農家民泊三左衛門邸｜Notice after reservation.FarmStay INN Sanzaemon-tei – 【公式】日本銘生合同会社（にほんめいせい）

FarmStay INN Sanzaemon-tei

Thank you for making a reservation at our [FarmStay INN Sanzaemon-tei].
Thank you for your hard work in planning your trip and reserving your accommodation.

My name is Fujiwara and I am the host.
I will be happy to take care of you from the time you arrive until you leave. Thank you for your understanding😊

The facility is run mainly by local housewives, and we aim to reach new heights through trial and error every day, and there are still some areas we are unfamiliar with.
If you have any questions in advance or any requests you would like to make on the day, please feel free to let us know.

Although it was a formal greeting and a thank you for making a reservation, I was reminded of the rich natural scenery of Shiga Takashima, the size of Lake Biwa, and the relaxing life and time of old Japan’s countryside, which is different from the city life, and the memories of my childhood. We would be happy if you could use our accommodation as a relaxing accommodation like staying at your grandparents’ house.
You can also see Lake Biwa from the rooms.
Please enjoy your stay in Shiga Takashima, which is full of nature, to the fullest.
