The breakfast was fine for us. The location was convenient. The parking was nearby and not unreasonable.
There were restaurants nearby for dinner. The staff who assisted me also spoke some English.

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.
Yuzanso is a beautiful Ryokan with a view over lake Biwa. The rooms are great and have a beautiful view over Lake Otsu from the bathtub in the room.
The best thing about Yuzansou is that they offer halal options to Muslim travelers, one of the only Ryokans in Japan. So now even Muslims can get the full japanese ryokan experience.
We like how the beds were elevated , so we could put our luggages underneath the bed frame. That gives much more space to walk around in the room. The bathroom size is bigger than most Japanese hotel. Which is good 👍 maybe it is because we booked a triple room also. Not sure a standard room comes with same size of bathroom or not.
Accomodating, amazing helpful staff. They booked a reservation at a brilliant local restaurant for us and helped us when we couldn't work out the lock for the front door!
The room surpassed our expectations - photos do not do this place justice!
The Japanese bath was lovely!
Everything. Food is excellent, staff are extremely friendly, room is big and clean with a hot spring bath. Hotel provides shuttle service from/to the JR station, and it also provide shuttle service to/from the nearby cable car for sight seeing.
The spa was good too.
Hotel has shuttle to pick me up when I arrive at the onsen station. The receptionists are very nice. Quick check in, and arrange for our dinner time. There couple onsen locate in different floors. And also has private room for couples. The food is delicious.
Gorgeously remodeled traditional inn with all the modern comforts and stylish mid century modern furniture. Very hospitable staff who speak English and have helpful recommendations. Their efforts to revitalize the Ōtsu community are laudable.
Bathroom was in Japanese style (wet room + bath tub and toilet, washing basin are separated by doors) and very confortable. it was a bit tight for 4 people, but not too small for just sleeping.
Shuttle bus from Otsu station came on time.
The quiet location, the helpful staff and the shuttle from the hotel to the train station. The room was big too and had a beautiful view, we could have seen fireworks but we got lost and got to the hotel after they finished
Very friendly staff, always happy to oblige. Beautiful large room with spectacular lake view. We ate in the Italian and Garden buffet restaurants, food in both was fabulous if a little pricey by Japanese standards.
It’s a mix of the traditions and modern. With a very warm welcome from the host, always going the extra mile for us. And the host could speak both Japanese, English and Chinese. A perfect place for travellers.
Spacious room with lake view, comfortable bed, and onsen.
The location was most convenient and the shuttle bus was also a great help. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I like this hotel a lot.
It was very well located, literally at the train station. The facilities were clean and they provided pretty much everything you need. Also, the restaurant is so good!!
