Koke Musu inn

Otsu

A recently renovated guest house in Otsu, Koke Musu inn offers outdoor fireplace, private parking and sports facilities. It is situated 12 km from Daigo-ji Temple and provides a shared kitchen. The guest house features city views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. The design and layout of the room was creative and comfortable. Such attention to details - hooks conveniently located, lights at all the right places and all of them are dimmable from a remote control. Very clever use of space to fit in all the amenities. I enjoyed spending time in my room! The common spaces are wonderful too - a brand new pool table at the dining area. Miyu and her husband are very hardworking and talented. I feel so lucky to have been their guest. Highly recommend Koke Musu:Inn to all travellers with a sense of adventure. The inn is a short 15-min walk from the station and is just across Lake Biwa. There are many eateries nearby, as well as convenience stores and supermarkets. Perfect place to spend a few days.

Hiei Blue Roof - Vacation STAY 13887

Otsu

With free WiFi, this 3-bedroom holiday home offers a TV, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and fridge.

Shoren-in Temple is 10 km from the holiday home, while Samurai Kembu Kyoto is 10 km from the property. The nearest airport is Itami Airport, 59 km from Hiei Blue Roof - Vacation STAY 13887. We booked this property with a bit of hesitation as there were very few reviews on booking.com and we didn’t regret it a second! It is in a very peaceful residential area, quiet, restful night’s sleep is guaranteed which was very important to us. The house is warm and cosy as we had a bit of a cold weather it was important. We felt at home and had a great base to explore the city of Kyoto, Otsu and all the surrounding area. There’s everything you would need in a household and more. There’s also a nice garden which we couldn’t use due to the cold weather. The owner is a very sweet attentive lady and a great host who took care of every single need of us, so that we felt like staying in a friend’s house. With or without car this accommodation is a great choice to escape the crowds of Kyoto and yet be in 25 min distance to downtown Kyoto. We stayed there for 10 days and explored the whole area. I cannot recommend Sayo’s place enough! I would love to come again sometime.

Takashima

Set in Takashima and only 50 km from Sanzen-in Temple, 農家のお宿三左衛門邸-別館 Farm stay inn Sanzaemon-tei 1日1組限定一棟貸切ゆったり古民家 滋賀高島 2023OPEN 夏季炭火BBQ追加オプション可能 offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated holiday home is located 27 km from Omimaiko Beach and 30 km from Kehi Jingu Shrine. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. I had a very relaxing and quiet time in an authentic Japanese house in the countryside. After returning from Biwaichi Cycling, we took a nap on the tatami mats and enjoyed BBQ in the garden for dinner. At night it was a pleasure to see fireflies in the brook just nearby. It looks like it can accommodate a few more people. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Guesthouse Shin

Omihachiman

Offering a garden and quiet street view, Guesthouse Shin is located in Omihachiman, 38 km from Sanzen-in Temple and 39 km from Mount Hiei. This guest house offers free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 37 km from Enryaku-ji Temple. My wife and I are not young folks anymore. The trip to the bathroom during the night was somewhat difficult for us. The bedroom was on the upper floor in the lovely traditional Japanese house. The narrow stairway was challenging for us. There is ample room downstairs and perhaps owners would accommodate a request to put the bedding there.
