  • Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel
  • What hotels in Shiga are recommended? I'd love to know why!

I'm planning a trip to Japan and will be staying in Kyoto. I've heard Shiga is a great place, especially for families with children. I'm having trouble figuring out where to stay. Can you recommend a hotel in the Lake Biwa area? I'd love to hear what makes the hotel special, as well as some local insights and tips!

Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel

4-7-7 Nionohama, Otsu-shi, Shiga

  • Baby-friendly access and facilities

  • Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel is just two stops from Kyoto Station, about 10 minutes away, and there's a free shuttle bus from Otsu Station, making it extremely accessible. The hotel has a nursing room (diaper changing area) on the first floor, and they even lend out baby bottle sterilizer sets for free. All rooms have a beautiful lake view, so it's highly recommended for families with babies who want to relax in their rooms.

  • Especially recommended for summer vacation, the pool and the buffet with Breathtaking view view are the best

  • If you're visiting in the summer, we recommend Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel. There's a large outdoor pool shaped like Lake Biwa, and a shallow children's pool, so kids will have a blast playing there. The restaurant buffet on the 37th floor is a staple in the evening. They have a wide selection of roast beef and Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes, and kids' favorites like hamburgers and fries, as well as soft serve ice cream that you can make yourself, which was a delight. They also hold summer festival events during certain periods, so you can enjoy the hotel all day long.

  • The whole family will be delighted with the spacious rooms and lake views from all rooms.

  • If you're staying in Shiga as a base for sightseeing in Kyoto, Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel is a great choice. This 38-story high-rise hotel has all rooms facing Lake Biwa. The panoramic view from the windows is truly spectacular. If you're traveling with your family, we recommend choosing a room with a bathroom with a washing area. It was very easy to give small children a bath. It's also conveniently located just 10 minutes by train from Kyoto Station, making travel less of a hassle.
