Top Arihara Hotel Reviews

Grand Mercure Lake Biwa Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"It’s a big property right on Lake Biwa. We were quite happy with our roomy room on the 10th floor with a nice morning view on the lake. The hotel gets quite busy though, so many of the amenities are a bit harder to enjoy - lots of people at the onsen, gaming area gets quite busy too. The local souvenir shop is actually reasonably priced. The concierge went out of his way to help us organise an activity in Hikone and guided us on the best way to get there. Would recommend but I’d avoid weekends and Japanese school holidays."

Guest House Mikata
