This is an old traditional Japanese house, currently used as a backpackers. Taking that into consideration the experience of staying there is great value for money and the chance to stay in a Japanese house that has been kept with so many traditional features is not too be missed.

　近鉄奈良駅から少し歩いた場所にある、このゲストハウス。古い日本家屋を使用しています。階段が急だったり、少し寒かったり・・・古い日本家屋っぽくて私は好きです。寒いと言ってもキッチンは暖房が効いていますし、リビングはこたつがあるので暖かいです。 　スタッフの方も親切で、近隣のイベントなどを教えてくれてりして、観光の参考になります。近くには銭湯もありますし、飲食店にも困ることもありません。とても居心地の良いゲストハウスだと思っています。
