Guest Houses in Shiga Prefecture

This is a 10 out of 10. The location at the edge of the forest is spectacular. The service is impeccable. We are vegan and they accommodated us with absolutely delicious meals. It is located just on the outskirts of the Nara Deer Park where you are surrounded by a lovely forest ambience and yet you are just a short hike from the Park and its bustling surrounds. The trail just outside the Ryoken takes you up the mountain.It is simply an awesome place!

Amazing place on a quiet, scenic neighborhood. Sights abound, and a peaceful river running right by it. A little slice of heaven in Nagahama.

We had a great stay at Luck You. The staff was extremely helpful and nice, always offering tea and welcoming with a huge smile. The design is lovely and the "breakfast" area is pleasant and peaceful.

Clean room,

The place was tasteful and had everything I needed. In particular there was a microwave oven in the room which I really appreciated. The hosts were super-nice. One the best places I have stayed in Japan over the past 30 years

I loved how authentic the experience felt and looked, curated by such amazing and sweet souls.

The room was beautiful, clean and staff were efficient and gracious.

An unforgettable traditional ryokan experience! Amazing location, extremely quiet, ultra relaxing, environment to completely unwind. The staff is incredible, the food is delectable, and the tea ceremony (do not skip) is a magical and unforgettable experience. You’re sleeping on a futon on tatami floors in a 157 year old building in historic Kyoto, just as they’ve done for 1,200 years. A wonderful way to spend a night or two during your visit!

This ryokan had just opened when we were lucky enough to stay here. The rooms were bright, and beautifully appointed, with touches of Kyoto--a view of the garden, traditionally shaped lamp and personal bath. But the amenities were modern and thoughtful --powerful hairdryer, coffee in room and thick futon mattresses. If you are accustomed to ryokan, or looking for the ryokan experience, you can have it here, while still taking advantage of modern luxuries like a shower head with a massage...

This small hotel is really cute. The rooms are clean, equipped and super nice! The staff was really helpful and polite. They have breakfast and they have 2 light meals during the day which were good and perfect for what they are. Really happy with the property and the experience. I loved the bathtub with view on the interior garden.

Charming place, but hit my head on the 175cm door entrance many times 😆

This was a unique property to stay at for our Japan trip. The property was beautiful and was definitely an experience I recommend. Staff was so helpful when first arriving. They try their best to explain things, especially with a language barrier for myself. The hospitality was exceptional. Would recommend anyone to stay here. A little far of a walk from the main station with luggage so maybe a take a taxi. And have them take you to the check-in area instead of the property itself.

お家に帰る見たい、いい時間過ごせました。 また来ます！

I first I was nervous to go to a place where I didn't even have anyone who could tell me anything about it. Once I got there and the person doing the check in was Super friendly, patient, and helpful even with the things he didn't know cause he is from Osaka, as he mentioned when I asked about places in the area. Still he made efforts to make me feel welcome and comfortable. I definitely highly recommend this place. It's located in a good area where you can start your journey no matter where you...

Excellent location under a 10 minute walk to Shijo station and Nishiki market is steps out your front door. Lots of restaurants and plenty of room for a family of four. The check-in process is the only odd part but it’s not that difficult to navigate if you arrive at Kyoto Station and it’s easy to catch the subway to Shijo station and walk to the property. Excellent property. We would stay there again. FYI…. The first floor rooms have opaque windows so you have no view. It wasn’t a deal killer...
