Positive: Johnni’s place is easily accessible by train from Kyoto. It offers a quiet location away from the city in a surprisingly beautiful and culturally rich town. The shrine precinct at the base of Mt Hiei is extensive, well maintained and surrounded by lush forests, verdant walking paths and trickling brooks. There is extensive stonework throughout the town. We had our best meal in a traditional Japanese setting at the 300 year old noodle house in Sakamoto. Johnni is a very welcoming and generous host. After being collected from the station, he took us on a tour of Sakamoto before sitting to chat about how to get the most from our stay. We felt immediately at home and comfortable about using the kitchen, dining room etc to prepare and eat our meals.

Summary: We highly recommend spending time at Johnni’s place if you seek a more authentic experience.

Positive: For me personally, as one who has a Masters degree in Peace Education and who is dedicating his life to global peace and sustainable solutions, I was really happy that synchronicity put us in this location, and so close to the Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, the claimed birthplace of Japanese Buddhism, and home to the World Peace Bell. The community is quite quiet, which may be a challenge for those preferring to be close to 'the action' of a location, but ideal for those who are okay having evenings in a quiet location, but still close enough to Kyoto to enjoy some part of the evening nightlife.

Negative: Perhaps the only thing that could be considered a 'challenge' was that there were no decent restaurants in the immediate area of the house. This however, is NOT Jonni's fault.

Summary: Jonni was wonderful to my friend and me! He went above and beyond to assist when needed!

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: I stayed three nights at Jonni's place and enjoyed it very much: the hosting, the accommodation and especially the area, Sakomoto. Sakomoto feels like a cozy village and I spent a whole day exploring the area. It is very peaceful. The evenings I spend in the bar/restaurant Nanami, suggested by Jonni, was the best experience of my Japan trip. Kyoto is only a 15 minutes ride away, Osaka a 45 minutes ride (hourly), the corresponding station about 20 minutes to walk (which I always enjoyed). Anything is available in Sakomoto but partially also some walk away. Jonni is a dignified British gentleman, very nice, very helpful (always offering to give a ride to the station) and I very much enjoyed talking to him and learning about Japan. The accommodation is a private stay but it usually feels close to having the house alone - which makes is absolutely worth the money.

Summary: A special village like stay in Sakomoto, 15/45 train minutes from Kyoto/Osaka
