Offering a shared lounge and river view, お宿さつき奈良五條 is located in Gojō, 29 km from Subaru Hall and 37 km from Tanpi Shrine. It is situated 37 km from Mihara History Museum and features a shared kitchen. There is free private parking and the property provides paid airport shuttle service. Beautifully converted machiya in the centre of the historic district of Gojo. Absolutely incredible view over the river and mountains. The host gave perfect recommendations (go where he tells you, the Okonomiyaki and the cocktail bar were excellent) and even reserved places for us. A really exceptional and kind host who had thought of lots of ways to ensure the stay was perfect. Can’t say enough wonderful things, one of the best places we’ve stayed in Japan and definitely the best host. Only wish we’d stayed longer!

The place was clean, the bathroom was spacious, and the futons were very comfortable. I also enjoyed the Japanese traditional breakfast. I would definitely recommend it!

Nara IROHA is set in Nara, 23 km from Higashiosaka Hanazono Rugby Stadium, 24 km from Nippon Christ Kyodan Shijonawate Church, as well as 24 km from Shijonawate City Museum of History and Folklore. It is located 20 km from Iwafune Shrine and features a shared kitchen. The property is non-smoking and is situated 3 km from Nara Station. 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.

余韻 奈良宿 - yoinn narayado is a recently renovated guest house in Gojō, where guests can make the most of its garden and barbecue facilities. The property is around 28 km from Subaru Hall, 36 km from Tanpi Shrine and 36 km from Mihara History Museum. Providing free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking guest house features a hot tub. 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!
