It's only two stops from Kyoto to Otsu by train, about ten minutes. When you arrive, you don't have to go to the taxi stop when you come out of the exit. There is a bus stop sign after crossing the road and passing the small police station. You can wait for the hotel's shuttle bus there. The shuttle bus schedule is in the photo. The taxi cost 700 yen. The hotel is a large and old hotel with standard services. All rooms face the lake. Check in at 3 pm. It feels that there is no possibility of early check-in. The room has been renovated. Unfortunately, the furniture is too old and dirty, and you still have to stand in the bathtub to take a shower. The hotel takes the environmental protection route. There are almost no supplies in the bathroom, that is, there are no toothbrushes and combs. The common problem of Japanese hotels is that the curtains do not block light, and wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning. If you are sensitive to light and want to sleep well, you must have an eye mask. There is no problem with eating. There is a buffet. The hotel also has expensive Japanese cuisine. The teppanyaki restaurant I ate is of excellent quality, but I was arranged in the last corner in front of the board  facing a slanted wall. After eating, no one came to the 5 seats next to me. I don't understand this seating arrangement at all. There are recreational facilities and cheap meals in a building next to it. The travel experience of Lake Biwa depends on the weather. The lake water is not blue when it is cloudy, and it is as blue as the sea when it is clear. It is not worth taking a cruise when it is cloudy. The breakfast is average. There is a hot spring bath.
