The building was old and had a great charme. The location was great, not too far from the main attractions but not in the noisy city center (especially at night). 10min on foot to the nearest train station and 15/20min to Nara park. A lot of interesting attractions all around.

The bed was soooo good 🥰 a very good thick mattress and a good thick cover, Everything was Very clean. You have your own bathroom and there is a bath attached to it 🤤. Enough toilet paper and toothbrush. And there is a kitchen, where you can cook your own meal. And of course a smoking area for people who smoke. This was the best place to stay in Japan

The staff was really helpful, giving tips about the surroundings and the person who checked me in even spoke fluent english which was a first on my trip. Also, the building and room itself had a real cozy vibe to it, which was nice.

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 ! :)
