This was by far my favourite stay of my Japan trip. Not only was the guest house absolutely stunning and tastefully furnished, within very close proximity to the deer park, I was welcomed so warmly and it really felt like home for the night I was there. This is more than just a guest house- this is a beautiful place to bring people from all around the world together.

I was very fortunate that there were no other guests staying in the house and I had the whole space to myself, very spacious and comfortable, and the hostess Kyoko was so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place, close to Nara Deer Park.

The guesthouse was wonderful. Highlights included staff, the breakfast and a lovely little garden courtyard in the middle of the building. There are a couple of small bakeries and places to eat nearby which we really enjoyed, and wandering the neighborhood shrines was very nice. (Not touristy) although the main city shrines and deer park are a short 12 minute walk away.. Would definately recommend.
