Guesthouse En

For the price, you get the entire place for your travel group (which is quite big). There are also bicycles available that can be used (really enjoyed biking around near the rice patties)

The location is far from the Omi-Hachiman town center (and in extension the station as well). Though there is a direct bus connecting the station to the property, and the bikes provided shortens the travel to any spots in the town significantly (don't think there was anything that took over 20 min).

Traditional style house and super nice hosts. Bikes for rental.

The body was sweet and helpful, he came to pick us up from the station and took us back the next morning, the house was beautiful and special. In the evening we took the bycicles to ride around town. The old town is sweet. I wish we'd spent there more time than we did

It's just important to note that if you don't have a car bycicles are your only choice and dinner is not a walking distance and most places close up pretty early

I saw this holiday entire home in the search page, I booked it immediately. Turned out that it was a very best decision that I made. Omihachiman is such a beautiful small town that has small canal flows through and surrounded by Lake biwa. We got to enjoy a 120 years old Traditional Japanese house by ourselves. And the house is located in a small local village only 1km from the lake biwa, so many sakura and rice field around. The owner picked up and sent us off from the train station, they speak well english, and also lent us 2 bikes to explore around which was really helpful. I keep thinking of the time that we were riding bike in the rice field, going through the sakura lane to the lake biwa. It is just too beautiful to describe

Nothing

It was great to stay in a traditional Japanese home, parking was available. Locators excellent if you have a car, we ate at the hosts recommendation which was excellent.

It would have been good to see a few basics on the kitchen

Old rustic charm. First time staying in a traditional Japanese house.

Place is old and a bit run down. Probably it was too cold and heating was not even.

We had this delightful traditional home all to ourselves. It was a classic Japanese style with modern amenities like bathroom and kitchen. A little sun porch overlooked the cute little garden. The communication with our host was excellent ( he spoke English) and he kindly transported us to and from the train station. We made good use of the bicycles provided and really got to explore everywhere from the lake to the city moat that winds through the old town. It was a great place to explore. We stocked up on groceries from a big supermarket a short bike ride away. We stayed 2 nights and loved every minute of it.
