The place was beyond charming! We wanted to try authentic Japanese house, and we were not disappointed, the area is really calm and there’s store nearby (accessible easier by bike) If you want to find a really nice play to stay in Nara, please do considered this place as a need to go

Lots of space, many rooms traditionally decorated with enough places to sleep, comfortable beds and pillows, lovely inner garden, all necessary appliances for short or long stay. Additionally, queit neighborhood with public bath and train station. Everything was perfect.

We had space for the 2 boys to just relax a little - roomy house with a small outdoor area.

All good.

Quite and beautiful neighbourhood close to everything

Nice and spacious. Easy walk to main destinations of Nara.

There were a couple of things to like about the place. A couple of sento are surrounding it, the beds felt good, the rooms were clean at first sight, and the fact that it was an small house for us alone was also quite good, a bit small if you would stay there with more than 6 adults. The atmosphere was good. Staying at this kind of a old house gives a very nice atmosphere. The fact that there were 2 parking spots was very convenient as well. The kitchen having more then enough cups and glasses was also very convenient and we were also provided with enough towels for our entire stay. The location is a bit far from all the main attractions in Nara, luckily the train station is quite close-by and you could also just walk towards Nara park, it takes some time, but when on vacation you probably have the time.

When looking under the beds we noticed that there was a lot of garbage, dust and even a cockroach underneath. This may be a place where most people don't look, but should still be cleanup. There is a washing machine, but there is not really any place to hang the clothes and towels after drying. Maybe provide a drying rack? One of the bicycles had a flat tire, and another one did not have a key to unlock. If bicycles are provided they should be accessible and use-able. The communication of the staff seems to be non-existent. The provided manual of the property has management telephone numbers of people who no longer work at the property. We requested 2 futon as we have a baby through messages and they said it would be arranged. However, upon arrival the futons were missing and non of the staff we reached out to knew about the agreement and told us to just use the Sofa instead (baby could fall out so wasn't an option, ended up using the zabuton to make a diy bed). This problem got solved for the second day, but only after many tries to phone and mail the property. My advice for this, change the manual so the contact details are up to date and have better communication between each other. This may seem like a lot of things we didn't like, but trust me when I say that we really liked staying at this property, even with these unfortunate things which happened.
