Pretty restored house
Lovely, restored old house. There's a pay parking lot across the street and it's walking distance to Miidera temple and the waterfront. Great breakfast.

Great place and great owners
Wonderful! This B&B is in a restored old store. The pictures do not do it justice. Breakfast was delicious. Room was spacious with soft and fluffy blankets. If you are worried about the shower/tub in another area, I did not have a problem. They are very clean. Little notes about different parts of the house adds to the lore of the area and the building. I would stay again if in the area again. You should stay if given the chance.

Nice B&B in convenient location.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Inase Otsu Machiya B&B. The english-speaking staff was exceptionally helpful and accommodating, recommending nearby restaurants and pointing out the local attractions. This is perhaps what I remember most about this place. The twin-room was large by Japanese standards and featured a a sink and restroom. The shared shower and bath were located downstairs. The 2 beds were quite comfortable - both consisting of large tatami mats raised a foot or so above the floor. The B&B is on a quiet side street and was able to sleep well every night. About a 5 min walk to Lake Biwa Port and a 15 min walk to JR Otsu station; from there 10 min (2 stops) to Kyoto Station. In addition to usual convenience stores the is a supermarket nearby. Hope to return someday if I am in the area.

Delightful family operated B&B at Otsu near Kyoto
Inase Bed and Breakfast is a family run establishment at Otsu near Kyoto (Japan). It is a 2017 renovation of an old building. Inase aims to offer a traditional Japanese experience and does it extremely well. My partner and I chose the "western style" room. It was lovely. However, older visitors may find the absence of anywhere to sit a bit of a problem. The "seats" are Japanese style which means a chair with no legs that sits on a mat. The beds are western style but perhaps a little harder than a western visitor would be used to, The staff are extremely friendly and speak good English. A free Japanese breakfast is part of the tariff. Breakfast patrons sit on the floor but there is a "bar" for international visitors who can order a "western style" breakfast if preferred. Parking could be problem but Inase is very close to public transport in the form of the Keishin line from Kyoto that runs down the street in Otsu. This unusal feature attracts railway enthusiasts from Japan and around the world.
