長浜ゲストハウスミカタ Guest House Mikata

Guesthouse Mikata is a very comfortable place to stay in a nice town which is certainly worth visiting for a few days while travelling around Japan. Having only opened in March 2026, the facilities are new and comfortable. Our host Judo is a very friendly guy with excellent English, he was flexible with our check-in/checkout process and shared a lot of knowledge and recommendations about where to eat and drink in Nagahama. He also runs a free tour of the town which is certainly worth joining. Wholely recommend this guesthouse and also the town of Nagahama which doesn't see many foreign tourists.

The building is a traditional Japanese guesthouse layout meaning dividing walls are quite thin. Best to use earplugs if you are a light sleeper

My stay at Guest House Mikata was a truly wonderful and pleasant experience. Judo is such a thoughtful and kind owner. He always asked if I needed anything and recommended some lovely restaurants and shops around Nagahama. It's such a charming town! I would love to visit again for the Hikiyama Festival and learn more about its rich history. I will definitely stay here if I visit again. I really loved the vibe in every corner of this guest house.

Nothing

Une guest house pleine de charme où tout est réuni pour passer un excellent séjour. Les chambres sont confortables et chacun dispose de son propre espace, avec également une pièce commune très agréable pour manger et discuter avec les autres voyageurs. J’ai particulièrement aimé l’accès au petit ruisseau, un endroit paisible et charmant où il est très agréable de prendre son thé et de discuter. Mais le gros point fort de cette guest house, c’est sans aucun doute Judo, l’hôte, qui fait vraiment tout son possible pour que ses voyageurs se sentent bien et ne manquent de rien. Il nous a notamment conseillé pour la fête d’Obon, que nous avons adorée, ainsi que pour les restaurants. La ville est elle aussi très charmante et mérite vraiment le détour. Nous étions venus notamment pour visiter le château d’Hikone et nous sommes ravis d’avoir choisi de faire une halte chez Judo.

J'ai tout apprécié dans la guest house. Ce qui peut sembler plus compliqué c'est de trouver un restaurant dans la ville :)

Judo, his amazing hospitality and lovely guest house were Prefect for my stay. Excellent location, right in the heart of Nagahama, right next to a small canal. It felt so peaceful and a Prefect spot to relax. Judo's accommodation, and his love for his city was unmatched, he is very passionate about his home and making sure his guests have a great time. I will be back here!

Minor gripe is that the walls between the rooms are paper thin (which was explained upon checking in) which did mean I heard the person in the room over snoring at night.
