Holiday rentals with breakfast in Lake Biwa

We had a wonderful stay at Sasae's farmstay! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Sasae, his wife, and their son. They gave us a lovely tour of the farm and their patisserie, and every morning our son was thrilled to feed the animals and collect freshly laid eggs for breakfast. Although they spoke limited English, we had no trouble communicating thanks to Google Translate, and still managed to have some great conversations. The hospitality was truly heartfelt. This is a perfect getaway for families with kids looking for a short escape from the city. We only stayed for two nights, but wish we had more time. We would’ve loved to join the farm BBQ they offered! Their daily homecooked breakfasts were a highlight. Cooking rice over a wood stove was such a unique experience, and their desserts from the patisserie were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Megumi made us feel right at home! she was super friendly and supportive of everything we wanted, and she even went all out to celebrate our engagement with her family! During the trip, she brought us around and helped us have an absolute blast! The cooking lesson was also superb; the food, the lesson, and the memories <3 Megumi would also take our preferences into account and prepare the visit to suit us! She's super attentive and immensely helpful :) Thank you for the stay, Megumi! We really enjoyed ourselves. This stay is easily the highlight of our trip <3

Nicest lady ever felt right at home thank you so much

We are very interested in Japanese culture and history, so we chose this 100-year-old Japanese traditional house!We were very satisfied, although English communication was not very fluent, but the enthusiasm and rigorousness of the homeowner canceled the barrier of language! While the room retains the traditional Japanese house, the convenience of modern facilities is not inferior, even if we bring a 4-year-old baby living here, the living experience and its excellent, I recommend all friends who are interested in Japanese traditional culture to come and experience! Ps: A hearty breakfast, excellent service, one can't forget!Will be coming again next year!The homeowner is taking his own house seriously and the love of the house is very touching!

The room we stayed in was upstairs, with a total of three windows, very spacious and bright, and the view from each window was different, but all were beautiful.It's quiet at night, and at 3 or 4 in the morning, the insects and birds start to sing, just like when I was a kid at home.The host will pick you up and drop you off at the subway station or nearby attractions, like the Golden Pavilion Temple.Breakfast was especially delicious. I had insomnia the first night, so I didn't let the host prepare my portion to sleep a little longer. I only ate on the day of check-out, which was a pity!Next time I have a chance to go to Kyoto, I will want to stay again.

Chihiro さんis very inviting and really adorable. She was really understanding and kind. She gave us tips. We felt at home. Very pleasant memory 🌸

Absolutely gorgeous place with very welcoming hosts. We had a great time and we were served delicious dinner and breakfast after we took a bike ride around the neighborhood to see the gorgeous local temples and vistas

Like many have mentioned, this was one of the best AirBnB stays I’ve ever had! Yoko’s place is an expression of her generosity — and her appreciation of beauty. We felt nourished physically and emotionally, from food provided for guests, the cleanliness and comfort, and Yoko’s warmth and responsiveness. The bicycles Yoko provides are such a great way to get around and experience Kyoto neighborhoods. I was traveling with my 16-year old nephew and he loved being able to bike off on his own and explore. Meeting Yoko’s father and getting a window into his mastery of bookbinding was also a wonderful experience. So many gems about our stay. Can’t wait to come back to Kyoto and spend more time at Yoko’s place!

We stayed at four airBnb‘s in Japan and all have their good points, but this was by far the best. Located in a quiet suburb so not walking distance to the main sites of Kyoto, but with some lovely sites that we would not have seen otherwise Close by. It was as simple Uber ride or train ride to get into Kyoto for main sightseeing and it was lovely to come home to a quiet un bustling local with a wide choice of excellent restaurants to choose among. The apartment itself is spacious, by far the most spacious we stayed in And it’s part of a an apartment complex which has a small gym. Nori and Fumi even served us breakfast all three days we were there in another upstairs breakfast room. To top it off, they picked this up and dropped us off at this train station three days later. All in all it was a really welcoming and comfortable place to stay, well worth the price we paid

The host was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was always friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect for me since I was attending a conference at the international conference centre (20 minute walk). The facilities were excellent for the price.

This is a typical Japanese house located in a quiet area, it’s super clean and provides everything you need for free, which you need to pay for some of them in other hostels. The receptionist is very helpful and the breakfast sandwiches is delicious too.

First time traveling to Japan with friends, this time the accommodation experience was very comfortable, the room was clean and tidy, it met our expectations of a Japanese homestay, there were also convenience stores and public bus stops nearby, life and transportation were very convenient, the host was also very enthusiastic, there was also a delicious breakfast every morning, if I come to Kyoto next time, I will definitely choose this place again without hesitation.

Had a wonderful stay in this traditional Japanese room. The host was very friendly and accomodating. He provided us delicious breakfast every morning and gave us good tour spot recommendations. We felt comfortable and welcomed here. Would definitely come again on our next Kyoto trip.

Best Airbnb! we stayed at their 200 yeas old farmhouse with wonderful rooms, a terrace and surroundings. Very cozy big house. We have had a BBQ dinner together with the hosts and they also served us breakfast. it was super great to stay there.

Chieri was welcoming and the perfect host. Together with her mother Kauri-san and beautiful WabiSuke, they made us feel at home and gave us a little experience of living within a Japanese Community which is what we were seeking. From inviting us to a local Sushi restaurant to allowing us to share her Tea Ceremony class, Chieri has made our short stay truly memorable.

I enjoyed my stay here. Friendly staff, very clean room, convenient to bus and subway stops. Also a short walk to the busy shopping street. Breakfast there was a bonus. Very delicious!

the house is beautiful, especially the family room is very worthwhile. the bathroom is common but this never gave problems. the breakfast was really exquisite, the staff one by one very sympathetic. ok would very much like to go back.

John is one of the best host I’ve ever met at Airbnb. He is very friendly, outgoing and enthusiastic. He and his wife are very nice. I also love his dogs. They are very cute.
