Relaxing Onsen Experience

The onsen at Grand Mercure Lake Biwa Resort & Spa provided a tranquil escape. The spaciousness of the baths meant I never felt crowded, even during busy hours. The complimentary drinks like vinegar and amazake added a unique touch that enhanced the experience. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of exploring!

I had a delightful stay at this resort spa! The atmosphere was incredibly calming, and the staff made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms were pristine and cozy, perfect for unwinding after a day of relaxation. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, especially for breakfast choices. The pool area was relaxing, providing an ideal escape. Overall, I felt it was good value for what I paid, though I wish Wi-Fi was complimentary instead of an extra charge.
