Very clean and warm. Maybe have some senki sembei in the room to feed the deer would be nice.

Great spot for staying a night or two directly in the Nara Park. This allowed us to get up early and have basically the whole park to ourselves before the tourist groups arrive. Would definititely recommend it!
The room was nice and clean, the staff was friendly and the location was perfect.
Amazing room, especially for the price, even as a solo traveller. Would definitely recommend (and have done to friends and family already). Great location, can see the deer from the window. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Basically an apartment, with a hob to cook on, a washing machine, just amazing. I can praise highly enough. Wish I could have stayed longer, and will definitely return if I ever go to Japan again.
located in the heart of Nara park, close to the nature and super quiet. you can enjoy early morning before the flow of tourists comes in. Room was comfortable for 2.
the only issue would be there is nothing around at night so you need to get to the city for dinner or cook in the kitchen (we haven't tried). also breakfast option starts only at 9:30AM.

Better than a 2-star hotel
Excellent customer services and spacious room. Nothing can complaint about unless you want the hotel close to the station or shops or luxuious lifestyle. Another plus is your can get very close to the deers from your room. Thanks!

Good experience - somewhat basic quarters
Great adventure, kids liked it. Room is not perfect, and best for 2-3 people though 4-5 can sleep. We had a good stay. Staff is very friendly and accomodating, 5 stars for them.

very nice host that explained the attractions around the area
might not be the easiest getting to the property as it was on the hill but it was worth it for the views

The property itself is simple but extremely charming, with a small kitchen combined into the dining room and a nook that just barely fits a bed. That’s perfect though, because the area around the property is the real draw. The room is a perfect base camp for excursions into the surrounding forests, mountains, parks, and historic temples. The bath room is a spacious japanese style combination laundry, bath, and washroom. It’s absolutely perfect for relaxing and refreshing after a long day of walking and hiking in the area!
And the owners are absolutely sweet and charming. They’re very friendly and accommodating and really make the experience feel special
My only regret is that I didn’t get more time there. By no fault other than my own, i arrived 2 minutes before the young man at the front desk was leaving for the night. Rather than a typical response pointing out my inconvenience to him, I was greeted with a genuine smile and warm welcome. I was made to feel like my presence there mattered. He took the time to show me around, make change for me from the till he had already cashed out, then he went as far as to ask “if I had eaten anything or had any food with me. When I told him I had some snacks from the train he smiled and brought me to the kitchen to go through there selection of noodles and beer they offered. I can’t remember the last time I felt so good about being somewhere. He then took the time to show me the room, make sure it was acceptable to me, and even gave me a walk through on how to use the washer and air dryer above the shower. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The mattress was fantastic and I got a great night’s rest. I was greeted the next morning with deer at my doorstep. All around the entire experience was one of the highlights of my trip.
