    A lovely, traditional and comfortable home in a quite village. We really enjoyed walking around and exploring the area by car. A very relaxing place. I loved drinking my morning coffee in the little sunroom.

    A whole Japanese house for ourselves with everything you wish! It was lovely and clean! For the check-in we had an appointment with the nice owner. He was there at the agreed time and his explanation in English was clear.

    Good experience in an old Japanese house. Nice little garden, listening to the rain with a cup of coffee. The surrounding is very quiet. We get to cook dinner with meat and vegetables bought in a supermarket, something we always want to do in...

    Best place to stay if you want to live in an old Japanese house but with modern toilet. Had a car and was easy to drive around town and nearby amenities

Thank you for visiting our page. Guesthouse En is located in a small village and it’s really countryside of Japan. We are not such a famous place like big tourist places BUT we have pastoral landscapes, calm and warm atmosphere at the village. It must be totally different to your country. Also you can enjoy cycling around Lake Biwa which is the biggest lake in Japan. Many guests cycle to the lake by free-rental-bicycles. It’s only 1 km away from our guesthouse. Or you can go to the castle town area to see the traditional Japanese buildings by about 20 minute-ride from here. We would like you to enjoy our guesthouse and relax as your home, so we accept one group a day. It’s a private home for you! It would be perfect for a big family, If you’d like to find real Japan, why don’t you come and stay at Guesthouse En?
