Hytter i Omihachiman

Guesthouse En is a beautiful rural getaway. The house was large compared with the many small hotel rooms we stayed in during our stay and it was so lovely to stay somewhere that had genuine Japanese atmosphere, but that also catered to western tourists (e.g. the bath/shower is suitable for both western and Japanese travellers). We also appreciated the little extra touches like an automatic heater in the toilet and decent coffee bags. The bikes were great to get us to and from town, and Hiroshi was also very generous to take us to and from the station for a day trip to Kyoto. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get out of town and experience Japan a little more slowly.

The house has everything that we wanted and is well placed to explore the old town area of omihachiman. It is well heated, and the beds are comfortable. The views would be amazing once the cherry blossom starts blooming. We were picked up at the station and dropped off during check out. The place is too big for just 2 people, but it never felt empty even when there's only two of us.

Liked the well equipped kitchen. The place was very nice and clean. The beds were firm and the pillows were just nice. The place was near some nice restaurants.

Wonderful rental property on a historic street in a quiet town, and a unique opportunity to stay in a traditional Machiya townhouse. It's the kind of experience that you come to Japan for, sleeping on futon in a tatami mat room, experiencing small town village life. The house has been beautifully restored and has everything you need. The host, who I never actually met in person, offered helpful restaurant recommendations and assistance making reservations, in addition to very detailed instructions on getting to the property from the train station by public bus. The toilet and bath is located in a separate building, which is a bit inconvenient in the middle of the night, but also contributes to the unique experience. I loved my stay here.
