Hiei Blue Roof - Vacation STAY 13887

Otsu

Set in Otsu, 8.7 km from Eikan-do Zenrin-ji Temple and 9.3 km from Shugakuin Imperial Villa, Hiei Blue Roof - Vacation STAY 13887 offers air conditioning. With free private parking, the property is 7.7 km from Mount Hiei and 8 km from Enryaku-ji Temple. The property is non-smoking and is situated 10 km from Heian Shrine. 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.

Fujiwara san is truly a person who serves wholeheartedly with personal touch. He is thoughtful & love our kids by preparing all the goodies & snacks at times. we love the hanabi(fireworks) prepared & had a good time! i've been visiting Japan more than 15times in 10yrs, but this is the place that i miss most with their homely hospitality & it's so healing. i got teary eyed when i visited the small shrine (the shrine in the Pokemon game) behind the owner's house once i checked out because i felt so blessed to meet with this family. A must stay if u wanna TRUE Japanese touch stay. We love the burger shop & local Japanese eatery recommended by Fujiwara san. it's very easy to drive around Lake Biwa, we love the ski resort recommended by Fujuwara san so much! it's fun & pretty with colorful flowers & cooling up there in Summer!
