Aria

Very near to station! And situated opposite a mall where there’s daiso and a supermarket so overall it’s a super convenient spot.
The breakfast spread (Japanese breakfast set topped with buffet spread) was tasty and good value for money.
The room was bigger than usual Japanese hotel sizes we saw in the past and comfortable space overall. View was good too

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.YiChina - 10Scored 10

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.EricUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Hikone is just the right distance from Kyoto when travelling by bicycle to ride around Lake Biwa. Its castle grounds turn pink in the spring cherry blossom season and reflect beautifully in the moat's waters. Other seasons have their own distinctive attractions. In all seasons the local beef is great, all you need is an appetite.

Nice castle and the lake.
Nice castle and the lake. It will probably take just a day to see everything. There aren’t really much else to do, so I would recommend Hikone to those, who can’t go to Himeji or who really like castles. There are nice mountains as well, but this is another story.EvgenyJapan - 8.0Scored 8.0
I enjoyed walking around the castle and garden.
I enjoyed walking around the castle and garden. I was surprised by how much there was to see at the castle grounds. I found myself intrigued by the architecture and most of all the view from the castle was amazing. You get a 360 view of the whole town including Lake Biwa.

- From £102.94 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 253 reviewsIn some ways this is one of my favorite places I’ve stayed in Japan. It’s a very comfortable ryokan with a traditional atmosphere. The tatami room and futon were very comfortable, I was happy to have a yukata to wear when relaxing, and the bath is really nice. The gardens and all the decorations really added to the atmosphere. It felt very cozy. It’s also good for solo travelers, and seems to have a variety of rooms for big and smaller groups of guests too.WhitneyJapan
- From £102.94 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 253 reviewsThis was the best place I stayed in Japan - an awesome, massive traditional room, on a wonderful traditional street (there's a fishmongers opposite that looks like something out of the 19th century). The owner couldn't have been more welcoming and he gave us a lift back to the station in his car the next morning. No lack of comfort, with aircon etc., and the lack of ensuite was no big deal.
JamesUnited Kingdom - From £400.31 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 24 reviewsPure class and luxury! Fantastic onsen and view from the balcony! Exceptional customer service! Great size of the room considerably beyond Japanese but even European hotel standards. Free drinks in a super comfortable lounge on the top floor. The 3 stars raring given to this hotel must be a joke, it is absolutely comparable to a 5 stars one.
KirilBelgium - From £49.91 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 1,371 reviewsThis hotel is a great value. It was clean, quiet, pretty spacious and it had great wifi. The gentleman at the front desk was gracious and even allowed me to check in early. While English wasn’t his strong suit, he defintiely tried and I really appreciated it as my Japanese is not very good at all.

BruceAustralia - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 148 reviewsEverything about it: the location (and views), the much-noted breakfast, complimentary beer and hot baths. It was peak cherry blossom so I was spoiled, but I’d happily visit again at other times of the year.
