Great stay in Nara

Kind staff, phenomenal location, and beautiful room! It’s located a short walk away from main shopping streets as well as Nara Park. It did not bother me however it’s worth mentioning that there are multiple bathrooms to share between the guests and the walls are very thin so sounds other make can be heard easily. However, when next in Nara, I will certainly stay here again!

Various options for different type of travelers. We got a lovely room that overlooked the front yard. The manager was very friendly and it felt somewhat like staying at a friend's place. The property is accessible on foot or by buses as it is on the main street as the Kintetsu train station. Overall great place
