Hikone Castle Resort & Spa

After a crowded Kyoto, I love the peaceful and tranquil environment of this beautiful onsen hotel-ryokan and charming castle town. Everything about the hotel speaks of relaxation and well-being. It's only a 7-8min walk away from Hikone Train Station but there is a hotel shuttle that leaves at 9, 10 and 11 am if you need a drop off. Pick up could probably be arranged too. The hotel offers a pretty outdoor terrace with Castle view, an on-site spa with massage, a library lounge with free drinks till 10pm, a foot reflex corner and a compact onsen with a silk bath (all with Castle view) and hot stone benches. I had the whole onsen to myself in the evening, so it was very relaxing. The staff are kind and lovely too, making an effort to explain all the services and amenities in English. The buffet breakfast was also one of the better ones I've seen in my trips to Japan. If you're visiting the Castle, the entrance road is right outside the hotel. The main castle road is about 5-10 min away but you will pass by a famous Japanese confectionery, Taneya and Club Harie. Their souvenirs are one that even the Japanese cherish. I would wish to come here again with my partner one day. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

일본 100명성 스탬프를 하는 여행객이라 하루 종일 많이 걸어 피로를 푸는게 정말 중요했었는데요, 이번 호텔은 정말 최고였습니다. 여러 지역의 많은 일본호텔을 가보았지만, 단연코 최고였습니다. 친절한 서비스는 물론이고, 특히 스파 안에서 바라보는 히코네 성 풍경은 낮/밤 모두 장관이었습니다. 그리고 스파가 마치 며칠 전에 지은 것처럼 물때 하나 없이 정말 깨끗했습니다. 조식도 정말 맛있었습니다. 다음에는 가족들과 함께 더 길게 방문하려고 합니다. 감사했습니다!

非常方便的一家温泉酒店。酒店提供車站接送站服務，車程衹有5分鐘。酒店對面就是彥根城，晚上泡湯可以看到開燈的彥根城（衹到每天的22：00），泡湯後二樓有室外平台和室內酒吧也可以邊休息邊欣賞彥根城的景色，房間乾淨衞生,可以放心入住，也是日本當地人度假的首選。我們定的含餐的住宿，早餐是自助形式，餐品豐富，咖啡很好喝。白天去彥根城步行也不遠，酒店提供出租自行車，也可騎車前往。彥根城的彥根貓人偶表演很可愛的。一次非常滿意的度假體驗。

這個酒店以能夠看見彥根城為最大賣點,但其實和天守閣有點遠,看得一般清楚,但係景觀已經相當唔錯o注意！一定要注意座向才能夠看見天守閣,否則是街景？酒店整體都很美觀,設施精美,但數量少！最值得推介嘅係位於二樓嘅觀景酒吧！

駅からは少々距離があるものの、パスでのピックアップがあり、便利だった。朝食も非常に美味しく、夜のラウンジとライトアップされた彦根城での滞在は素晴らしかった。

地點很優 環境乾淨 唯獨接駁車不便利，此次飛驒高山的另一家飯店主動以mail頻繁聯繫我們到達時間以利接送，但這裡沒有做到這個部份，以至於我們拖了10幾分鐘的行李才抵達飯店，即便因為景色優美，房間舒適，但因為該項服務不好，下次會找尋其他選擇。

Great view of Hikone Castle right in front of the hotel. Nice public bath with castle view.

A very enjoyable trip Staff are hospitality
