It feels like staying in a nostalgic Japanese home.It was old, but it felt clean.There are also cooking utensils and tableware, so I think it's good for multiple people staying.

Kei's house is perfectly clean, spacious, comfortable quiet peaceful with every amenities. Wifi is furiously champion super exellence.The house just can be come through directly by bus. (the bus stop is easily opposit the house)And it's located just a few walk to local tourist attraction which we had never known before visiting Omihachiman. But Kei already prepared some tourist brochures.Kei's house is very well many rooms.It's too need for two person, We stayed only downstair which was enough for eat, sleep and love.I have completely felt like homy that was natural surrounding, genuine environment.So pure and simple. So perfectly japanese life style.As long as i stay, Kei is very best accommodatingly person.My friend was really enjoy the kitchen part. It's quite safe and convinient.We do cooked ourself often and got a lot of fun to seek out the findable local food store that we brought some fresh foods then cooking at home.I just want to be isolated from main touristy feature and stay as local japanese, sort of countryside.Most morning and evening we were cycling around village, field, lake.There are a lot of retaurants and cafes or sake cocktail parlour around there. I quite often discovered a few nice cafe for breakfast and dinner, especially the next door cafe, very lovely unsweeted waffle egg salad.Department stores are all around, so goodly  freshy deliciousness.If you love cycling, just go out for a breath of fresh air at Biwako lake just 5 kiloes, there is a decent onsen beside the lake with very fine views, Or be there by local bus at the last stop about 540 yen (not sure).At the weekend, it was longer silence, more and more day dream. I suggest to go the tourist spots, you'll meet many japaneses visit Omihachiman as a recreation (Please check official day off).Girl guide.....It's comfortable safe to visit Omihachiman, i fall in love here and definately come back again.
