Fantastic location right across from entrance to castle with great views from rooms on the castle side - it was especially fun to see the castle lit up at night from our room. Walking distance to everything. Lovely staff. Large buffet breakfast with Japanese and western options. Spa services were outstanding.

Nice clean, relatively new room. Reception staff member was very helpful and handled the language barrier with ease. Good facilities like microwave and ice machine easy to find in the lobby. Great value and also included breakfast (can’t say what it was like because we missed it to catch our train).

Hikone is mostly a student town with the castle, and close to the largest lake - Lake Biwa. The sports complex is pretty nice and cool too. I recommend coming here during Sakura for the castle or even snow fall. 1-2 days is enough for a stop for sure.

Hikone is a pleasant place, but not one you should plan a trip around. Possibly best for a day trip. The atmosphere and climate is reminiscent of small cities in New England. The lake is pleasant, but if you're interested in kayaking you should try towns on the western shore of the lake, even though they're more expensive resort towns. Hikone castle is obviously the reason to come here, but there are a few nice local restaurants as well. Other than that, it's mostly auto shops and people revving the engines of their souped-up cars every night.

Hikone Castle is not comparable to Himeji Castle, but its surrounded by many cherry trees. It must look gorgeous during the blossom season. And in the woods below one side of the castle, there are huge number of white birds. It's very impressive to see them returing to their nets in late afternoon. And we do like the lake sunset.

Hikone is easily reached by Shinkansen from Tokyo with a short trip (5 minutes) in a local train. The town has much to offer - an island temple easily reached by boat; a hugely impressive feudal castle (1 of only 4 genuine castles still standing in Japan) with a good museum and surrounded by 2 moats and a beautiful stroll garden. Close to the castle is are attractive streets with good quality shops and some old houses as well. The town is comfortably quiet compared to the nearby Kyoto which is now like Venice and seriously overcrowded. The one disadvantage which the town could fix very easily is that the bus service does not have information on routes and stops in English unlike Kyoto. Finally the time to visit is late March early April when the cherry blossom for which Hikone is famous is in flower.

It’s right next to Hikone station. They had limited, fixed-rate parking on site. The “rain shower” is awesome. The hotel actively discourages overuse of single-use products such as amenity items. You can also get room package deals that are cheaper by not having full cleaning every day. The breakfast salads were crunchy.

From the pickup at Maibara station we had a great experience at Biwafront Hikone. The staff was very welcoming and made us feel at home. The room with private onsen was very spacious and clean. The dinner and breakfast were exceptional. Overall an awesome experience. We just wished we could have stayed longer.

You can see the castle directly from the hotel. The view is stunning. The restaurant on the first floor is very good with high quality wine selection. Shuttle bus service to the railway station is efficient. You can rent bicycles from the hotel.
