Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and slippers, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi. At the guest house, every unit has bed linen and towels. Beautiful property and the host was amazing. He was so nice and gave amazing recommendations. He called a restaurant to make a reservation for which he recommended and it was one of the best yakiniku places we’ve been to. We also went out to a karaoke bar with him and we had a great time! It was a nice property but the host made the experience even better!

The guest house features a flat-screen TV. The kitchenette comes with an oven, a microwave and a toaster and there is a shared bathroom with slippers and a hair dryer. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service. A wonderful place with amazing hosts. They cared for me like a member of their own family—kind, helpful, and attentive. The house and garden were beautiful, set in a quiet countryside village far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The atmosphere was peaceful and truly special. Staying there was a beautiful experience and a glimpse of Japan you won’t find in big cities.

This 2-star guest house offers luggage storage space and bicycle parking. The guest house features family rooms. This is without a doubt one of the best places I have stayed in my entire life.

The house itself creates a special atmosphere of classic Japanese housing. I really enjoyed being there. Nara is amazing, not just a park and deers. It is very cozy and comfortable town where you just want to walk around and enjoy your time. I will definitely come back here again.

8.9 km from Higashiosaka Hanazono Rugby Stadium, natomi宿 is located in Heguri and provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. This recently renovated guest house is located 11 km from Iwafune Shrine and 13 km from Nara Station. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests. We stayed for two nights at Natomi - what a wonderful relaxing stay after 10 days of travelling in the big cities ! We stayed in the Tatami room and it was so spacious and the futon were very comfortable. The walls are are traditional walls / doors so sound does travel however it didn’t bother us in the slightest. The shared bathrooms were well appointed and very clean! The space was so relaxing and peaceful - the staff were so very helpful and accomodating ! They helped us to find our way to a golf course when there were no taxis available. We had breakfast each day which was great value for money and dinner one evening which was delicious! The location was great for us (close to golf course) and in a small village which was very peaceful, but it was a little out of the way. We had such a lovely stay and would consider returning if / when we are back in Japan !
