In Naramachi and close to the sights, Guesthouse Makura occupies a 90-year-old wooden machiya (shophouse). It's been lightly renovated but retains much of the flavour of an old Japanese house (which may charm or annoy you: the walls are thin). But it's very well maintained and the English-speaking owner goes out of his way to make guests feel at home.
