Jonni is obviously the best host we have had in Japan over one month. The house is beautifully designed and the coffee is amazing. Don’t scare the locals!

Jonni is a fantastic host and made me feel the most at home that I’ve felt while in Japan. Great house, clean, very friendly and kind! Also close to the train station to get into Kyoto/Osaka easily while still being right on Lake Biwa. Can’t recommend any higher!

I stayed here for one night on a bicycle trip. The husband, Joni, is British. I arrived after 8pm, but I was welcomed very kindly and kindly. A fun person who talks in Japanese with a lot of humor. There were kimono decorations and a koto in the room, so I was happy to see that they loved Japanese culture. It was a nice and clean house. I was told that I was free to leave the next morning, so I ended up leaving without even greeting Joni, but I was warmed by the thoughtfulness of the staff, who prepared coffee and chilled green tea for me. Thank you for your help, Johnny.

First, don't worry about English. Jonni speaks a wonderful English ! (Probably due to the fact that he is a foreigner raised in England 😜). In this guest house, you will have a feeling of " home sweet home". Second, make no mistakes, if the outside of the house looks like a normal house in Sakamoto (a place with many temples around to visit and traditional japanese specialties, Jonni has 2 e-bikes to rent) the inside of the house is super high-tech with amazing innovative ways to fight against covid-19 (you'll be surprised and fully reassured with the impeccable professionalism of your host). Also, WiFi, specific plugs with USB port, big TV in the living room with possible access to netflix, amazon prime... comfortable sofas, refined decoration, all-equipped kitchen, washing machines, dryers... Finally, If you need a quick ride (and what a ride ! Surprise again ! 😉) to the closest station or supermarket, you may ask Jonni for some arrangements in advance.

We had a wonderful time with Jonni. The house is modern, very clean, comfy and offers everything I need as a traveler. He always picked us up from the train station and the bicycles allowed us to explore the surroundings. Jonni was always helpful and gave valuable tips for our trip. The best accommodation I have had in Japan so far.

Jonni is an excellent host. Helpful, polite and very pleasant. It was my first time visiting Japan and he gave us very good recommendations. The guest house is clean, comfortable and subtly decorated in Japanese style. I felt at home!
