"Beautiful hotel, clean room and comfortable. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very good, even has grill seafood by your own on the dining table. Free shuttle bus to hotel from train station and only a few minutes journey. Will come back again and try the in room onset next time. "

"This place was cool, and had an emphasis on Americanism, with President roooms including a JFK room. It was really nice to experience! We noticed lot of school kids stayed in the hotel, probably for the American historical context, or that it was just right by one of the main train stops. Either way, the people in this area are all so nice and friendly, way more thab the big city of Tokyo. Genuinely enjoyed our stay around this place, and there's a ton of food options nearby, including a giant mall. The room we stayed in was pretty big, and the hotel staff are very helpful! Definitely reccomend staying here to explore the area, and to go visit Otsu and Koka Ninja House which isnt far from this hotel."

"I am absolutely obsessed with this hotel & will be back for my next trip to Japan. staff were extremely accommodating & helpful despite any language barrier (easily solved with google translate). the amenities alone are amazing & don’t get me started on the breakfast! please be sure to book yourself breakfast for at least one or two days so you can experience it. one of my favorite meals in the entirety of my trip.

"Loved having a drawer of kimonos to choose from to wear for our stay! The room was wonderful and we saw the beautiful sunrise from our bed. It was really a special experience. The private bath on our balcony was so nice and relaxing. The staff is super, very well trained and attentive. They make you feel special from the moment you walk in with a snack and a drink. We purchased some quality souvenirs from the gift shop. The half board is a grand experience. The onsens are unforgettable. I went early and had the whole place to myself."

"Very nice hotel with private onsen in the room. The half board is also good. I would recommend to stay there for a visit. "

"Love this hotel on Lake Biwa - lovely rooms with beautiful lake view. Nice onsen and good breakfast 😀"

"Thank you for the unexpected room upgrade!"

"The ryokan was absolutely wonderful. It was authentic Japan culture and style in an a breathtaking location. The food was an elaborate 11 coarse meal that was delicious Japanese cuisine. The whole stay was a a glimpse of Japanese culture and tradition. I highly recommend for the cultural tourist."

"I’ve been to many capsules across Japan and my stay here was at the too. Yes, I’ve stayed in Kyoto, Osaka, but wanted to spend a few days in Ōtsu and experience a slower pace and so glad I did! The reviews on Google and Orbitz rated The Calendar high so I gave it a try and I was not disappointed. However, I do need to mention if you are sensitive to smell you might notice the slight scent of smoke. The entire capsule is non-smoking, however there is a smoking room, that when smokers return it might linger with them. To me, I only noticed the first hour at check-in and after that I didn’t notice anything. The good? How about everything else! No elevator so if you have two luggage you might need to make two trips, but the steps you are greeted by a very popular Italian restaurant which is part of the hotel. The staff is friendly, professional and will make your stay pleasant. The bed is somewhat on the thin side and pillow non-existent, but overall I had no issues falling asleep. In your capsule you do have a TV but good luck finding anything with subtitles lol. The bathrooms and showers are modern and clean, The common area very spacious and relaxed. The bonus is it’s at the entrance/exit of the JR train station! Biwa Lake a 10-minute walk away. So if in Ōtsu looking to get away from the crowds I highly suggest a stay at The Calendar. I stayed for two nights and felt recharged going back to Osaka. 10-stars! Arigatō! "
