replenished, and absolutely delicious. First class cooking and presentation. We loved it. Rooms: mostly single rooms. Six of us stayed in a single room each. Clean, comfortable, spacious. Other: super onsen, with views to castle; spacious foyer, lobby, library and waiting areas, again with some superb artwork, objects and views; tremendous value-for-money. On check-out, we stored our luggage and stayed the day in Hikone before picking our bags up again, and we were very grateful for this free service. Summary: an excellent hotel operating to very high standards of hospitality. Perfect location in a lovely and historic town. We only stayed one night, but wished we had stayed more, and we would be delighted to return.

Nice clean, relatively new room. Reception staff member was very helpful and handled the language barrier with ease. Good facilities like microwave and ice machine easy to find in the lobby. Great value and also included breakfast (can’t say what it was like because we missed it to catch our train).

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.

It’s right next to Hikone station. They had limited, fixed-rate parking on site. The “rain shower” is awesome. The hotel actively discourages overuse of single-use products such as amenity items. You can also get room package deals that are cheaper by not having full cleaning every day. The breakfast salads were crunchy.

Great stay at a tasteful house with a charm, internal Japanese garden, balcony overlooks it from a vast room. Very kind and friendly host family, excellent value at Hikone. Good heating. Lots of eateries nearby. In house hot bath. 7-11 accross the corner. Have a walk at night to see the castle lighted.
