Hikone Castle Resort & Spa
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 was a wonderful Hotel where we could truly enjoy Lake Biwa.The Room offered a panoramic view of Lake Biwa and felt incredibly open and airy. The interior also had a luxurious touch, and we genuinely enjoyed simply spending time in the Room.All of the staff provided excellent service, proactively checking in with us, so we never had any trouble during our stay.The Onsen was especially memorable. The water quality was excellent, and the view of Lake Biwa from the open-air bath was exceptional. On the day we stayed, a crescent moon reflected on the lake’s surface, creating an enchanting scene. The amenities were also high quality.We were very satisfied with the all-inclusive lounge as well. With its high ceilings and spacious atmosphere, enjoying drinks freely while looking out over Lake Biwa was truly fantastic.Dinner featured an outstanding full-course Omi beef meal—so much so that it felt like great value for what you get. There was also a wide selection of drinks, and we were especially happy to see many local sake options available. They paired perfectly with the fresh ingredients.Breakfast was a buffet featuring locally sourced ingredients with plenty of variety. The restaurant had ample seating, so we could dine comfortably without waiting while enjoying views of Lake Biwa.If I had one request, it would be helpful to have a Plan without dinner as an option—this would make it easier for guests on a Multiple Night Stay to enjoy dining out for one evening.For that reason, we changed our stay from two nights to one night this time; however, after actually staying here, it was such an excellent Hotel that we regretted not booking a Multiple Night Stay.Next time, we would definitely like to stay for multiple nights.
タロベさん 8/22/2026We could see Hikone Castle from both our Room and the bath, which made it feel truly special. The yukata and haori were adorable, and both the Room and the bath were clean and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and being able to enjoy freshly fried tempura in the morning felt like a luxury. The on-site souvenir shop was well stocked, and our whole family had a wonderful trip to Hikone.
