Ogoto Onsen Biwako Ryokusuitei

Shiga Prefecture／Ogoto Onsen
There are no vacancies in this facility.

Enjoy the breathtaking views at this lakeside accommodation nestled on the western shore of Lake Biwa.

Shiga, Ōmi. A serene and gentle scenery of Lake Biwa comes to mind. On the western shore of Lake Biwa, with the lush green Hiei mountain range behind and the expansive Lake Biwa in front, lies a beautiful location. A design concept that utilizes the blessings of nature, creating a space where you can cherish moments of relaxation. A Ryokan with open-air baths on the lake's surface supplied with Onsen water, offering a sense of liberation and breathtaking views.

  • A top-rated Ryokan in every way—I’d love to stay here again.

    I interacted with many staff members, and every one of them greeted us with a wonderful smile and thoughtful service. Thanks to them, we were able to spend our time comfortably from start to finish.The Happy Hour and post-bath drinks, ice cream, and other items were constantly replenished. Even with many guests, we never had to wait for refills, so we could relax without any stress. The Room had been renovated and was kept extremely clean—not only the Room itself but also the open-air bath in the Room. We also really appreciated that towels were provided not only in the Room but also at the large public bath, which meant we could use fresh towels every time without having to dry them ourselves—perfect for us since we like bathing multiple times. Dinner was served in a private dining room, and the staff member in charge carefully explained each dish as it was served. The portions were generous and we were very satisfied. We arrived 30 minutes late due to our own mistake, but they accommodated us immediately without showing any displeasure. Breakfast was buffet-style as well, but it was in semi-private seating so we could enjoy it at ease without worrying about others around us. We especially loved being able to grill dried fish and seafood at our table.This Ryokan is the first Accommodation I have ever checked out of with absolutely nothing that bothered me. It is the highest-rated among all the Ryokan and Hotels I have stayed at so far! Thank you very much. This is a Ryokan I would love to stay at again if I have another opportunity.
