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!

Located within 13 km of Mount Hiei and 14 km of Enryaku-ji Temple in Sakamoto, Jonni`s Place provides accommodation with seating area. This 1-star guest house offers ski storage space and a shared kitchen. The guest house features family rooms. I recently had the pleasure of staying at a delightful holiday home near Kyoto (in a city called Sakamoto), and I couldn't have asked for a more enchanting experience. From the moment I arrived, the owner, Joni, went above and beyond to ensure my stay was not only comfortable but also culturally enriching. One of the standout features of my visit was Joni's thoughtful gesture of picking me up and dropping me off at the train station. This small touch made my arrival and departure seamless and added a personal touch to the overall experience. What truly set this holiday home apart, however, was Joni's willingness to share invaluable insights into Japanese cultural norms. His tips were not only helpful but also enhanced my understanding and appreciation of the local customs. I had my birthday recently, and he even left an origami swan wishing me :D. While the holiday home is a 30-60 minute journey from Kyoto, I found the seclusion to be a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The location provided a perfect balance, allowing for a peaceful retreat while still being within reach of Kyoto's attractions. In fact, the proximity to less crowded temples and a breathtaking bamboo forest just a minute away from the house made it a hidden gem worth exploring. Joni's attentiveness was exceptional. When I encountered Wifi issues on the first night, he promptly had it resolved by the next day, ensuring I stayed connected throughout my stay. My room was well-equipped with a heater and a heated blanket, adding an extra layer of comfort during the chilly evenings. In summary, my stay at this holiday home was nothing short of perfect. Joni's hospitality, coupled with the serene surroundings and thoughtful amenities, made it a memorable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation to anyone seeking a tranquil escape with a touch of cultural richness.
