Set within a former residence of local merchant, Inase Otsu Machiya Bed and Breakfast is set in Otsu, 700 metres from Mii-dera Temple.

Each room is fitted with a flat-screen TV. Inase Otsu Machiya Bed and Breakfast features free WiFi .

I loved everything about this stay. The hotel and rooms are beautiful and very traditional. We had the room with the garden view and I highly recommend, I could have sat on that porch for hours looking at the garden. The staff were so friendly and helpful and very patient with my terrible Japanese! The breakfast was delicious and v generous. Good location - easy to find and walking distance from the station. I recommend the local restaurant Kadoman to try Omi beef, the best meal of my life!

Biwako Hanakaido features outdoor and indoor hot-spring baths, 3 dining options and rooms with a balcony and Lake Biwako views. It also has a garden and a sauna, while the lobby offers free WiFi. A free shuttle runs to/from JR Ogoto-Onsen Station, which is a 5-minute ride away.

Food - amazing spread of meals. Staff - attentive and polite. The service exceeds expectations. We were treated like VVIP Location - beautiful landscape and close to convenience shops and Daiso Room - very clean and spacious. The pillows were so comfortable. Our neck pain from the previous hotel's poor bedding went away after our first night stay. They use the maruhachi pipe and feather pillows. The massage service is very reasonably priced and great masseuse. I had sprained ankle for a week and after the massage it almost gone away. Not sure what he did but quite different to remedial massage. Soothing, relaxing, minimal pain with maximal gain. The most relaxing massage I had. Onsen - great. Private onsen available at a cost. Our toddler was a bit upset when we were checking out. The staff gave him a little soft toy. Very nice touch though we don't expect anything from them after the amazing stay . Great souvenir shop featuring local crafts.

With free WiFi, this 3-bedroom holiday home offers a TV, a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and fridge. The accommodation offers an air conditioning, a heating and a private bathroom.

We booked this property with a bit of hesitation as there were very few reviews on booking.com and we didn’t regret it a second! It is in a very peaceful residential area, quiet, restful night’s sleep is guaranteed which was very important to us. The house is warm and cosy as we had a bit of a cold weather it was important. We felt at home and had a great base to explore the city of Kyoto, Otsu and all the surrounding area. There’s everything you would need in a household and more. There’s also a nice garden which we couldn’t use due to the cold weather. The owner is a very sweet attentive lady and a great host who took care of every single need of us, so that we felt like staying in a friend’s house. With or without car this accommodation is a great choice to escape the crowds of Kyoto and yet be in 25 min distance to downtown Kyoto. We stayed there for 10 days and explored the whole area. I cannot recommend Sayo’s place enough! I would love to come again sometime.

guest house AN is a 5-minute walk from Keihan Nakanosho Train Station and a 20-minute walk and train ride from JR Kyoto Station. This Japanese-style house comes with tatami (woven-straw) floors, 2 connecting bedrooms and a kitchen. You can relax at the café located next to the house. Rental bicycles are available.

I liked absolutely everything!!! Hosts are very welcoming, very kind and attentive. You have a whole Japanese style house for yourself. You can rent bicycles for a small fee. Close to the station and in a middle of residential area with beautiful Japanese houses and gardens. I saw some people complained in their comments about long introduction to the rules, but for us it was very nice too. After you learn what and how, you feel more relaxed and can fully enjoy. If I had such a house where many elements are made from wood, had tatami etc- I would also like to explain my guests how to use it. We also had breakfasts that were exquisite for a very fair price. Our hosts made us feel like at home and also made many recommendations what to visit around. I am grateful I could be welcomed in such a way and I am sorry I could not stay longer. This is definitely a place where you can stay for a longer period, visit Kyoto (30 mins by train), cycle around the lake and further, play tennis in a park nearby. All that for very nice price:)

Only a 5-minute drive from JR Ogoto Onsen Station with the complimentary shuttle, hotel Yuzanso features Japanese-style rooms with a private open-air hot spring bath and spectacular views of Biwako Lake. The hotel also offers massage treatments and a sauna. JR Ogoto Onsen Station offers a direct transit in 20 minutes to Kyoto Station.

Meals were served in the restaurant instead of in the room. The meals were delicious and deceptively filling (as in, you wouldn't think you'd get full but you do!). Our room was amazing with a great view. The in-room onsen worked perfectly.
