“Clean, fully furnished, warm host and an amazing experience!”

We stayed in the annex building that was very spacious, clean and fully furnished, even with a power strip to charge the electronics! The host lady was very warm and welcoming; it was an amazing experience!

“Country side homestay that is both comfortable and good value”

The host family is very kind and we felt very welcomed. It is like staying at a relative's/ friend's house in the country side and it was a wonderful experience. I'd high recommend to rent car to get around Lake Biwako as public transport is limited. Parking is right outside the house which made it easy to load/ unload luggages

“Great hospitality”

Able to see beautiful sun rise. All amenities available & well equipped kitchen wares.

Everything was just great! The host was so kind and helpful. I wish we could stay longer.

“Relaxing and comfortable stay”

Homely, cosy and has everything u need. Feels like visiting your grandparents house

“Excellent farm stay”

Beautiful farm house, large, clean, full kitchen, laundry,the host had a steaming bath ready on arrival with lovely hot tea! Also a free gift from their garden! Superb hosts and a lovely house, also great value!

“Wonderful big house in a very lovely landscape”

・Even though I was traveling by train, the family welcomed me warmly. ・There was a landscape rich in nature that was different from Kyoto and Osaka. I liked the ricefields, the Biwa-Sea, the Mountains and the special spezies of the Mammut trees. ・The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. It is a big house very nice equipped, there is a big kitchen with all you need. There are nice flowers and the linen of the beds is so soft. I felt like at home. And I enjoyed the bath. I recommand very much to stay in this wonderful house with this wonderful family. I would really like to come back one day.

Super friendly host and took care of us very well.

“True Japanese stay with Best Hospitality by Fujiwara san & Best location in Biwako!”

The homely hospitality by the sincere owner & his mother truly touch our heart! the house is big enough for us & complete with all the ameneties needed. Aunty served us rice balls every morning using the rice they grown themselves & it's yummms! my kids love the oldschool game set prepared for us. Fujiwara san is truly a person who serves wholeheartedly with personal touch. He is thoughtful & love our kids by preparing all the goodies & snacks at times. we love the hanabi(fireworks) prepared & had a good time! i've been visiting Japan more than 15times in 10yrs, but this is the place that i miss most with their homely hospitality & it's so healing. i got teary eyed when i visited the small shrine (the shrine in the Pokemon game) behind the owner's house once i checked out because i felt so blessed to meet with this family. A must stay if u wanna TRUE Japanese touch stay. We love the burger shop & local Japanese eatery recommended by Fujiwara san. it's very easy to drive around Lake Biwa, we love the ski resort recommended by Fujuwara san so much! it's fun & pretty with colorful flowers & cooling up there in Summer! U can even have a day trip from here to places in Northern Kyoto prefecture such as Ine, Amanohashidate, Miyama etc. You wil never regret staying here! I'll definitely stay here again if i'm visiting Kyoto in future! i cant say enough of the good thing about this stay, u must stay to believe me... Arigato Fujiwara san.

“Real Japanese feel”

The house is clean and very Japanese traditional with lots of details, beautiful picture of doors, good handicrafts on partition ceiling, warm and matching green color, comfortable beddings. Though the house is old age but the toilet and bathroom facilities are very new and good qualities. A very nice stay, feeling very different from staying in an commercial hotel . The owner's family is very hospitable.

“Awesome!”

I had a very relaxing and quiet time in an authentic Japanese house in the countryside. After returning from Biwaichi Cycling, we took a nap on the tatami mats and enjoyed BBQ in the garden for dinner. At night it was a pleasure to see fireflies in the brook just nearby. It looks like it can accommodate a few more people. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.
