From the Facility Representative
The former Biwako Hotel was built as an international hotel after the government provided a loan to Shiga Prefecture to attract foreign visitors.
Since its opening in 1934, the hotel has maintained most of its original architecture, with the same parquet floors, fittings, and lighting fixtures still in use today.
The ""foreign currency exchange office,"" a remnant of the international hotel, and the key box at the former front desk are highlights of the historic facility.
In addition to conferences, the building can also be used as a venue for social gatherings, so please feel free to contact us for more information.
