The city of Otsu, located in the heart of Japan, has inspired countless poets and travelers with its romantic allure since the Manyo era. Standing gracefully along the shores of Lake Biwa, a symbol of Otsu, is the Biwako Otsu Prince Hotel, a 38-story skyscraper featuring the "Oumi" convention hall, one of the largest in Japan. Designed by Kenzo Tange, a renowned architect who was among the first Japanese to gain global recognition, the hotel offers 529 guest rooms, all facing Lake Biwa. Guests can enjoy a relaxing stay while admiring the ever-changing seasonal beauty of the lake's surface.

With elegant interior design based on American traditional style, heartfelt hospitality, and attentive service, we warmly welcome our guests.
