Located in Nagaoka, 15 km from Hikone Castle, Guesthouse Izame Ann provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. The property is set 6.3 km from Green Park Santo, 7.3 km from Maibara Station and 18 km from Taga-taisha Shrine. Site Of Reversible Destiny Yoro Park is 33 km from the hostel and Yoro Land is 33 km away. Our stay at this cozy and immaculate accommodation was truly exceptional. The place is well-equipped and remarkably quiet, making it perfect for families traveling with children. The host warmly welcomed us and went above and beyond by preparing both breakfast and dinner, which were absolutely delicious. What I appreciated most was the common area, which provided a wonderful space for our family to gather and connect. The host was incredibly helpful throughout our stay, ensuring that we had everything we needed. This has been one of my favorite BnBs in Japan during my 10 years of travel experience. Our family had an excellent time, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable stay.
