An utterly charming stay in a traditional 1920s building, which was once a tea master's home. Choose from bunk-bed dorms or five different-size private tatami-mat rooms, some with garden views. Bathing facilities are shared (bring your own toiletries and towel, or buy or rent them here), and there's a shared kitchen for self-caterers.
Children under 10 years are not permitted, to preserve the home's shōji (sliding paper doors) and antique glass windows. It's about eight minutes on foot from Kintetsu Nara Station.
