Guest House Usagi to Kame

We stayed for two nights, using this dog-first Accommodation as our base for exploring Shiga and Hyogo. The Room had a wonderful atmosphere, and even with five adults it didn’t feel cramped—we were able to relax comfortably. Having a convenience store right in front is very handy, but since the street out front has quite a bit of traffic, light sleepers may notice the noise. The bedroom was on the second floor, and the stairs were steeper than expected. With a small dog you can probably carry them up, but if you’re bringing a medium-sized or larger dog that sleeps with you upstairs, it might be a bit challenging. Our dog was happy relaxing downstairs, so it wasn’t an issue for us. We also wanted to visit “Juunintoiro” with our dog, but we ended up getting back late from watching the Inter-High games and couldn’t make it—such a shame. Next time we’d love to come in a cooler season, enjoy Omihachiman at a leisurely pace, and stop by Juunintoiro during our walk!

I stayed with my dog.Because the Accommodation faces the road, I could hear traffic noise, but earplugs were provided so it didn’t affect my sleep. The futon was fluffy and very comfortable.There was an outdoor bathtub, and it was spacious and satisfying.The stairs to the second floor were steep, and since the Japanese-style room was separated by a roll-up curtain, I was worried my dog might fall, so I brought the futon downstairs to sleep.I understand it may be difficult to improve the stairs, but I would appreciate a more secure partition at the entrance.It was clean and the futon was very comfortable, so I’d like to stay again when sightseeing in Shiga.
