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.

super beautiful and serene, the welcoming was above and beyond. The host picked up our luggage from the train station and waited for us, even though we were 20 minutes late. we were invited to a beautiful morning prayer and were served a delicious breakfast. just a beautiful stay in a traditional Japanese house.

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.

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.

It has everything you need and more for a perfect stay! There was no staff present but they were very responsive and kind through messaging. Free drinks and snacks in the common room. Wish I could have stayed longer, really felt like a home away from home! ♥️

Perfect location and so comfortable and quiet and private even though it was in the middle of everything you would want to visit with plenty of good restaurants nearby. Nice that they had a washer and dryer to use :)
