We had a wonderful stay! The host was amazing — welcoming and attentive throughout. The house itself was beautiful and full of traditional character, and it had everything we needed. Our room had a lovely view of the garden, which was a real highlight. Highly recommend!

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!

Great house, lot of space, not too far from the station. Taka-san is nice, replies quickly, and helps with everything you need. You can use the bikes for free. Very good for the value.

It’s a mix of the traditions and modern. With a very warm welcome from the host, always going the extra mile for us. And the host could speak both Japanese, English and Chinese. A perfect place for travellers.

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.
