Guesthouse Kinari was exceptional and we are so thankful we had the opportunity to stay at this lovely space. It also serves as a center for the community children and also persons with disabilities to gather, and spaces like this are so important for the community as everyone is able to use the space. The room we stayed in was also really comfortable and spacious, with great beds and a big toilet that comes with a bathtub! The entire facility is yours and in the morning, people from the community also gather in the facility and we even got to enjoy the loveliest breakfast of onigiri and miso soup together. The owner also provided a personal guide of places to see in the neighbourhood that was really insightful. I cannot stress how grateful we are to have been able to stay here and we are so thankful to the people who continue to work so hard at Guesthouse Kinari so that everyone can feel right at home at this space. Thank you again!

On arrival we saw the exterior of the building and it wasn’t exactly appealing but once inside it was a little gem, it’s more of a little house with everything that we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable, a nice lounge setting and an easy stroll to the castle.

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.
