This is an old traditional Japanese house, currently used as a backpackers. Taking that into consideration the experience of staying there is great value for money and the chance to stay in a Japanese house that has been kept with so many traditional features is not too be missed.

　近鉄奈良駅から少し歩いた場所にある、このゲストハウス。古い日本家屋を使用しています。階段が急だったり、少し寒かったり・・・古い日本家屋っぽくて私は好きです。寒いと言ってもキッチンは暖房が効いていますし、リビングはこたつがあるので暖かいです。 　スタッフの方も親切で、近隣のイベントなどを教えてくれてりして、観光の参考になります。近くには銭湯もありますし、飲食店にも困ることもありません。とても居心地の良いゲストハウスだと思っています。

Really stunning old teahouse now used as a guesthouse. Very traditional and in such an old building it cannot be totally 100% modern conveniences. If you want slick and modern go somewhere else but as an informal traditional style, reasonably priced guesthouse/backpacking hostel it was great. The owner was very welcoming and gave us lots of tips for the local area and is obviously very proud of her guesthouse and Nara. We had a beautiful room with a view of the garden to wake up to. We also had the opportunity to sleep on tatami mats, which won’t suit everyone but at least we can say we tried it. Excellent location for the deer park and shrines

Money well spent

The location is excellent and close to the sights in Nara. Altough there were some minor hickups with a borrowed charger not working and a toilet not flushing (!) the staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms were a bit cramped but ok. House was very picturesque and cozy with its own garden. Thank you for a good stay!

Hostel is just the right amount away from the big tourist spots to get some peace and quiet but close enough to visit everything! If you're upstairs, don't come here unless you can handle steep ones. Both receptionists that i dealt with were very friendly, informative and helpful. Had a little trouble adjusting the heat in one of the showers but figured it out eventually. Facilities were good. Common room and garden were very sweet. Other guests were lovely.

Très bel endroit avec beaucoup de cachet. Bien situé. Personnel sympathique. La propreté laisse un peu à désirer. Il y a de la moisissure noire sur les bouteilles de shampoing et de savon dans la douche et j’ai trouvé un bout de papier d’emballage dans le lit. Pour un court séjour, considérant le prix et l’emplacement, c’est un bon choix.

Love the fact I'm staying in a 100-year old traditional Japanese home! Its cleanliness is actually better than some places I've been to, much newer and modern.
