Lodges in Echi District

"The 5 stars is based on the Expedia value and I arrived after dark. With current exchange I paid $46usd for a standard double room. The property has blemishes but it was a tremendous value (even before exchange). My experience was one night and I didn't soak in the public bath. But the residents appeared to enjoy it. I would definitely look at this property again if I'm in Nagahama."

"I love everything about the property :) "

"Near Station and food shop"

"Service was wonderful, as usual, at Toyoko Inn. Prompt & very friendly. Room was clean & comfortable. The breakfast is simple but delicious!"

"Breakfast was good. Near to Hikone station. Great hotel to stay in the Hikone area."

"Incredible stay! The ryokan experience was unforgettable – a memory for life. The staff was knowledgeable and respectful. The public onsen views were stunning, plus there’s a private onsen option for a fee. The free shuttle to and from the train station was super convenient. Highly recommend!"

"Staff was very helpful. Breakfast buffet was good and had a decent variety. Note that early check-in and late check-out are perks for Comfort Club Members, so they enforce the 3pm check-in time for everyone else. If that's important, you should sign up before you arrive. Located on the East side of the station. Most all of the stores and restaurants are located on the West side. Easy enough to go through the station even though Google Maps wants you walk all the way around. Likewise, there are sometimes taxis on the East side, there are always several on the West side. There are two restaurants on the first floor of the hotel. One looked like a large Izakaya chain. It was just okay. Didn't try the other one - Kitaya Kitchen."

"If you are looking for a remote lake get away in northern Otsu this is ideal. This location suits the out door adventure types who want to be away from Otsu city. The lake was an amazing place to swim. What also would be a Great Lake side party atmosphere and relaxation with a group of friends. Amazing cleanliness despite the overall facility being quite old. However rooms and common room air conditioned which was a life saver in the hight of a Japanese summer. The Hostel is not located near any shops and not close to the train station so be prepared to do some serious walking or better rent a bike whilst you are there."

"Nice room with lake view. Breakfast is amazing with variety of Japanese and Western food. However, you have to pay for using a swimming pool "
