Featuring a shared lounge, bar and views of garden, Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho is located in Otsu, 5.7 miles from Daigo-ji Temple.

Nice location in Otsu, Shiga. The hotel owners have done a nice job updating some of the old post town homes, maintaining the external facade while fully updating the interiors in Japanese style.

Located on the shores of Lake Biwa, Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel offers rooms with lake views, 7 restaurants and an outdoor pool. Lake cruises are available in front of the hotel.

I loved my stay at the lake biwa otsu prince hotel: the views are amazing; the shuttle bus convenient; the staff polite and extremely helpful; the bed comfortable and the room was extremely clean. My only minor gripe is that I wish that the bath area has an enclosed changing area and there were more hooks to hang your stuff on.

    From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile...

    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...

    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.

    Great view of Lake Biwa in all rooms. The scenery from the room is relaxing that you may want to stay inside the whole day. Size of room is bigger than a typical hotel in Japan. Daily cleaning of room is done. Round trip hotel shuttle to Otsu station is available every 30 mins. Waiting area for the shuttle are few steps away from Otsu Station. There is a supermarket few steps from the hotel. You can rent bicycle from the hotel to go around lake biwa.

    Staff were very friendly and kept my bag for me while I went traveling around the city. They even upgraded my room to a twin (which has never happened to me before) so I got to enjoy a larger room. Beds were comfy, complimentary water was provided. Even the VOD was free (this is usually a paid service, so was a nice surprise). Hotel is also located a stone's throw away from the local station, and has a convenience store right next door.

    Huge room size and the bed is just facing towards the lake. The view is magnificent. Breakfast is great with lots of food option. Bike rental available (normal bike & electric bike). The hotel also provide shuttle bus service to Otsu Station (3 bus every hour). The Pier is just few steps from hotel and they offer 20% off for cruise ticket.
