This is my second visit!I was very satisfied with this visit as well.For this visit, I used Building No. 2.Both places were so good that I couldn't choose which one I liked better!It was an even better accommodation because you could see how real Japanese people live when you take a walk around the neighborhood in the morning and evening.It felt like we were the only foreigners around this accommodation, so it felt more like a local trip.In the evening, it was very romantic to quietly drink a beer in the large yard and look up at the stars. I could see a lot of stars.It is run by a Korean-Japanese couple, and the Korean owner is so good at recommending restaurants and travel destinations that I am doubly satisfied!I am always very satisfied with my travels as you always provide great tips on restaurants and travel destinations that only locals know about.This accommodation is highly recommended for those who want to experience a full Japanese atmosphere!Next time, I will definitely visit with my family.

Good old appearance.An old house? No, it's no exaggeration to call it my second home.It's such a wonderful and magnificent house.It would be presumptuous to call it an inn.This is now a home.This is a wonderful home where the history of the house has been carefully preserved, and the owner's efforts to preserve the history can be seen everywhere, even down to the furniture.This is a must-visit place for anyone who has lived in a Japanese house or is familiar with it.From the moment you step in the front door, memories are sure to come flooding back to you like a lantern.In fact, I was able to relive the vestiges of my late grandmother's mansion and immerse myself in the memories.Please come and visit us and immerse yourself in the nostalgia.It's such a fascinating place.photo by.

This is a wonderful old private house where you can feel the owner's thoughtfulness and care for relaxing your body and mind, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.The interior design (I especially like the large rooms in Buildings 2 and 1) was very good, and the cleaning was thorough.The location is a little far from the station, but that makes for a quiet and private space.I have stayed here twice in the past, and the first time was in Building 1 with 8 people including my cousin's family, my parents, and my husband. There was a nice, well-maintained garden where we brought in food and had a leisurely garden party in a relaxing space with a night view, and we all had a lot of fun. You can also rent a barbecue set, which is great. It seems like you can now order meat for an additional fee.The bathroom is guest house style, with no bathtub and two showers, but a short drive away is Otonohana Onsen, a day-trip hot spring with the largest open-air bath in Nara Prefecture, so I highly recommend you go. I think so. ←The outdoor bath is the best! If I remember correctly, you can also eat at the attached restaurant except on Wednesdays.The second time, I stayed in Building 2 with my family and friends. It is a stylish space that is irresistible for retro lovers, and where the owner's taste shines through, giving the impression of being out of touch with the times. This building is a little smaller than Building 1, but there is a backyard with a view of the pond, where we enjoyed a barbecue.There aren't many lodgings that allow dogs, but this one does, so I'm very grateful.My dog ​​ran around in the large garden (Building 1) and was happy to spend time with us at meal times.Some people seem to think there are too many rules, but I think it's unavoidable in order to maintain quality. I believe it is also listed on the inn's homepage.It's close to Osaka, so you can easily use it as a relaxing inn on your day off without having to go far (^o^)If you go with a certain number of friends, family, relatives, etc., it's very reasonable and recommended!Rooms 5.0 Service 5.0 Maps 5.0

We enjoyed a barbecue in the garden when our relatives got together and then stayed the night.Everyone was very happy.The tasteful atmosphere of an old folk house is soothing no matter where you are, creating a space where time passes slowly.The kids were very happy to see that it was like a loft.

Guest room... I used it because pets are allowed, but there are almost no places where pets can be kept, so if that's the case, I wish they wouldn't allow pets. I can't be a repeaterService: There are too many rules, and even at check-in, the rules are explained thoroughly on a tablet, and as soon as you enter the building, you are so confused that it is impossible for me to become a repeat customer.Location: National highway? The separation road from the hotel is quite narrow and the location is very difficult to find.The building is built on a slope and there are stairs to the entrance, so it is difficult to become a repeat customer.
