Situated in Takashima and only 50 km from Sanzen-in Temple, FarmStayINN 母屋 Sanzaemon-tei GuestHouse Second floor Shiga-Takasima Traditional Japanese architecture house Limited to one group per day features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property has lake and garden views, and is 27 km from Omimaiko Beach. The property is non-smoking and is located 30 km from Kehi Jingu Shrine. 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
