Koke Musu inn, hotel in Otsu

A recently renovated guest house in Otsu, Koke Musu inn offers outdoor fireplace, private parking and sports facilities. It is situated 12 km from Daigo-ji Temple and provides a shared kitchen.

A lot of delightful small decorative figures throughout the place, very glad that the owner is willing to share the collections. Although the owner keeps emphasising that the rooms are small, I'd rather say they have very efficient space management. Safe parking space for bicycles.

Holiday Afternoon, hotel in Otsu

Featuring 2-star accommodation, Holiday Afternoon is located in Otsu, 23 km from Sanzen-in Temple and 30 km from Ruriko-in Temple. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking.

The son and mother running the guesthouse were wonderful. It's a beautiful location, and because it is fairly far from the station, the son picked us up in his van at the station. We did have to call him to get us (which we knew ahead of time), so it's important to have the capability to do so or otherwise arrange it with the guesthouse host. We thoroughly enjoyed the onsen at the hotel with included yukatas and our very spacious room (had a heater/AC as well!). The sheets and yukatas and towels were impeccably clean and pressed. The son and mother had a lovely cafe with free beverages downstairs, and they also had a wonderful breakfast we paid for in the morning. I feel this guesthouse is truly a hidden gem and highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Easily one of the best places I have stayed at in Japan. My husband and I were so charmed during the whole experience.

We loved this traditional style guesthouse with modern facilities. The hosts were wonderful. So friendly, helpful and attentive. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. Close to transport links for all areas of Kyoto. And so peaceful to come back to after a day exploring the city.

    Lovely hosts. Unique and amazing design. Manga dolls, fish tanks, movie regalia it’s like being in a museum. The rooms are small but very innovative. Host cleaned and restocked everyday. Good base to explore Shiga.

    The room with split level was small but cosy and with so many intriguing details at every turn. You can't help but marvel at the owner's design and attention to detail. The host family was lovely and their communal areas equally fascinating.
