Shiga Prefecture/HikoneA prime spot with views of Hikone Castle, featuring a large public bath where you can soak while gazing at the castle keep.
Hikone Castle Resort & Spa is located in an excellent location with a direct view of the Hikone Castle keep and the Sawaguchi Tamon Yagura. Enjoy the changing expressions of Hikone Castle's scenery throughout the day. The resort offers new attractions that blend stunning views, such as twin rooms with a wide castle view and the "Shiromi-no-Yu" bath, where you can relax while gazing at the castle keep. For dining, indulge in "Japanese cuisine that delights the senses," featuring premium Omi beef and ingredients from Lake Biwa and Omi, with live cooking demonstrations and ingredient presentations by our chefs.
It’s in a truly prime location just steps from Hikone Castle, with beautiful castle views.You can also enjoy the view from the large public bath.The bath is fully stocked with essentials such as towels, bath towels, and cleansing products, so you can go without bringing anything.The complimentary drink service was excellent as well. The beer while looking out at Hikone Castle was delicious.I was able to relax and spend time in a calm, comfortable setting.
かなぴよ55 5/19/2026We stayed in a castle-view Room with a direct view of Hikone Castle.\nThe illuminated Hikone Castle right in front of us and the night scenery with white herons flying around were wonderful.\nA morning walk around the moat was also pleasant.\nFor dinner, we had the teppanyaki anniversary course at Restaurant Houou.\nWe truly enjoyed the Grand Chef’s superb skills.\nThe meal was also senior-friendly, and we were very satisfied.\nHowever, it was disappointing that there were few Western options at the breakfast buffet, which left us a bit unsatisfied as bread eaters.\nWe would like to stay here again when we visit Hikone.
