Experience a Stay in a Traditional Japanese House in Nara

A Historically Significant Building Overflowing with Taisho Romance

Nestled in the hidden gem of Utano, Nara Prefecture, “Nanon” is a guest house renovated from a traditional Japanese house built during the Edo period. The main building is supported by massive pillars with a history of over 300 years, exuding a simple yet elegant atmosphere with features such as a keyaki wood door and spacious drawing room, conveying the grace of a former merchant house. There are two storehouses on the premises, quietly evoking the vibrancy of the past.

Embrace the Unusual Surrounded by the Scenery of the Rural Mountains

As you look around, you will be captivated by the picturesque scenery dotted with former gatehouses and townhouses. In the evening, you can gaze at the starry sky, and in the morning, there is a possibility of collecting eggs used for that day’s breakfast. Fireflies dance along the stream, allowing you to experience the activities of nature up close. Far from the city, you can experience an incredible, otherworldly time.

A Soothing Space Illuminated by a Wood Stove

The guest rooms are designed with a quaint charm, surrounded by earth walls, and the warm flames of the wood stove create a comfortable atmosphere. For breakfast, you will be served rice cooked in a clay pot using rice from the paddy fields and a delicate rice porridge made with a homemade fragrant broth. The nostalgic flavor unique to a traditional Japanese house will release you from the hustle and bustle, soothing your soul.

A lovely family run guesthouse. The shared living room space has a wood stove which was very warm. We saw that they had the capacity to take two teams of guests (maybe more?) - we saw 2 conjoined rooms next to living room and we had the room in an annex loft. One inconvenience is if you need the bathroom in the middle of the night and you are in the annex room as you have to go down the small deep steps to use the toilet (bathroom is also below). Otherwise the hospitality at this place was excellent and everything was clean and well kept.

The food was very delicious. There was a wood-burning stove and it was very relaxing. The husband came into the room to take care of the firewood, so I felt a little uneasy. Perhaps because it was a guest house, there were no pots, cups, tea or water, so I had a problem when I wanted to drink water. We recommend that you bring your own.

A top-class old merchant house has been turned into a guest house. The building's mainstay is made of extremely thick zelkova wood, and even the door panel is made from a single piece of zelkova wood, a luxurious wood that is difficult to obtain these days.There is also a large shoin, and there are two storehouses on the premises. You can feel like the husband of a celebrity. This is a recommended inn where you can enjoy a different level of relaxation, with traditional townhouses and checkpoint gates surrounding the building. The husband and wife of the inn are also very nice and calm people.

This is a wonderful guest house where you can stay in the history of Uda Matsuyama itself. The tea porridge breakfast is also delicious and recommended. The convenience store is far away, but the parking lot is right in front, so it's convenient. You can enjoy a fun night that is different from the hotel.

My husband and two grandchildren stayed here for one night. The rice cooked in a clay pot was very delicious. We also saw fireflies in the small river in front of the guesthouse. The stars were beautiful and my grandchildren were impressed. It's a very relaxing space. Please send it again.
