Otsu Hotel Guide - Shozuiji Temple hotels in Otsu, Japan.

"Dinner and breakfast were both amazing. The stay was very enjoyable"

"It's a little outdated, but would stay again."

"The place is lovely, and the staff is wonderful. I’m just not sure it’s worth the trip up to Ohara…"

"The staff was very helpful especially for checking on whether places were open and on obtaining a taxi. The rooms lack places to put your clothes and lack suitcases stands so one must plan to use the limited supply of hangars and live out of a suitcase. The showers are handheld so one might instead plan to use the open facilities and hot baths. The food was excellent and help is available everywhere."

"Such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay on the outskirts of Kyoto ... a hidden and perfect respite to escape the busy city action but still close enough to pop in and check out all the amazing places in town. The facilities, the meals, and the service were awesome, and we'd like to especially mention the wonderful manager who always made us feel special, Koichi Koike! Thank you for a 5-star experience and we are already looking forward to returning to your hotel. Highly highly recommended!"

"Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The onsen was amazing! The dinner and breakfast they serve is very large and delicious. The area is perfect for someone wanting peace and quiet. I would love to go back and stay again!"

"Our whole family loved the stay. Breakfast and kaiseki dinner were great! Onsen in our room was just amazing, I enjoyed every moment of it. Hotel staff was very helpful and rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel itself is a bit off the beaten path and after stampede of tourists in Kyoto offers a calm refuge. If you can rent a car or afford taxi, you can visit all kinds of amazing places without any crowds."

"Fantastic place to stay for my first time in Japan after being in Tokyo. This place receives forwarded luggage, staff are very helpful/kind, the property is easy to navigate, and the shuttle system was great. The shuttle was very helpful getting back and forth from the station. Also, they have a cell phone at the station to call for the shuttle so no need to worry if you don’t have a Japanese phone number. Would stay again and recommend it to foreigners wanting to have a Ryokan experience. Get the half board option because the food was amazing!"

"Good"
