Great location to Omiya station and bus stops, convenient, right next to a convenience store great for coffee and food in the morning, unique experience staying in a traditional japanese town house with it all to ourselves, excellent heating, comfortable traditonal mat japanese style beds with comfy bedding, beautiful traditional bathroom, perfect location for train to bamboo forest, Eco friendly toilets with basins on top of toilet is excellent
It really needs a good scrub, the upstairs toilet cistern was stained and floor was very dusty in toilet, Bring your ear plugs its on a main road. Garden could use some attention more plants and flowers.

Good location, near important bus lines, nice renovation of an old town house
Old houses are made of paper, keep your earplugs at hand if you need it very quiet. This is a given given the type of house though...

Great location, heaps of space to enjoy the property and unwind.
It was a little noisey with construction on a near property working through the night.

It was a great experience. The house is spacious, which is a welcome change from small hotel rooms in city hotels. I would definitely recommend it for a few nights.
The check in / check out process was not super clear. We only learned the day before our arrival that we had to inform the staff of our arrival time. But the staff answered all our questions really fast so in the end everything worked out fine. The only thing that I really missed was someplace to hang my clothes. There wasn't much storage.
