The staff was really great helpful and very nice. They helped me ship things I had forgotten to my new hôtel. It was perfect. The guesthouse is very close to both train stations but remain super quiet despite the location. Very close to the park and many restaurants.

Delicious breakfast every day. Hiroko is easy to talk to. She always checks in and asks how things are once she is available, friendly but not in a pushy way. She and Dane are nice couple, they always provide help. Staying here is like staying home.

The staff were both very sweet and helpful, even when I had difficulties with transport. All the facilities were up to par and the staff made sure that we were more than satisfied! Even without considering this incredible service, the location and facilities of the stay (the bath, the food, the room, etc.) all contributed to an exceptional stay.

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.

We loved the attention to detail, especially the vintage record player with Japanese vinyls and how well stocked the kitchen was (oil, spices, rice, coffee etc. - the best we had in Japan!). Staff was very accommodating. Very spacious, perfect for our group. We had to change the group size due to a mistake of our own and it was very easy to resolve, thank you for that. We had a great time!

This was a beautifully kept room in a homey guesthouse. This was my only experience at a ryokan, staying at a string of hotels in the rest of my stay, and the quiet, private and genial hospitality was a delightful change.

It's a charming old house which is well-maintained and really makes you feel you are in Japan...even to a courtyard garden. The location was easy to get to either by walking from the station (15 minutes) or by bus (5 minutes), but was in a quiet and traditional part of Nara that turned out to be part of the pleasure (since, unlike most of Kyoto, Nara had retained its charm in the last half-century). We wouldn't hesitate to go back again.

You're made to feel welcome as soon as you step through the door. Hiroko and Dane were great hosts and the place provided us with everything we needed, including a nice breakfast. We got a lift to the train station when we were leaving as it was raining - a very nice gesture.

We had such an amazing time at Machiya no Yado Gu! The house gave us the feeling of traditional Japan, while being kitted out with all the modern amenities we could have wished for. Spacious, quiet, tastefully designed - and an unbeatable location a stone’s throw away from Nara park. Best of all, we had one of the most incredible hosts we’ve ever encountered. He went out of his way to generously help us every step of the way. Even drove us to the train station on his actual birthday! Can’t wait to be back!

Staying with Yoko in her guesthouse was the best of our Japan staying experiences! Yoko is a heartwarming host, we loved the Japanese traditional room, and even the bunk bed room was fine. What made it so special was the interaction of Yoko with her guests, so we actually felt we were friends staying in her house, sharing a bit of Japanese life. We had great meet ups with other guests, talking, eating (we could use her kitchen (!) and listening to traditional music (Yoko plays the shamisen :) Thanks again Yoko!

Great location! Nice and clean guesthouse with everything you need to feel at home. Mitsuyo & Kiyohito went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and they gave us amazing tips to enjoy our trip. If we visit Nara again we will stay here again.
