This one-of-a-kind home has its own unique style.

The entire second floor is private.The spacious LDK is centred around the Graphtect kitchen, and the sky terrace, the most distinctive space in the villa, features an outdoor sofa, sauna (available 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm) and jacuzzi, as well as a 100-inch projector for movies and more.In addition, we have installed a full-scale BBQ grill from Canada's Broil King (now Waiver) so you can enjoy a barbecue at any time, and you can also enjoy it with a glamping feeling.(It is suitable for the BBQ grill to provide thick cut steak instead of meat for so-called yakiniku.) For sightseeing, it is very convenient to be located about 36 minutes by express train from the nearest JR Kizu Station to Kyoto Station, about 60 minutes by express train to Osaka Station, and about 6 minutes by express train to Nara Station.

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

Hi there,Welcome to the Nishimura residence.I’m Yuta Sugimoto, the host. Nishimura Residence is a traditional Nara machiya (townhouse) that is 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 accommodation.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 Naramachi to soak up the ‘comfortable rustic’ atmosphere that permeates the town.We provide books in the room and a vegetarian breakfast in the hope that this environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the station, will help guests ‘reflect and recover’.(You can purchase almost all of the books in the room.) 　Please spend tonight in the tranquillity of the Nishimura residence and Nara-cho, listening to the voice of your own heart.
