Top Kozokunosato Museum Hotel Reviews

Yumotokan

10/10 Excellent

"The amenities are endless. The staff are amazing. We didn't want to leave."

Biwako Hotel

8/10 Good

"room fine bathroom a bit dated as is the rest of the hotel. overall good location right on lake all rooms have view of lake pool is free for resident but very over clorinated which gave us all bad rashes. so only used once which was a sham as reason we stayed there. station close and hotel has shuttle bus to station 3 times an hour which was good over all hotel ok probably not to my taste but very popular with locals we were only english there and a good place to stay away from hustle and bustle of kyoto but easy access as only two stops on train. stayed there 20 years ago and it hadn’t changed since then"

Kyoto Ohara Ryokan Seryo

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the place, very quiet, tucked away from busy Kyoto. The onsen in our garden is fantastic. The stuff is very nice and professional."

moksa Rebirth Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely adored my stay here only wish it was longer. Nicely remote because I find the tourists in Kyoto quite overwhelming and the sauna was lovely. Breakfast was also amazing and they accommodated my allergies without stress."

Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu

10/10 Excellent

"Toyoko Hotels are usually great. They are clean, convenient, and affordable, and they tend to have lots of useful amenities or people who might have forgotten to bring something like a toothbrush or razor. This particular hotel has a really convenient location that's a short walk from several train stations and from a couple of very charming and pleasant shopping arcades. Miidera (三井寺) and Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) are also manageable walks. Otsu is a lovely and underrated city, and this hotel is in a really nice part of the city."

Satoyu Mukashibanashi Yuzanso Ryokan

10/10 Excellent

"The traditional Japanese rooms are enjoyable and make your stay something else, if possible get a room with a outdoor hinoki bath they're amazing."

Toyoko Inn Biwako Line Minami Kusatsu Station

10/10 Excellent

"Rom spotless. Excellent polite, helpful staff."
