NISHIMURATEI Hanare ― A 110-year-old traditional kominka house for rent, with kitchen and dining area

Hi there,Welcome to the Nishimura residence.This is Yuta Sugimoto, your host. The Nishimura residence is a traditional Nara machiya townhouse over 110 years old.In 2019, I renovated 'Grandma's place', where I spent a lot of time as a child, and opened it as an inn.As the Nara machiya has been preserved in its original state, it can be quite inconvenient at times, and it is not a luxurious hotel where everything is provided. 　Instead, I believe there is no better place than Nara-cho to soak up the 'comfortable rusticity' that permeates the town.We provide books in the room and a vegetarian breakfast in the hope that an environment away from the hustle and bustle of the station will help with 'reflection and recovery'.(You can purchase almost all of the books in the room.) 　Please spend this evening in the tranquillity of the Nishimura residence and Nara Town, listening to the voice of your own heart.
