It is located in Samegai, which is a very small town, with no noise and very calm. Quite easy to reach Kyoto from here. Great place!

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. Great experience staying in a quiet and friendly community. It was everything we hoped for and more. We got up at six to ring the bell, and it was really special. After that, Asami's husband told us that we were welcome to join the local residents in their morning exercise, and we did. It was such a nice surprise! We enjoyed the great sense of community here. Later during the temple experience, we learned a lot about the local temple culture. I would highly recommend their guesthouse to anyone interested in having an in-depth understanding of local Japanese communities.

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

With free WiFi, this guest house provides a TV, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and toaster. Towels and bed linen are provided in the guest house. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. It’s a traditional Japanese cabin in the mountains. The shoji screens and the zen garden made it a really relaxing and cozy visit. One of my favorite accommodations through my journey in Japan. They have WiFi, and a modern toilet. The kitchen is a bit old and not up to modern standards but it works just fine. If you want a place away from the bustling cities, and really want to relax and also get a feel for an authentic Japanese cabin I can highly recommend it. Word of advice is to get food before you arrive as it is far from any stores, but I was informed of this before arrival so I had time to plan. The hostess was super friendly and very helpful It’s an old cabin and it shows, don’t expect a newly renovated house, but it gave it an authentic feeling. There’s also no AC, but with it being in the mountains and the shoji screens it didn’t get too hot at night. Also the insects make a lot of noise Wish I stayed more than one night
