Located in Nagaoka, 15 km from Hikone Castle, Guesthouse Izame Ann provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. The property is set 6.3 km from Green Park Santo, 7.3 km from Maibara Station and 18 km from Taga-taisha Shrine. Site Of Reversible Destiny Yoro Park is 33 km from the hostel and Yoro Land is 33 km away. The location was perfect for us as we visited the Shaun the Sheep farm before check-in—it made the journey super convenient. The guesthouse itself was a beautiful blend of traditional Japanese charm and modern touches. We especially loved the dinner—it honestly felt like an omakase experience! Every single dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The peaceful riverside setting and cozy interior made it feel like a hidden gem.

Featuring garden views, GuestHouse去-来-現Ko-Rai-Gen provides accommodation with free bikes and a terrace, around 37 km from Hikone Castle. Among the facilities at this property are free shuttle service and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Parking on-site is available and the guest house also offers a shuttle service for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. Great experience staying in a quiet and friendly community. It was everything we hoped for and more. We got up at six to ring the bell, and it was really special. After that, Asami's husband told us that we were welcome to join the local residents in their morning exercise, and we did. It was such a nice surprise! We enjoyed the great sense of community here. Later during the temple experience, we learned a lot about the local temple culture. I would highly recommend their guesthouse to anyone interested in having an in-depth understanding of local Japanese communities.

Set in Murai and only 31 km from Sanzen-in Temple, 棚田ハウス offers accommodation with inner courtyard views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property features quiet street views. The property is non-smoking and is situated 38 km from Ruriko-in Temple.

Guests at the guest house can enjoy an American or an Asian breakfast. Masako San was a fantastic host and the house and rice farm was like taking a step back in time. The surrounding was quite peaceful and the food that was provided was excellent. Masako San was so kind to drive us to and from the train station and the train ride from Kyoto was convenient. It is wonderful to get some good county air and get some great sleep
