The owner, Fujiwara, left us wanting for more. He picked us up from the station and gave us a tour of the city, as well as bringing us to a supermarket to get some food for dinner and breakfast the next day. He was incredibly sweet and helpful. The house was beautiful and the city was quiet. We could relax completely. We have nothing else to say but thanks, and we will come back!

The accommodation is hosted by the loveliest couple, with very thoughtful touches. It definitely feels like visiting your grandparents. The place is spacious for a solo traveller.

We loved our stay. The couple are super nice and friendly. They did their best to understand us even before we arrived through booking.

Peaceful farm house with traditional Japanese bedding (surprisingly comfy). Run by a lovely older couple and their son who really make you feel welcomed.

Hospitality and coziness

I'm glad I stayed here for one night because it was just a delightful experience. The hosts are very welcoming, kind, and well-prepared to communicate with you with a translator app. I was a solo traveler so it made a huge difference that I could talk to these lovely hosts. They are keen to share about the local area, so if you need some tips on what to do don't hesitate to ask them. I would definitely suggest this rural experience to anyone visiting Japan. I hope I can return here in the future and visit the Fujiwaras

I reached the property quite late in the night, and the landlord lady is patient and wait for you, tried her best to use translate app to introduce the facilities of the rooms. The room is very big with a kitchen room, really enjoy the time there.

Nothing at all, this was a 10/10 place and the most memorable part of our trip to Japan!

Excellent stay at this beautiful guest house during our cycle around Lake Biwa! It's an absolute gem of a place. The property itself is very well maintained, with traditional features throughout (such as the tatami room and the Kotatsu in the living room). The owners were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back! Highly recommended.

Instructions by the host were precise and clear before the checkin. The rooms were sparkling clean, hosts were super friendly and helpful! Location is great to multiple sights in the neighborhood. (Metasequoia trees, cherry blossom, etc. ) Everything is as described in the property descruption. Even better than the pictures. Hosts do not speak english, however they are well prepared with a translator app.

N/A - it was an extremely comfortable stay.

It really did feel like staying at my grandparents house in Japan. The staff were so friendly, kind and intentional and the food prepared for us in the morning was phenomenal.

We stayed at the Farm Inn Sanzaemon for a single night as a break from the rush from the big cities. And what a break it was! The family who runs the inn showed almost endless hospitality, and they were so kind and wholesome. A lovely couple indeed! The Inn itself is a big traditional Japanese house with tatami mats and a wooden interior, which just looks amazing. The room we slept in had a view of the sun rising in the morning and a serene view over the fields of rice and vegetables growing in the countryside. We were so happy choosing to stay at this Farm Inn. It has been nothing short of an incredible experience, staying there and meeting this lovely family.

It was the best place to stay in Shiga, Takashima and was the highlight of our trip in Japan. We stayed for two nights. The kindness of Fujiwara-san has constantly surprised me. He is very welcoming, attentive and helpful throughout our stay. We even received a beautiful thank you note from the host! It was a nice touch. The place is very clean and the scenery is gorgeous. It was a memorable experience for us. Will definitely come again ❤️
