We had an unforgettable stay at Satsuki! The host is truly a heartwarming person – incredibly kind, caring, and always there when you need help. After we got lost while hiking, he kindly came to pick us up. We also had some amazing, heartfelt conversations with him – such a beautiful and thoughtful soul! He speaks perfect English and gave us great insider tips and restaurant recommendations. Thanks to him, we had the best Okonomiyaki at a nearby local spot – so delicious and unique! It was a completely different experience from Tokyo, where things often felt more impersonal. Here, everything was filled with warmth and sincerity. We also enjoyed a typical Japanese breakfast, which was simple, delicious, and such a special experience. It’s those little moments that make a Japan trip feel truly complete and authentic. The house is cozy, peaceful, and perfect for hiking. There are supermarkets nearby, and the whole area has a romantic and relaxing vibe.

I was amazed by how lovely the room was, the tatami floors and sliding doors had a wonderful traditional feel, and there was even a seperate connecting room with a kotatsu table! This is such a cosy authentic Japanese experience, I felt very lucky to stay here. After traveling around a lot, hotel after hotel, having the feeling of being at home is so important.

Great place so close to the train station , the supermarket and the parcel to see temples and deers. Very clean and comfortable . The lovely family owners are the best … great hostel
This is a great hostel! The location is good and the family running the hostel are very kind.
You're made to feel welcome as soon as you step through the door. Hiroko and Dane were great hosts and the place provided us with everything we needed, including a nice breakfast. We got a lift to the train station when we were leaving as it was raining - a very nice gesture.
Great Hostel right at the gate to all the places you want to see in Nara. Also just a really short walk to Kintetsu Nara Station. Rooms are quiet and beds are stable. Clean shower and toilet. Breakfast included and I really like it. One big toast with a topping of choice, delicious salad and a drink.
Super comfortable house, great host :) We were able to leave our stuff while we walked around the city, rent bikes very close, all while feeling right at home :) thanks again!
