Holiday rentals near Lake Biwa

This was our second time staying at this lovely property and weren’t disappointed. We had everything we needed for a super comfortable stay.

Authentic accommodation. The host and the owner were wonderful. We dealt with Satoru who was amazing. Speaks fluent English and very knowledgeable of the area. His recommendations were great especially for food. Will happily stay there again.

Loved it

We were greeted at the door by Yoshiko. Lovely to meet with her again. She explained changes that had happened since Covid. The machiya is a piece of history and is so peaceful. The bath is amazing with a feature that will fill then notify you that it is ready. The garden off the bedroom is a calming place to enjoy. This is such a well situated place to stay. We would love to return.

Loved the beautifully restored home. Mark was a great host. Good location close to train and just a 15 to 20 minute stroll from Gion. Great gin bar around corner too !!

We are family of 5 adults from Australia and UK and totally enjoyed our stay. Able to check in early and handled smoothly by office staffs. Akiko was away but her assistant did a good job. Helped us to book taxi and answered all our requests. Place is extremely clean (cleaner than my home) and well equipped. Good facilities for cooking and laundry. Of course, the decor is as good as advertised. Central enough to walk to Gion area and more. Staff was very quick to come and reset the oven when we found it didn't turn on. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Highly recommended. Terry
