From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile walk of the property.
Only one restaurant off site in that mile two convenience stores and if you walk a bit further a pretty mellow "redlight" district

Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh.
Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh. But go to have a walk behind the hotel. The countryside is like a Miyazaki movie getting real ! You can go near from there : temples, beach, ski station with incredible view… But with the hotel’s shuttle and the station you have Kyoto, very near, Nara, Osaka a little farther. You’ve got all Kansaï by JR… A good tip : when you go to the station to Shirahige shrine, don’t take bus but walk with GPS. The way is just incredible with village, other shrines so quiet and monkey looking at you from the forest behind rice fields…

Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan. Faced to Biwa lake it has many historical monument and cultural hotspots. In summer the big firework event is so famous to attract many people. In Biwako Hall many world class concerts and plays are performed. Local fishes and sakes are another charm for visitors. Once you come here you cannot help missing this unforgettable city.

At first I thought I might be bored but there’s so much to do! It’s a little difficult to travel from place to place; lots of walking. But there’s lots of history, friendly people, and beautiful nature.

Otsu is a great location to get away from the city life of Japan. It is quite peaceful here and is located next to a large lake (lake biwa) which is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Overall, this location is clean and quiet, different from the bustling cities of Japan and i would recommend this place to those who enjoy a scenic walk and a calm environment.

Beautiful spot near the lake.
Beautiful spot near the lake. Perfect for those that want to stay a little out of the hustle and bussle, in perhaps a bigger / better value for money hotel, but still within close proximity to Kyoto.
Good capsule with newer style capsules, a large-ish lounge to eat and drink and do whatever that also has many modern manga (I like pre 1980s ones myself), location right at the station is my favorite so no getting lost. Best part is that the clientele were all Japanese and know the drill, so no common problems of capsules in places like Tokyo and Osaka with usually foreigners making loud noise/talking or watching phone without headphones in the capsules, leaving giant luggage in the corridor, making a general mess…
Everything.The service provided is top notch even though we are using English as a medium of speak. The room is spacious and the bath provided is just so good. Since we're ordering Halal menu set, I would say the menu is fantastic as it includes seafood, beef and chicken which is hard to find for halal option here. The shuttle service also is quite helpful as there is no medium of transportation to the Ryoukan from the station and a mobile phone is provided to contact them at the station.
Relaxing and beautiful environment. Private onsen room had a gorgeous view of the lake and the onsen itself was very refreshing. The staff makes you feel very welcomed and they take good care of you. The traditional Japanese style rooms were spacious and comfortable. Easy access to the ryokan from the train station via the shuttle bus they provide. Would come back anytime!

The place was incredibly peaceful. It's situated near Bodai Temple, and in the morning, I accompanied some people in their worship rituals at the temple. Experiencing this Japanese-style garden worship was truly a new and enriching experience for me.
Staff were friendly and my son loved the kids pack. Location was great next to valor supermarket and food restaurants. Superb view of lake biwa, and super convenient with the shuttle bus out to jr otsu train station. Love it!
Hotel with 4 connected buildings. Room was large with ensuite onsen. Hotel has nice onsen on 3 indoor + outdoor locations. Breakfast was nice with good quality food and service. A bit pricey but overall a nice hotel
Large and clean Japanese style room, very cozy and well equipped common space kitchen/ living room with a great terrace. Location just a few steps from the lake.
Toilets, showers and bath all super clean.
This was a hidden treasure. I was very happy to have found this place. Wonderful hosts, very welcoming and caring, everything very clean and newly renovated. Authentic Japanese. Absolutely wonderful!
The view from the room was excellent! We could see the sunrise from our room. The room was spacious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved the shuttle service from Otsu station as well!
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The tour of the local area was engaging and informative. It really made me appreciate the city of Otsu. I would love to come back.
Living in a historical Japanese style house. It’s really relaxing and comfortable. And the staffs are super friendly, also the breakfast is very delicious!!
The staff is really nice, helped us shipping luggage to the next hotel. Although a bit far from Kyoto, it's easy to reach and the neighborhood is nice.
