“The public bath is a definite plus, and the complimentary breakfast is a generous start to the day. While you're conveniently situated for exploring Hikone Castle and the surrounding area, I would suggest booking one of the few rental bikes early. Overall, it's a comfortable and well-maintained base for exploring the region.”
