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.
The hotel is only 100 meters from Seta station. the staffs are very friendly & helpful. i ask the supervisor to make a reservation for dinner & the supervisor voluntarily brought us personally to the restraurant, Tell the owner we don’t speak Japanese & explain to us how to order. their housekeeping fid a very good job in keeping the room sparkling clean. they deserve more than the maximum stars allowable.
This was our first experience with an Onsen (and first trip to Japan). We paid extra for the deluxe room with an en-suite Onsen bath and it was AWESOME! The room comes with dinner and breakfast, both were excellent and it was fun to get dressed up in the traditional Japanese clothing (provided by hotel).
Everything was better than expected/pictured online, very happy to have selected this property.
This place is run by a very helpful Japanese couple. It's spacious, accommodating, clean, affordable and conveniently located for exploring southern lake Biwa. You can order breakfast to start your day, and they even included delicious homemade dessert on our last morning there. They also gave us great advice on the best places to visit.
the room was overlooking the lake and it was beautiful! There was a free shuttle connecting the JR station and the hotel departing every 20 mins. The bus ride was only 5 mins and you could walk to the hotel in 10-15 mins. Bike rental was not complimentary, but it was fun riding around the lake.
The innkeeper is an artist and she acts as your surrogate mother while you are here. Be sure to ask for room 203 which is set up as a traditional Japanese living room. She and her husband got up in the middle of the night to see me off. I couldn't recommend more highly.
the hotel was immaculate, everything is what you would expect from a comfortable, clean and luxury onsen hotel. the staffs are extremely polite, well mannered and attentive. Food was excellent, would highly recommend especially for families with young kids.
Pretty meh kinda place, so, didn't like anything in particular. That being said, it's not that the place is bad, there's just nothing decent/notable about this accommodation compared to the many other places I've stayed at in Japan.
Very nice hot bath on the balcony as well as very new sauna in the public bath.
A really good location for relaxing and visiting Biwako.
The hotel is very children friendly which we appreciated with our 1-year old daughter.
Fantastic lake view ! Room size is quite bigger than other common Japanese hotels. Hotel bus shuttle between Otsu train station and Hotel was very convenient. Lake side walking or jogging is strongly recommended.
Fantastic view - reason to stay - great panorama because of huge windows, clean and spacious rooms. Free parking. Hotel is located next to Lake Biwa. We enjoyed the breakfast - Western and Japanese style.
Nice room with a great view. The onsen was very nice as well. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Great location near the lake, train stations and restaurants.
Everything. Japanese design, a combination of modern and old design. Good size room with all amenities. Great staff and welcome. Only 15 minutes by train from Kyoto.
there are many facilities available in the hotel, the room is larger than expected. the balcony view is very good. it was also nice to take walks around the hotel.
