Good view of the river but public hot spring is a bit disappointing

Excellent facility with outstanding customer service. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We opted to try the shabu shabu dinner which was delicious. The included breakfast had a large variety of choices. Room was spacious and the private hot spring was amazing.

The service manner is excellent. Excellent lake view. Breakfast buffet offers grilled seafood exceeds my expectation. But there is no regular shuttle bus delivery between JR Station and hotel. Sometimes I prefer to visit other nearby attractions after checked in.

This is my second time at Biwako Ryokusuitei. My husband and I first stayed there in 2022 and we were so impressed with the service that we brought our family there again in 2024. We really enjoyed the convenience of bathing in the onsen in our room and the dinner and breakfast was as superb as we remembered it.
Special mention goes to the kind driver who sent us to Sakamoto Cable Car when we checked out. He went out of his way to bring us to the train station to check whether there were any empty lockers available for our hand luggages and tried his best to communicate with us in English to recommend places to go and restaurants to try. His kindness and joviality stayed with us until we returned to Singapore and is something that we still talk about today.
Thank you to everyone at the Ryokan for making it a memorable trip for my family and I!
