The individual rooms meant you get to meet lots of other guests both locally and internationally. The location is on a quiet street, short walk from Samegai JR station (which unfortunately does not have an escalator) The Ryokan has been renovated beautifully, plenty of space to read, chat, eat and relax. The Ryokan has well thought out shared bathrooms, toilet and a small kitchenette with a kettle, small fridge and microwave available for use. The Ryokan is very clean with fresh towels provided everyday. The host Usui san cooks breakfast and dinner daily upon request, but you are free to buy food and eat it at the Ryokan.

An absolutely beautiful property and location. It was so lovely to get out of the touristy areas of Japan. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and gave us great recommendations for the area. We would highly recommend staying here!

More than just a bed, I was able to find friends there and spend moments that I will remember for a long time. This place is full of kindness and I hit the road with a smile. If you are looking for rest, this is the perfect place. In his hostel, Jiro San offers decent places, games rooms, a very well-equipped kitchen, as well as a sauna hand made by the owner. You can even share a meal with your host if you offer ☺️

The location was quiet, in the middle of a residential area so it was very quiet at all times, there was a convenience store about 10mins walk away. The guesthouse was very spacious with a living room, dining room and sitting room on the main floor. There were 2 bathrooms and 2 showers and all very clean!

I reached the property quite late in the night, and the landlord lady is patient and wait for you, tried her best to use translate app to introduce the facilities of the rooms. The room is very big with a kitchen room, really enjoy the time there.

The couple who run the Inn are kind and hospitable. They were helpful in assisting me in all manners. Their charm was accompanied by the unique construction and style that decorate the establishment. Quite simply you must see it to appreciate it.

it was ok for one night. it'd been fine for a couple more nights too. it's self check in and there are instructions on how to open the door but I felt that maybe an initial explanation was needed like where the remote for the ac, the password for the wifi, etc. The host came later though and left quickly. it was generally clean.

Excellent stay at this beautiful guest house during our cycle around Lake Biwa! It's an absolute gem of a place. The property itself is very well maintained, with traditional features throughout (such as the tatami room and the Kotatsu in the living room). The owners were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back! Highly recommended.

A cheaper option to stay away from Kyoto City during peak autumn season if you are driving. Love the bath house and the well-equipped common kitchen. Staff is helpful. The property is clean.

The landlord is very devoted to his job and his guest house. At first look, he seems to be a serious person, but from the photos on the wall, one can see he is a man with stories. And also the landlord's wife is a great cook. The breakfast is just great. We had a very pleasant stay at guest house AN.

The host was nice. Everything was clean. Towels and some amenities were provided. The house is big and there are places to chill. The kitchen is very well equipped if you want to make your own food, just make sure to buy things before you get to the accommodation. There is no convenience stores or supermarkets around.
