About this property

A 5-minute walk from Kintetsu-Nara Train Station, Tsubakiso is an 85-years old Japanese townhouse with a lovely garden and free Wi-Fi throughout. Guests sleep in futon bedding on a tatami (woven-straw) floor. Free mineral water is provided. All rooms are air-conditioned and include a low table with floor cushions, an LCD TV and an electric kettle with green tea. Each room has an en suite bathroom. The sliding paper screens open onto a small patio or garden views in some rooms. Kofuku-ji Temple is a 5-minute walk from the inn, and Kasuga Shrine and Todai-ji Temple are about 2 km away. JR Nara Train Station is 850 metres away. The inn is located on a quiet street in a residential neighbourhood. Guests can enjoy the peace of the garden and take in the traditional Japanese architecture. Free laundry services are available. A Japanese-style kaiseki breakfast as well as a Western-style breakfast can be requested at time of booking. A vegetarian breakfast can be arranged upon request. We offer one free breakfast for guests staying for two days or more.
