Fantastic property for a family of 4. We booked adjoining rooms so that we each had a twin bed to sleep in. The pajamas and amenities were a nice added touch. The attendant at the front desk was super helpful.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Hikone holiday package cost?
You'll find cheap prices from AU$1,776 on Expedia for your Hikone break. However, a range of factors like the length of stay, hotel choice and season will influence how much your holiday to Hikone costs.
What are the cheapest months to go to Hikone?
To pick up cheap Hikone holiday packages, plan your trip outside of busy periods such as school holidays. You'll typically find better availability and lower prices for flights and hotels.
How many days is enough for Hikone?
To get the most out of your Hikone holiday, we recommend booking for 2 days. Divide your time between discovering Yonbancho Square, Konki Park and other major sights, in addition to experiencing neighbourhoods like Sugatani Onsen and Onoe Onsen. If you've got some time to spare, include a day trip or tour in your Hikone holiday itinerary.

How to find the best Hikone package deals?
Use Expedia's filter tool to help you find some of the best Hikone package deals. When you begin your search, just set your maximum budget and then sort the results by "Price: low to high."
