The guesthouse is far from the city, but through that I could concentrate on nature and the lake through my travels. The staff were very nice and the guesthouse was filled with ways to learn about the area and its travel opportunities.

This experience was amazing, I stayed 2 months. The guesthouse is just in front of the beach and the lake. During summer the view is amazing with the mountains, the lake, and during nights you can chill with the Milky Way on top of you and thousands of stars because there is no light pollution. You are not far from Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kobe. You will have something to visit every day ! The work is cool, nothing difficult, the staff is amazing, very helpful and flexible if you need a day off, start a little bit earlier etc. I recommend this place and I will come back a few days for sure !

I stayed in the guest house for a month and I absolutely loved it! The work was exactly as listed and I had plenty of time to dj whatever I wanted outside of work hours. The lake is so close and the surrounding areas are great to explore. I highly recommend it!

I've had cool month up there in Otsu. Very nice people all around, cozy place and a lot to do in free time. Akane and the rest off the stuff was always helpful and nice. I hope I can comeback to visit this place in future. All the best for all of you in the guest house!

I loved my time at Lake Biwa Guesthouse!! Akane was very welcoming and all the staff at the hostel was really friendly and social! Usually the work hours weren't too long and the cleaning was really really easy! I had so much fun with the other volunteers and I could definitely recommend!

Dear Akane San, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful time I had at your guesthouse. The work was peaceful and enjoyable, and your space is remarkably clean and welcoming. Everything went as planned, and I am immensely thankful for the gifts I received, especially the beautiful futon set. Your generosity and hospitality made my stay truly memorable. Thank you once again. Best regards, Juliana Ono
