Recommended sightseeing spots

Hikone Castle 10 min walk from the hotel

The castle glistening in the moonlight is beautiful and Lake Biwa seen from the third floor of the castle gate is a sight to behold.
We recommend the castle villa, uchibori and nakabori of Hikone Castle that still looks like it did in old times, along with the famous Genkyuen and the scenic beauty, Rakurakuen.
