The body was sweet and helpful, he came to pick us up from the station and took us back the next morning, the house was beautiful and special. In the evening we took the bycicles to ride around town. The old town is sweet. I wish we'd spent there more time than we did

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.

The property has lake and garden views, and is 27 km from Omimaiko Beach. The property is non-smoking and is located 30 km from Kehi Jingu Shrine. I'm glad I stayed here for one night because it was just a delightful experience. The hosts are very welcoming, kind, and well-prepared to communicate with you with a translator app. I was a solo traveler so it made a huge difference that I could talk to these lovely hosts. They are keen to share about the local area, so if you need some tips on what to do don't hesitate to ask them. I would definitely suggest this rural experience to anyone visiting Japan. I hope I can return here in the future and visit the Fujiwaras
