Homestays in Tenri

Great host and facilities:) also in walking distance to Tenri Station

I was very fortunate that there were no other guests staying in the house and I had the whole space to myself, very spacious and comfortable, and the hostess Kyoko was so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place, close to Nara Deer Park.

Very nice traditional Japanese house, conveniently located near the metro that goes to Osaka, Nara and Kyoto. Staff was incredibly kind and even lent me their umbrella when it was raining. 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!

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.

The house belongs to an exceptional human-sized temple dedicated to a female Buddah. The garden is simply marvelous and the house is brand newly renovated but keeping the ancient style.

Our family stayed here for one night on New Year’s Eve, and we could not have chosen a better place to be for the occasion. From the start of our stay until the end, this was a truly exceptional experience. The hosts picked us up on the train platform and drove us to the house. We stayed in a gorgeous and spacious room, which was perfectly warm. After slipping into our yukatas, we were pleasantly surprised that the hosts prepared an elaborate shabu-shabu dinner for us in a special room, to celebrate the New Year. Aside from the delicious food, the hosts also explained every single element of the meal in detail (from how it is prepared to how it should be eaten). We had amazing sake to go with the food. We have never before received such amazing attention and service during a meal as we have here. After dinner, the hosts prepared a traditional Japanese bath for us and kept it warm the whole time by burning wood, while we took turns bathing. We had heated futons to sleep on, and we felt extremely relaxed (but still in a celebratory mood) when the clock struck midnight. We were particularly grateful for the hosts’ time, given we had arrived a bit late after spending a long time in Nara earlier in the day. They stayed up with us and took excellent care of us, and we never felt rushed. We are incredibly thankful. In the morning, we could choose a time for breakfast at leisure. The hosts prepared yet another fantastic meal for us, an amazing traditional Japanese breakfast. Homemade, very tasty, and informative. There is a lot more we could say, but seeing as space is limited, we especially want to mention the beatiful courtyard in the middle and the modern bathroom. The surrounding area was also peaceful and very pretty, and we enjoyed walking to the station in the morning, seeing the architecture and nature in the countryside (though the hosts again kindly offered to drive us, we chose to walk for the experience). A wonderful, unforgettable stay. Thank you!

I traveled with my family (7 people in total) and we loved how spacious and cozy was Nara Guesthouse 3F, offering both Japanese and Western rooms. We also loved the location - central, within walking distance from Kintetsu Nara Station, Nara Park, supermarkets, and dining facilities.

all are perfect and meet my expectation

The staff were flexible and friendly (between days) . The showers were good, the room was clean, plenty of water and drinks.
