The son and mother running the guesthouse were wonderful. It's a beautiful location, and because it is fairly far from the station, the son picked us up in his van at the station. We did have to call him to get us (which we knew ahead of time), so it's important to have the capability to do so or otherwise arrange it with the guesthouse host. We thoroughly enjoyed the onsen at the hotel with included yukatas and our very spacious room (had a heater/AC as well!). The sheets and yukatas and towels were impeccably clean and pressed. The son and mother had a lovely cafe with free beverages downstairs, and they also had a wonderful breakfast we paid for in the morning. I feel this guesthouse is truly a hidden gem and highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Easily one of the best places I have stayed at in Japan. My husband and I were so charmed during the whole experience.

I loved this place. It was so clean and quiet and the manager couldn't have been more helpful . A real pleasure to work with . Transport links into Kyoto were pretty good too with 20-30 trains every few minutes. Kitchen well stocked , washing machine and even provided a free parking space for my scooter. And best of all a lovely , comfy bed .

A few minutes away from the Kyoto station and has many attractions nearby. A good and safe place for solo travelers. All the necessary facilities are available. The coffee/tea station is opened 24 hours that one can enjoy freely. The staff is very friendly and they can serve as your personal tour guides for Kyoto. My suggestion is to follow their recommendations for food and sightseeing, you wouldn't be disappointed. I really liked the common places. P.S. Don't forget to ask Maki and Sim cute meet :D

Lovely hosts. Unique and amazing design. Manga dolls, fish tanks, movie regalia it’s like being in a museum. The rooms are small but very innovative. Host cleaned and restocked everyday. Good base to explore Shiga.

The room with split level was small but cosy and with so many intriguing details at every turn. You can't help but marvel at the owner's design and attention to detail. The host family was lovely and their communal areas equally fascinating.
