I stayed here for 2 nights. Since we were with 3 Swiss friends and 1 Japanese person, we rented it out for ourselves, and the Buddhist lecture was very enjoyable and served as a reference for our sightseeing taxi the next day. The sukiyaki was delicious and I am grateful to the owner who was so kind. thank you very much.

I had sukiyaki.The meat was very tender and delicious, and was grilled by the owner.I was very interested in the shop owner's story, and when I thought about how much he loved Nara, I started to think that I had been neglecting Nara until now, and I began to cherish and re-create things that were only found in Nara. I felt like I wanted to discover it.He also participated in the mizutori at Nigatsudo, and I was impressed by how casually he spoke to me.And always will beWe support the activities in Nara behind the scenes.

I used it in the fall of 2015. At that time, it was called Kohaku, but I wonder if it was changed.This is a really late post, but I'll write it down as a memory from that time.The owner is a very nice guesthouse, and he originally lives in the area where I currently live, and he started a guest house because he was attracted to the beauty of Nara.I also love Nara, so I had a lot of fun talking about all kinds of things there.I am also happy that it is still continuing.Since then, my life has changed, and now that I have a small child, my household has become a bit noisy, so I'd like to visit again when things have calmed down.The rooms included double-decker beds and Japanese-style rooms. I also have fond memories of brushing my teeth and chatting with people who came from other prefectures at the washroom.The living room, called the lobby where you can talk, had a simple sink...I think it was a relaxing space.

Wonderful owner! I was moved by Sakai-san's kindness. I have stayed at various accommodation facilities (hotels, hostels, inns, etc.), but I have never found an owner who is so considerate to travelers!I felt grateful and moved by their hospitality and compassion.They always put themselves in the perspective of the traveler, and when my precious trip to Nara was ruined (during the current national travel support issue), they responded quickly and flexibly..._(_^_)_Although I wasn't able to take the Buddhism course, I have a very warm feeling that I was able to learn more than that.Someday, I would like to become a great person like Mr. Sakai who can provide services with an open mind.Thank you very much.

Two female college students used it. In conclusion, I am very satisfied with the kind service provided by the owner! ! (I also like the sticker you got at the end)First of all, we were able to respond flexibly even before we started using the hotel, such as by allowing us to check in earlier and storing our luggage early. Furthermore, when I dropped off my luggage, they gave me their phone number, and if I had a problem, they responded immediately.Even when there were mistakes on our part that I can't write about here, they handled everything with a smile, which was really helpful.When you had your fill of delicious sukiyaki, you asked me to come back again, so I would definitely like to do so. It was a short stay of 1 night and 2 days, but thank you very much!
