Biwako Hanakaido
520-0101 Shiga, Otsu, Ogoto 1-3-1, Japan – Great location - show map
We booked for a private room with an open air hotspring bath and its just wonderful. It's a bit japanese style room with a japanese style entrance, toilet and washroom separate from the main bathroom area and hotspring. Overall room is cozy. Open air bath has a wash area similar to what you expect from a proper onsen but with privacy because its all yours and a huge area for hotspring that can probably fit up to 3-4 people, plus a view of lake Biwa. I didn't really expected the dinner to be that extravagant because we are send to a private dining room separate from other guess and served a half course meal to the delight and surprise of both of us. Also the view from the window which is a garden is reall beautiful. Service from the staff is just top notch. Price is just amazing for the servce and facility offered, it is a private room with an open air hotspring with dinner and breakfast already included.
