If you are looking for a nice, clean and affordable place in Nara, don’t hesitate ! It is at less than 10 min from the nearest train station and also convenient store. The place is a mix of typical Japanese house but with a + in confort ! I was very well received by the owner and I enjoyed my short stay there !

This was by far my favourite stay of my Japan trip. Not only was the guest house absolutely stunning and tastefully furnished, within very close proximity to the deer park, I was welcomed so warmly and it really felt like home for the night I was there. This is more than just a guest house- this is a beautiful place to bring people from all around the world together.

I was very fortunate that there were no other guests staying in the house and I had the whole space to myself, very spacious and comfortable, and the hostess Kyoko was so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place, close to Nara Deer Park.

The host was really nice, I asked to stay an extra night in the same room as I wanted to explore more of Nara and it was no problem. Comfy bed and great heating system. Bathroom was very clean and I loved the garden in the middle of the property! I really liked the location as you’re away from the crowds a little bit (not to far from Nara park though) which is nice as exploring Nara park can get a bit overwhelming with the crowds. Near a Japanese supermarket which wad fun to check out and a great Ramen restaurant!

    Absolutely incredible comfort and hospitality. The owner is exceptionally friendly and outgoing. Fells like a homestay rather than a hostel. Great way to meet new people also.

    You're made to feel welcome as soon as you step through the door. Hiroko and Dane were great hosts and the place provided us with everything we needed, including a nice breakfast. We got a lift to the train station when we were leaving as it was raining - a very nice gesture.
