Guest Houses in Shiga Prefecture

"We had an amazing experience here. Highly recommend!! Staff was so nice and the breakfast experience was so special. The soaking tub was an extra bonus. Definitely stay here. "

"Hospitality was amazing, we were personally welcomed by Mr.Takase and showed us all the things we need to know to have a comfortable stay. This is a traditional house with tatami mats so being very gentle with everything was important, rolling luggages is not allowed on the mats. We booked the traditional triple room was perfect for 2 people, to move around comfortably. There isn’t someone at the front desk 24/7 but through whats app, Hazuki Kyoto will help you. In their lobby, they have self...

"Awesome experience for my first trip to Japan. Wish I booked another night or two"

"Excellent area to stay in and above all, the service was absolutely exceptional. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming from the very beginning and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay went as smoothly as possible. They even provided us with snacks and treats during every day of our stay. We felt at home throughout the entire stay and would definitely plan to stay here again along with recommending it to friends and family whom intend to visit Kyoto. "

"Amazing hospitality and attention to detail on all fronts. Catered a spectacular vegetarian breakfast feast. "

"The stuff here are incredible. Amazing people and the room was just as amazing. Bed were comfortable, the private bath was such an incredible experience after a week of exploring Japan. I highly recommend this place to anyone. The breakfast and dinner they served was such a great experience and very tasty. "

"A unique, tranquil small hotel, that offers total commitment to anyone staying here. Food is exceptional and lots of it. Set within walking distance of several major temples and sites, and easy walking distance to several popular shopping areas, It is even very easy to visit the popular Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) no 12 bus takes you directly there.Not the cheapest, but in my opinion worth every penny. I for one have never been looked after so well and quite emotional about leaving such a...

"Will use it again"

"Washroom and bathroom are shared. Good Japanese house experience. Staff is very wonderful and cares for us."

"Fantastic hotel located in a quiet neighborhood. Close to bus stops that make traveling to central Kyoto easy. Staff was accommodating and helpful. Rooms were tidy and comfortable."

"We have stayed at Koiya (which means small Koifish) for 6 days and couldn't have made a better choice. It is not only a very beautiful traditional Machiya (japanese style wooden house) but also offered a very friendly experience all around. The staff which is there the majority of the day is always very helpful and have given us plenty of tips for our Kyoto itenary. It also wasn't an issue to keep our luggage there for an additional 3 days as we were traveling around. The kitchen has all things...

"Great stay! Highly recommend!"

"Wonderful and traditional experience. "

"Nice and comfortable place to stay."

"The owners are the sweetest. The hostel owner would give me snacks whenever I was working the common area, called taxis for me, and even directed me to a local festival happening in the area. The staff can speak english very well, and there was also many forgeiners in the guesthouse which was very reassuring. The room was very cozy, and it was fun to stay in a traditional style japanese room. I liked the futon, but others who do not fancy firmer beds may be a little uncomfortable. Overall, an...

"Quaint, traditional guest house with a very kind host. Room was clean and futon mats were clean and comfortable. Our room had interior facing windows to a lovely garden to let the fresh air in. Made for a great authentic experience in Kyoto. Make sure you arrive within the check in hours; it is a family run establishment so they don’t have someone up 24/7."

"What an amazing place to stay in Nara.. if you dont mind the walk is a beautiful area so no need to take buses to the hostel. Lovely receptionist as well."

"Very cozy. Very clean. Must try the dinner prepared by the owner's daughter. "

"The staff were very friendly and the room had a nice garden view. The location was nice, about a 10 minute walk from Kyoto station, making it easy to get to all sides of town and see the major sights."

"Friendliest people ever! Our stay was special from the moment we walked in, until the very last part when we left. It was conveniently located where everything was a perfect walking distance. I was sad to leave, but hope to come back many more times ❤️"
