Biwako Hanakaido is located in the hills of Ogoto Onsen on the west bank of Lake Biwa. At Biwako Hanakaido, you can witness the incredible view of the lake shimmering with the rising morning sun from your room. Upon arriving, you will be instantly greeted by the warmth and hospitality of our staff along with seasonal floral decor. You’ll feel soothed and at peace as you admire the changing of the seasons in the courtyard and entrance. Our farm-to-plate cuisine is cooked by a master chef with fresh local ingredients from Omi and is served in a banquet style. With so much abundant splendor in Shiga including Lake Biwa, we want Biwako Hanakaido to be a place where you can connect with people, nature, history, and the region.
