Nagahama
Located in Nagahama, 37 km from Hikone Castle and 21 km from Green Park Santo, GuestHouse去-来-現Ko-Rai-Gen provides air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. With inner courtyard views, this accommodation features a balcony. Parking on-site is available and the guest house also offers a shuttle service for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. It is a nice apartment in a garage loft. The space is spotlessly clean and neatly arranged in a "modern Japanese" style featuring tatami mats, futon beds, shoji doors etc. The host, Asami, is incredibly polite and accommodating. She quickly responded to my messages, picked us up from the train station and never bat an eyelid in response to our "on-the-way" chaotic planning. Asami's husband runs a small buddhist temple. It's very serene and open for the guests. You can also opt in for a guided tour, which we did and liked very much. The bicycles that they provided us (for free!) were very useful for exploring the surroundings. We visited Mount Shizugatake and the Nishino Tunnel. The former has splendid views; the lift was closed but it was a very pleasant walk. Regarding the tunnel: it's good to know there are actually two tunnels, the original and the modern one. This made it very easy to split into two groups (... the Adventurers and the Cowards ...). One great surprise was the Cherry Tree Alley leading to a shrine not far from the Shizugatake lower lift station. We thought we had arrived in Japan too late for the cherry blossoms, but here they had this late blooming variety that allowed us take lovely Sakura photos at the end of April!

The accomodation is a Japanese style house located in a cute neighborhood. Super clean and well equipped. You can use bicycles for free during your stay and explore the area.
