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.
Location is very nice as it is just opposite the station. I was given a quiet room as requested with a good view as a bonus. But other rooms may face some buildings. The hotel is near a good supermarket so it’s easy to get some quick meals or if you need something urgent. Good laundry facility on the 3rd floor as the cost is reasonable and it is easy to use. The receptionists are very helpful and caring despite their limited English. There’s a pharmacy just next to the hotel which is important when Covid is still around.
I loved everything about this stay. The hotel and rooms are beautiful and very traditional. We had the room with the garden view and I highly recommend, I could have sat on that porch for hours looking at the garden. The staff were so friendly and helpful and very patient with my terrible Japanese! The breakfast was delicious and v generous. Good location - easy to find and walking distance from the station. I recommend the local restaurant Kadoman to try Omi beef, the best meal of my life!
This was our first experience with an Onsen (and first trip to Japan). We paid extra for the deluxe room with an en-suite Onsen bath and it was AWESOME! The room comes with dinner and breakfast, both were excellent and it was fun to get dressed up in the traditional Japanese clothing (provided by hotel).
Everything was better than expected/pictured online, very happy to have selected this property.
The Koke Musu Inn was by far my favorite place to stay during a two week trip to Japan. The house is decorated in a way that was deeply creative and quirky. The room was extremely cozy and well equipped. Best of all, our host was so kind and accommodating. I will be staying here the next time I’m anywhere near Kyoto! I wish I was here for the entire trip.
This place is run by a very helpful Japanese couple. It's spacious, accommodating, clean, affordable and conveniently located for exploring southern lake Biwa. You can order breakfast to start your day, and they even included delicious homemade dessert on our last morning there. They also gave us great advice on the best places to visit.
It was our first onsen experience and it was superb!
You have a very great view of the lake. Room is very spacious.
It's our first time as well to stay at a traditional Japanese room, wear yukata and it was a great experience.
Excellent dinner and breakfast.
They can pick you up at the train station which is very convenient.
it’s a hotel for relaxing in the 4 shared Onsens are fantastic 2 indoor and 2 outdoor. Food was amazing on the hotel if a little expensive
Good size room
Basement has a Pool Table and Table Tennis table which hadn’t played in years
The view from the roof top Onsen at night is just as per the photograph -awesome
We loved the views from the room of the lake & surrounding area. The free shuttle from Otsu station was extremely helpful. Ostu station is a convenient short 10 minute trip from Kyōto station. Being away from the busy city area meant a quiet, serene setting for a goodnight's sleep.
The place was incredibly peaceful. It's situated near Bodai Temple, and in the morning, I accompanied some people in their worship rituals at the temple. Experiencing this Japanese-style garden worship was truly a new and enriching experience for me.
Real way of Japanese life with an Onsen for bathroom with Japanese people, living like them. Eating exactly like them. Wearing the yukata. The shuttle to go to the station, the vintage of the hotel, the free power plate. I want to go back.
The location is excellent: right outside of Seta station. There's are convenience stores and an excellent restaurant nearby. Room size is small just like all other business hotels in Japan, and the entire hotel is very clean.
Everything. Japanese design, a combination of modern and old design. Good size room with all amenities. Great staff and welcome. Only 15 minutes by train from Kyoto.
Lovely traditional Japanese decor and spotlessly clean. Very relaxing onsen with a great range of product. The meals were incredible - ready yourself for a feast!
Location is on the lakeside and all rooms have great views. The hotel has an indoor and outdoor hot spring bath.
Shuttle bus every 30 minutes from Otsu station.
