From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile walk of the property.
Only one restaurant off site in that mile two convenience stores and if you walk a bit further a pretty mellow "redlight" district

Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh.
Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh. But go to have a walk behind the hotel. The countryside is like a Miyazaki movie getting real ! You can go near from there : temples, beach, ski station with incredible view… But with the hotel’s shuttle and the station you have Kyoto, very near, Nara, Osaka a little farther. You’ve got all Kansaï by JR… A good tip : when you go to the station to Shirahige shrine, don’t take bus but walk with GPS. The way is just incredible with village, other shrines so quiet and monkey looking at you from the forest behind rice fields…

Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan. Faced to Biwa lake it has many historical monument and cultural hotspots. In summer the big firework event is so famous to attract many people. In Biwako Hall many world class concerts and plays are performed. Local fishes and sakes are another charm for visitors. Once you come here you cannot help missing this unforgettable city.

At first I thought I might be bored but there’s so much to do! It’s a little difficult to travel from place to place; lots of walking. But there’s lots of history, friendly people, and beautiful nature.

Otsu is a great location to get away from the city life of Japan. It is quite peaceful here and is located next to a large lake (lake biwa) which is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Overall, this location is clean and quiet, different from the bustling cities of Japan and i would recommend this place to those who enjoy a scenic walk and a calm environment.

Beautiful spot near the lake.
Beautiful spot near the lake. Perfect for those that want to stay a little out of the hustle and bussle, in perhaps a bigger / better value for money hotel, but still within close proximity to Kyoto.
Good capsule with newer style capsules, a large-ish lounge to eat and drink and do whatever that also has many modern manga (I like pre 1980s ones myself), location right at the station is my favorite so no getting lost. Best part is that the clientele were all Japanese and know the drill, so no common problems of capsules in places like Tokyo and Osaka with usually foreigners making loud noise/talking or watching phone without headphones in the capsules, leaving giant luggage in the corridor, making a general mess…
The Koke Musu Inn was by far my favorite place to stay during a two week trip to Japan. The house is decorated in a way that was deeply creative and quirky. The room was extremely cozy and well equipped. Best of all, our host was so kind and accommodating. I will be staying here the next time I’m anywhere near Kyoto! I wish I was here for the entire trip.
Phenomenal experience!! My family visited for R&R and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Stayed in Japanese-style suite. Kaiseki dinner and Japenese breakfast were outstanding. Service was very attentive, helpful and efficient. Both open air room and private session thermal baths were awesome. Fantastic value for price. Would stay again.
shuttle bus that took you to and from the train station to the hotel, food was exquisite, service was excellent, very friendly and helpful staff, rooms were very clean and nice and comfortable, private and public baths were clean and beautiful, public onsen was open throughout the night, yukata and Haori were both very comfortable!
the hotel was immaculate, everything is what you would expect from a comfortable, clean and luxury onsen hotel. the staffs are extremely polite, well mannered and attentive. Food was excellent, would highly recommend especially for families with young kids.
The bathroom was unlike "typical" Japanese bathrooms, where there an "elevatation"; I love that I can walk casually and leisurely into the bathroom without tripping.
The room also has a pretty good view!
About 3 mins walk from Otsu station, very convenient.
Gorgeously remodeled traditional inn with all the modern comforts and stylish mid century modern furniture. Very hospitable staff who speak English and have helpful recommendations. Their efforts to revitalize the Ōtsu community are laudable.
Real way of Japanese life with an Onsen for bathroom with Japanese people, living like them. Eating exactly like them. Wearing the yukata. The shuttle to go to the station, the vintage of the hotel, the free power plate. I want to go back.
Great location closed to Biwa lake, free shuttle bus service from and to the train station, super clean, comfy, spacious room with a beautiful view of the lake and the sunrise. Nice breakfast buffet and helpful staff.
The hotel itself is very pleasant. The accommodation was great. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, even delivered my forgotten item to the station. I was able to rewind and relax throughout the stay.
Large and clean Japanese style room, very cozy and well equipped common space kitchen/ living room with a great terrace. Location just a few steps from the lake.
Toilets, showers and bath all super clean.
The hotel was nice. Especially the pillow was very suitable for me, so I could sleep in peace. And I was also delighted to see a crane on the bed. I caught a glimpse of founder’s philosophy, thank you
It was very nice to stay in a real Japanese house. It was well outfitted and very clean with many amenities. It was a little hard to find in the dark. Hostess was very friendly and communicative
The room is spacious and clean. The mattress is good, feel comfortable. Bathroom is big too. Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful, they do their best to serve us. Really like it.

Everything. Japanese design, a combination of modern and old design. Good size room with all amenities. Great staff and welcome. Only 15 minutes by train from Kyoto.
Lovely traditional Japanese decor and spotlessly clean. Very relaxing onsen with a great range of product. The meals were incredible - ready yourself for a feast!
Location is on the lakeside and all rooms have great views. The hotel has an indoor and outdoor hot spring bath.
