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 not large, but it has its attractions, including a castle with perhaps the steepest staircase I've ever seen in such a structure. The town is an excellent base for exploring other interesting sites around Lake Biwa.

I visited Hikone Castle.

I visited Hikone Castle. Every staff member I met at the castle was friendly, and I felt they had love and pride for Hikone, the city where they live. After leaving the castle, I took a bus to my hotel, but I couldn't find the bus stop, so I asked about three passersby. Everyone was polite and helpful, which I appreciated. I stopped by the tourist information center right after getting off at Hikone Station, and was also polite and helpful there. Everyone I met left a good impression. However, it is inconvenient that there are no restaurants or convenience stores in front of the station.

The Ryokan is located pretty close to everything, Hikone Castle and Hikone station can be reached by foot in about 10-20 minutes, restaurant, convenience stores, etc. are also pretty close. The family running the Ryokan was very very friendly and accommodating to me. Everything has been explained to me, but I also speak Japanese so mileage may vary. The bath was very nice and Japanese style. Everything I needed like Toothbrushes, shampoo was available. I liked the room, it was a Japanese style tatami room with a comfortable Futon bed.

The staff at this hotel were exceptionally kind and welcoming! We arrived on motorcycles and were able to park them for free under the shelter right by the entrance. The room was spacious, and we had a wonderfully comfortable sleep. The bathroom was also impressively large, with an equally spacious bathtub. The location is excellent, making it easy to go for a walk, sightsee, or find something delicious to eat nearby.

This guesthouse/cafe combination is set in a peaceful residential area of Hikone. The owner is really friendly. He is happy to help you with travel advice. There is a nice common space with a view of Hikone Castle. The dorm was very simple, but I found the bed to be comfortable. Great value stay in Hikone!
