First of all, you must be charmed by the decoration and personality on display at Koke-Musu-inn. The place is alive with character. Then the staff welcomes you with their own charm and the package is complete. I found the care taken to provide a comfortable stay very impressive. The rooms were clean and well-maintained throughout my stay, and the location was great! I was glad to have found an easily accessible stopping point outside of Kyoto city. Much easier to decompress at night. I look forward to my next trip to Japan and hope I’ll get to stay there again.

Lovely quirky place, spotlessly clean, very well thought out accommodation with everything needed. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely food. Pool table an extra bonus.

Great location, just opposite the lake. Quiet and comfy. Eclectic decor which I loved, a tremendous amount of thought gone into this place, totally unique. Owners very accommodating and helpful. I prefer to stay in family owned enterprises and this definitely exceeded my expectations. Compact but beautifully executed
