素敵な古民家宿でした お料理もお酒もとても美味しく、リビングてもまったりくつろがせてもらいました〜 自転車も貸してもらって最高のロケーションです 四人部屋の個室に二人で泊まったのですが、2月の最高に寒い日だったので、後で考えたら二階に寝れば暖かかったのかなと思いましたので、ご参考まで

自分のミスで夕飯をダブったのに、優しく対応してくださって嬉しかったです！光の回廊イベントもあり、周辺観光も充実！バス停からの案内が不明だったのと、時刻によってバス停が変わるなどの情報もあれば万全でした。

It was easy to find the hostel. I traveled by bicycle though, otherwise it would be quite far away from train stations. It was great to explore around and relax. I enjoyed my time in Asuka.

奈良タイム

古民家をリノベした建物です。自由にくつろげるお部屋が3つあり、夜は、飲んだりできます。 地元の情報誌も色々あります。周辺へのアクセスが限られているので、レンタサイクルが便利だと思います。あとは、周遊バスかタクシー移動になります。 アクセスが少し不便な事も、遺跡の中に居させてもらってると楽しめる場所です。
