"紅葉のシーズン、日の出とともに養老の滝まで散策した後いただいた朝食の美味しかったこと日本旅館はいいな。私たち老夫婦には温かいもてなしが何よりです。また、歴史ある数寄屋作りの建物は紅葉と相和し一服の絵の様です。新緑の頃にまた来たいと思いました。"

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing. Seems expensive, but what you get is amazing. Spend the extra Yen and get a floor in the Luxury floors. VIP lobby, foot bath. Private in-room onsen. Dinner and breakfast. Great view of Lake Biwa. The nicest place I have ever stayed in. Free pickup and return to the train station."

What is a historic hotel like in Hikone?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place that's been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Hikone often preserve authentic elements such as period features or traditional architecture in their communal spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
They are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the architecture and actual building. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the place's cultural value and how it inspired the community.
Do historic hotels in Hikone have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.
