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!

The guesthouse was wonderful. Highlights included staff, the breakfast and a lovely little garden courtyard in the middle of the building. There are a couple of small bakeries and places to eat nearby which we really enjoyed, and wandering the neighborhood shrines was very nice. (Not touristy) although the main city shrines and deer park are a short 12 minute walk away.. Would definately recommend.

The guy at the reception was very friendly and helped me a lot! I didn't know how to use the air conditioner and he set up everything himself. He also kindly gave me an adapter as I forgot mine. The room was very nice although a bit cold for me. But with the air conditioner it was fine) I really appreciated the view on the park as I could see deer right out of my window. I also liked the common room! It's very cosy and warm.

    The place was well located, close to Nara park and the train station but tucked away on a quiet street. The beds were huge and comfortable, very clean and it felt like home. I only stayed one night but wish I stayed longer. Yoko is one of the warmest and friendliest hosts I’ve had, she shared stories with me about her experiences owning a guest house, she made everyone feel very welcome, and she shared her tofu with me in the morning. My most wholesome stay in Japan by far.

    Yoko the owner is the best! She welcomed me so warmly with tea and a snack and introduced me to all the guest! She gave me a small tour and really made me feel welcome. The guesthouse is really beautiful traditional style with really comfortable beds with spacious rooms. The guesthouse is also in a great location, but at the same time quiet and peaceful, it's a shame I could only stay one night. I look forward to staying here again one day. Thank you Yoko! - Andrew

    Very well located next to the park. Quiet and small garden all around the house. Our host was very attentionnate. Excellent japanese breakfast. Very cheap for sleeping in a very nice neighborhood. Free bikes. We loved cycling around the small old streets of Naramachi, which is as nice as old Kyoto and lest touristic.

    We loved the tatami room and the futons were very comfortable. The guest house was in a great location, on a quiet street but within walking distance of all the major sites and shopping areas. The breakfast was delicious and great value.

    A very charming guesthouse, ideally located 5min walk from the JR station (Kyobate). From Nara station, it takes around 20min walk to get there. The host was amazing, so helpful and nice, giving his advice on the places to go out for dinner, public baths, etc. He helped us to send our luggage to our next step location, and we are so grateful he did. Thank you so much for this great stay, we strongly recommend this place to stay ! :)

    An exceptionally clean and well-kept guesthouse in a quiet street with some shops and restaurants, still within walking distance of the park, city centre and the railway stations. There is a shared common space with TV, microwave oven, refrigerator and free coffee and tea as well as various information brochures about Nara in several languages. The owner takes care of the house herself and is incredibly nice and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here a lot!
