NARAigoto EENA HOUSE, hotel in Nara

Located in Nara, 20 km from Iwafune Shrine and 24 km from Higashiosaka Hanazono Rugby Stadium, NARAigoto EENA HOUSE offers a garden and air conditioning.

Hisae is an extremely warm, attentive and welcoming host. When we arrived, she welcomed us with a cup of tea, explained how the house worked and gave us several recommendations (restaurants, sake tasting, etc.). She was there for us at all times, with any questions, and made us feel very welcome. The house is a renovated machiya in the heart of Nara's old town. It really did feel like home. There's a bus stop just a 1-minute walk away, serving all the main points in town. Very useful for visiting Nara. We also took part in a Japanese calligraphy course with an instructor and Hisae, who guided us through each stage of the learning process. We had a magical time, which will remain engraved in our memory. We would definitely recommend staying at the NARAigoto EENA HOUSE and the activities on offer. Many thanks, Hisae!

    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.
