Cottage in 高島市

Haruya Guesthouse

Our guesthouse is in a beautiful mountain village, near to it are pristine forests with beech trees and an ancient mountain path that was used to carry sea products from Japan sea to Kyoto in old days. In front of the guesthouse runs a stream that is a source of Lake Biwa and its water is crystal clear ; in early summer nights many fireflies fly over the stream. In winter, we have a lot of snow ; sometimes it reaches 2 meters from the ground! On clear nights you can enjoy the sky full of stars.

和洋折衷复古house～公交、地铁、JR駅徒歩2-6分～世界遺産二条城旁Nijo castle

“京宿 U-house”是由73年前的老房子改造而成。在保持原有建筑的基础上，既有日式典型京町屋的设计，又有现代西式风格。虽谈不上豪华，但每一样摆设都别具心意。与其说是民宿，不如说是您在京都拥有的第二个家。日西结合的装修风格，更能让您深度体验现代日本人的生活方式。 “U-house” was transformed from an old building 73 years ago. Although it is not luxurious ，everying is unique. I would say “U-house” is your small villa in kyoto rather than a homestay. The combination of Japanese and Western styles will give you a deeper experience of the modern Japanese lifestyle.

田園風景 + スケート + 喫茶　然 sikari

竹生島や伊吹山や箱館山を望む 田園風景のこの地で 過剰なモノや情報から離れた 密とは無縁の穏やかな時間を過ごしていただきたいと思いました 聞こえてくるのはカエルや鳥のさえずり 冬は一面の銀世界 夜は周辺の灯りも少なく、 月や星空が綺麗です 創作活動や発想するのにも最適な環境です 晴れた日には庭でスケートボード 穏やかな気持ちで珈琲を煎れる時間は かけがえのないものです 近隣のびわ湖は湧き水のおかげで 透明度も高く夏は泳げます 美味しい水のある所には美味しいお酒があり、 オススメの地酒を取り揃えております。 冬は箱館山スキー場が近く、 １年を通じて自然や四季を身近に感じられます メタセコイヤ並木や 道の駅あどがわも車で15分 京都から小一時間の時間が止まったような昔ながらの田園風景で ごゆっくりお過ごしください この風土を感じていただくために 2泊以上されることををお勧めいたします
