Great location. Sweet small (3room) guest house with traditional tatame rooms. Halfway between the train station amd the main attractions. Would definitely stay there again.

Cute little spot centrally located. Fella on the front desk was lovely and eager to help us organize our outings (also spoke English very well) Place was very clean. Room was very small, not unusual for Japan though. We were able to rent bicycles from the hotel which was a must to pack in all Nara has to offer. A bit hard to find, but nice to be on a quiet area. Would stay here again.

駅近くで大変便利
近鉄奈良駅にもJR奈良駅にも近い位置にあり、大変良いロケーションです。 通りから奥まった位置にあり入り口が少し分かりにくいですが、逆に そのおかげで大変静かな環境でした。2泊させて頂きましたが設備もきれい で、大変楽しい家族旅行を過ごすことができました。

地點方便，乾淨舒適，位於小巷內，安靜清幽，老闆很熱心，隔音稍差。
一早八點就去寄放行李，老闆還在店門外守候，熱心的問候行程，房間雖小但乾淨舒服，洗臉台太小，水很容易滴到地板，除此之外沒什麼好挑剔，在小巷內，很安靜，睡了一晚好眠。

Nice place to stay
It's not easy to find it (well googlemap wasn't really good) but when you have it's a nice place to stay. The rooms we were in wasn't huge but it was enough. The place is calm and resting is possible here. The owner is very nice and we would recommand that place and even going back there ourselfs ! In the surroundings you may found a lot of restaurants or shopping possibilities.

Good location near Downtown 旅館的地點交通很方便
The owner asked us when we would arrive the hotel. although We arrived earlier, the owner greeted with us with welcome and let us leave the luggage in the hotel. When we came back from the sightseeing, in the evening.The room was ready. The hotel is near the downtown. It takes only less than 10 minutes by walk to JR Nara or Kintetsu Nara station. 老闆先詢問我們什麼時候會到旅館，雖然我們早到了，老闆也很熱烈的歡迎我們， 晚上回到旅館的時候， 房間已準備好了，旅館的地點接近奈良市 的中心，交通很方便，離JR奈良市車站或近鐵奈良市車站走路不到十分鐘

We enjoyed our stay very much. While small-ish, it was very clean, and comfy. It is not a "normal hotel" - so you should not expect it to be like one... The owner was very helpful when we had questions, and when our luggage was delayed (lost in transit...).

Fantastic little guesthouse
A great little guesthouse just off the main road. The guy at the front desk was super friendly and helpful when we needed anything, and upgraded us as we were staying for a few days (longer than most)! Shared kitchenette including a fridge for those who want it and everything was very clean and tidy. Definitely recommended!

Hôtel bien placé, super rapport qualité prix
Super expérience de découvrir une chambre traditionnelle japonaise. Le gérant Iki est extrêmement gentil et parle anglais. Il nous a conseillé un izakaya dans lequel nous ne serions jamais rentré autrement.

老闆人很友善，出發前就不厭其煩的幫忙處理餐廳預訂的問題。 當天因坐錯車關係，比預計晚到，老闆還特地出來巷子口等我們，還幫忙提行李上樓，實在很感謝！！

Très bon hôtel

因為GOOGLE MAP導航的位置有誤，但是旅館有先EMAIL一份地圖給我，以致我不會走錯，不論搭JR或是近鐵都可以，步行約10分鐘就可以到達，在奈良住了兩天，一樓有簡易廚房可以使用，因為房間淋浴間略小，於是我們到附近的 朝日澡堂 洗澡，下次如果再去奈良，一樣會選擇入住。
