The view from the room was excellent! We could see the sunrise from our room. The room was spacious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved the shuttle service from Otsu station as well!

From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile walk of the property.
Only one restaurant off site in that mile two convenience stores and if you walk a bit further a pretty mellow "redlight" district

Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh.
Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh. But go to have a walk behind the hotel. The countryside is like a Miyazaki movie getting real ! You can go near from there : temples, beach, ski station with incredible view… But with the hotel’s shuttle and the station you have Kyoto, very near, Nara, Osaka a little farther. You’ve got all Kansaï by JR… A good tip : when you go to the station to Shirahige shrine, don’t take bus but walk with GPS. The way is just incredible with village, other shrines so quiet and monkey looking at you from the forest behind rice fields…

Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan. Faced to Biwa lake it has many historical monument and cultural hotspots. In summer the big firework event is so famous to attract many people. In Biwako Hall many world class concerts and plays are performed. Local fishes and sakes are another charm for visitors. Once you come here you cannot help missing this unforgettable city.

At first I thought I might be bored but there’s so much to do! It’s a little difficult to travel from place to place; lots of walking. But there’s lots of history, friendly people, and beautiful nature.

Otsu is a great location to get away from the city life of Japan. It is quite peaceful here and is located next to a large lake (lake biwa) which is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Overall, this location is clean and quiet, different from the bustling cities of Japan and i would recommend this place to those who enjoy a scenic walk and a calm environment.

Beautiful spot near the lake.
Beautiful spot near the lake. Perfect for those that want to stay a little out of the hustle and bussle, in perhaps a bigger / better value for money hotel, but still within close proximity to Kyoto.
Everything.The service provided is top notch even though we are using English as a medium of speak. The room is spacious and the bath provided is just so good. Since we're ordering Halal menu set, I would say the menu is fantastic as it includes seafood, beef and chicken which is hard to find for halal option here. The shuttle service also is quite helpful as there is no medium of transportation to the Ryoukan from the station and a mobile phone is provided to contact them at the station.
Great view of Lake Biwa in all rooms. The scenery from the room is relaxing that you may want to stay inside the whole day. Size of room is bigger than a typical hotel in Japan. Daily cleaning of room is done. Round trip hotel shuttle to Otsu station is available every 30 mins. Waiting area for the shuttle are few steps away from Otsu Station. There is a supermarket few steps from the hotel. You can rent bicycle from the hotel to go around lake biwa.
The included breakfast and dinner was a delicious, visually amazing traditional Japanese spread. This place is a must for anyone wishing to get the authentic ryokan experience, though you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone a bit to wear the provided yukata and go to the public bath. Easy transit to Kyoto means you can stay outside the city on your visit.
Phenomenal experience!! My family visited for R&R and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Stayed in Japanese-style suite. Kaiseki dinner and Japenese breakfast were outstanding. Service was very attentive, helpful and efficient. Both open air room and private session thermal baths were awesome. Fantastic value for price. Would stay again.
Yuzanso is a beautiful Ryokan with a view over lake Biwa. The rooms are great and have a beautiful view over Lake Otsu from the bathtub in the room.
The best thing about Yuzansou is that they offer halal options to Muslim travelers, one of the only Ryokans in Japan. So now even Muslims can get the full japanese ryokan experience.
Breakfast and dinner were just amazing, it was like a 5-stars hotel, if not more! Staff was incredibly nice as it's often the case in Japan. The interior of the building is so nice, the room as well. I was sold. I already booked my next stay there in a couple of months!
The innkeeper is an artist and she acts as your surrogate mother while you are here. Be sure to ask for room 203 which is set up as a traditional Japanese living room. She and her husband got up in the middle of the night to see me off. I couldn't recommend more highly.
breakfast was ok, quality was good and had western options and good japanese food. was well run. beds were very comfortable (not hard). reception had very little english but no problem communicating despite this and everything went very smooth
the service group is very good and professional. all the people very kind, onsen is damn nice remember rent included onsen bath in room also. it is very confortable. the dinner also very good. Getting nice experience come to japan
It’s a mix of the traditions and modern. With a very warm welcome from the host, always going the extra mile for us. And the host could speak both Japanese, English and Chinese. A perfect place for travellers.
The view from the room was excellent! We could see the sunrise from our room. The room was spacious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved the shuttle service from Otsu station as well!
Living in a historical Japanese style house. It’s really relaxing and comfortable. And the staffs are super friendly, also the breakfast is very delicious!!
The staff is really nice, helped us shipping luggage to the next hotel. Although a bit far from Kyoto, it's easy to reach and the neighborhood is nice.
