The guest house features city views, a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. The couple who run the Inn are kind and hospitable. They were helpful in assisting me in all manners. Their charm was accompanied by the unique construction and style that decorate the establishment. Quite simply you must see it to appreciate it.

A free shuttle runs to/from JR Ogoto-Onsen Station, which is a 5-minute ride away. Service very good. Everything was explained to us in English (as we don't speak Japanese). And very detailed. Dinner and breakfast were really good..They took the effort to serve us different menus as we stayed 2 nights. Very organised.

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.

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.
