EVERYTHING! It’s so beautiful and old, the sound, the smell, the staff all was perfect. The guy that run the house upgrade us to the room that give on the garden, was kind enough to show us a map of Osaka and all of his highlights, let us know that a event was going to occur that same night

Billy Canada

The gentleman who took care of us was so sweet and attentive to all our needs and took the time to explain to us where everything was and gave excellent recommendations

Sahara United States of America

Wonderful old house with lots of character, beautiful space and perfect location - easy to get to temples on the East side. The common area was is very pretty and comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. I visited in December, when it was quite cold outside, but the room had warm blankets and I was very comfortable.

Alina United States of America

The location is great, and the yard is very beautiful! The staff is very friendly! Next time will still stay here!

Jing China

The house is beautiful and the garden is gorgeous. If you are expecting a hotel, it will not meet your expectations, but if you expect a Japanese style stay, it is great. I have been there twice, and if I visit Nara again, I'll stay there a third time. Very friendly staff.

Rodrigo Spain

The staffs are nice and the old house itself is amazing!

范晏綾 Taiwan

Stunning location, so authentic and beautiful! The staff was great, we had the chance to have a tea together and it was a great human experience. Very clean, the mattress was very comfy.

Elisa France

This property is very nicely preserved old house. The location is great: only two stops away from Nara Station, and close to bus stop. It is very close to Nara's park or the deer' park. Inside the park there was temples and palaces.
