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. 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!

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
