The Koke Musu Inn was by far my favorite place to stay during a two week trip to Japan. The house is decorated in a way that was deeply creative and quirky. The room was extremely cozy and well equipped. Best of all, our host was so kind and accommodating. I will be staying here the next time I’m anywhere near Kyoto! I wish I was here for the entire trip.

Gorgeous old repurposed building, this was one of our favourite places we stayed thanks to the delightful staff and beautiful ambiance. Worth a night out of Kyoto to check this quaint area out. So peaceful and relaxing. And the breakfast was lovely. I’d recommend the old style rooms with the shared bathroom over the modern ones with bathroom. They just felt like an extension of our room really. Still have your own toilet and basin in the rooms. Thank you for a lovely stay!

A beautiful location for a simply gorgeous hotel. The room was lovely with a fantastic view of the lake, the breakfasts were well rounded choices and delicious, and most of all the staff were always helpful. I highly recommend staying here if you want to explore around Kyoto and Lake Biwa, and then have a great place to relax after a busy day, or to take a break and some time to simply relax

The location is good, next to the lake. We drove there and the parking was spacious. The public bath area was good and very clean, but there were many people after dinner. The hotel provides shuttle bus to the train station, although we didn't use it. There was a mistake during the parking that even though the ticket was scanned at the front desk, the machine charged us for the parking. The reception was really helpful and reimburse the expense by cash right away. Thank you very much.

Very nice hot bath on the balcony as well as very new sauna in the public bath. A really good location for relaxing and visiting Biwako. The hotel is very children friendly which we appreciated with our 1-year old daughter.

A lovely stay at a temple lodging. The rooms may feel a bit dated, but everything is clean, the area is beautiful and quiet, there’s a public bath available on site, a good value for money.

View ! View ! View! It is important that I need to say three times. High floor and the room view for Biwa Ko. The location is almost perfect that you can find convenience store or purchase some cookie in the lobby. You can see the sunrise and sunset for Biwa Ko .

The view and the location are beautifull, To be able to go around you need a car, because in the area of the hotel there is not much to do. We traveled around lake Biwa, which is beautifull.
