彦宿Hikojyuku戸建て貸切宿, hotel in Hikone

彦宿Hikojyuku戸建て貸切宿 is located in Hikone. The air-conditioned accommodation is 1.1 km from Hikone Castle, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi.

On arrival we saw the exterior of the building and it wasn’t exactly appealing but once inside it was a little gem, it’s more of a little house with everything that we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable, a nice lounge setting and an easy stroll to the castle.

ゲストハウス メグルヤ 中山道柏原宿, hotel in Maibara

Set in Maibara and only 20 km from Hikone Castle, ゲストハウス メグルヤ 中山道柏原宿 offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The hostel was a very beautiful traditional style Japanese house with a nice backyard so I just loved the overall atmosphere. I really like the very quiet and peaceful neighborhood as well, perfect if you want to stay away from big cities. There's a small train station nearby and surprisingly the train timetable is pretty frequent and you can use your IC cards. Trains go to nearby cities such as Maibara or Ogaki very frequently so it was very convenient. Also, the host was also very nice & friendly and he was always quick to respond my questions.

ゲストハウスすまいるさん, hotel in Iba

ゲストハウスすまいるさん, a property with a garden, is located in Iba, 43 km from Enryaku-ji Temple, 43 km from Sanzen-in Temple, as well as 44 km from Mount Hiei.

Perfect location to visit the countryside of Japan. This is the real Japan with Koi carpers swimming in river-like gutters and friendly helpfull villagers. On top of this, Kyoto is only half an hour away by train. We came for a nice, relaxing place to stay but got a family who was so warm and welcoming. Mizu, the hostess of Smile guesthouse is a very kind and helpful person who speaks good English. She helped and guided us to make our stay even better. The guest house is a traditional Japanese house. Beautiful and full of details. And next to that you can eat fresh strawberries at the Tanaberry farm, which is a 8 minutes walking distance. We can recommend everyone to stay here. As we immediately extended our stay the day we arrived and are planning to definitely stay again the next time we travel to Japan.

    The hotel is an outstanding experience as a place to stay. Excellent facilities - including the open-air bath in our room, superb food, and wonderfully polite and helpful staff. I also enjoyed the welcome cake and glass of wine on the 10th floor when we arrived. You will pay for the experience as the hotel is not cheap, but it is well worth it for the experience.

    Arrived way too early for the check-in in the rain and got my room prepared in 10-15 minutes. The host and his wife and all the staff were super nice and helpful.

    Clean and comfortable bed. The host was nice, I arrived late after standard check-in time but he waited for me. He also lent me his bicycle to sightsee the whole day around.

    The place is very conveniently located right next to the castle and the shopping street. The kitchen is well equipped (there were even paper towels and Saran wrap, which most hosts forget about), and there is nice big western-style dining table. The tatami rooms have bed mattresses, so they are softer than normal futons. The bathroom was clean and modern, and has a nice washing machine (with a second one and a drier outside!).

    The host was very friendly, provided lots of hot water for the room and gave me a lift to the station on the last day. The room was sufficient and I loved the hot stone bath. The location is a short walk to Hikone Castle in a quiet street, there are plenty of shops, restaurants, supermarket and a convenient store near by.

    I had a wonderful stay. The house was larger than expected, and had several rooms. The neighborhood is cozy and quiet, and I enjoyed walking around. The host was very friendly and accomodating. I'll 100% stay again if I'm in the area.
