The purpose of my trip was to visit Nara city and Hase-dera temple for sightseeing so the guesthouse's location was ideal as a stop between the two.

A great location where you can enjoy sightseeing as well as aspects of a country life with farm-fresh produce and public baths. On the day of arrival, I went sightseeing on a bicycle to Kashihara Jingu Shrine and near the summit of Mt. Kagu, also known as Mt. Amanokaguyama.
