Beautiful property and the host was amazing. He was so nice and gave amazing recommendations. He called a restaurant to make a reservation for which he recommended and it was one of the best yakiniku places we’ve been to. We also went out to a karaoke bar with him and we had a great time! It was a nice property but the host made the experience even better!

Nara‑an is one of my favorite places to stay in Japan. Why? - It’s spotless, peaceful, and set in a quiet small town just a 7‑minute walk from the nearest train station. From there, it’s only about 10 minutes to Nara and under an hour to Kyoto or Osaka. - The inn is run by a wonderful American‑Japanese couple who make the experience feel more like staying with family than at a hotel. - Breakfast is fantastic, and the shared common area with a TV has a cozy, home‑like atmosphere. - Every room is stocked with all the essentials. Some have private bathrooms, others have shared facilities, but everything is thoughtfully arranged. - Plenty of hot water and comfortable Japanese futons round out the stay.

Yuki San was an amazing host that really made us feel welcomed. Her place is super clean and offers a great common area for hanging out with other and chatting with other guests. The futons in the tatami room were thick and comfortable. 15-20 minute walk from the train station with restaurants and Family Mart along the way. Super quiet, small town setting.

It was clean, spacious, equipped. There were washing machine, dryer, microwave, oven, barbecue materials, barbecue setting, kitchen utensils, cooking equipments, fridge, even printer and Gomoku/Weiqi setting. I was impressed. Very beautiful, traditional Japanese styled. The host Keiko is very passionate, helpful and nice. She drove me from station to the guest house and even spent her time to accompany me to see Nara. We spent wonderful time together. Amazing place, host and trip. As a solo traveller, I enjoy the guest house very much, but it would also be a perfect place for group travelling since the guest house has common areas for fun, barbecue and cooking. It would be so nice if you travel in group and spend a couple of days here, with only one day I didn’t think I had explored Nara enough. Nara is also a good place to take a break and chill if you don’t have a packed schedule.

The guesthouse was surrounded by forested mountains and only the peaceful sounds of nature. The breakfast was the most memorable meal I have had in Japan. I loved all the food, especially being invited to join the hosts to eat dinner with them. It was a pleasure to be able to see the working farm with goats, chickens and an adorable cat. I loved learning about the plant-dying methods using local leaves and the couple's deep knowledge about this art. It would be nice to return one day.

The owners are so lovely, it was a really nice experience. I had just finished a 3 day hike and was exhausted so the mum made me a delicious Bento box for dinner. The living space is very spacious and light, it felt very relaxing in there. The communal kitchen and bathroom area is also very spacious and has everything you would need.

Absolutely incredible comfort and hospitality. The owner is exceptionally friendly and outgoing. Fells like a homestay rather than a hostel. Great way to meet new people also.

Friendly and hospitality, that is all I can talk about the owner, when we stay in this homestay, I feel like in my home with the warmer spaces, we have talking together about personal trip, travel and all things in this world. Even when my friend have a a trouble with her heath, they help me to find hospital and call the taxi during the bad weather effect by big typhoons. We have heard all kind of music in that typhoon night. How the beautiful memories, I will go back again if I have chance. Love Tsubame House and Nara Prefecture.
