About

Biwako Hanakaido occupies a privileged position on a hill facing Lake Biwa, just a twenty-minute train ride from Kyoto Station, with its fourth floor dedicated exclusively to guest rooms with private open-air onsen baths following a comprehensive renovation in 2019. The ryokan offers multiple bathing options, including gender-segregated large public baths with open-air sections and rental facilities for private use, all designed to maximize relaxation and therapeutic benefits. Discerning guests can savor exquisite kaiseki meals featuring premium Omi beef and fresh fish from Lake Biwa, presented with artistic flair that delights both the eye and the palate, creating a truly memorable dining experience.
