a small and cosy guesthouse
in Yamato-Yagi, Nara.
CONCEPT
HAJIMARI 01The beginning of Japan
Boasting over 1400 years of history with Japan's first capital, Asuka Palace, and first urban planning project, Fujiwara Palace, the historical landscape of the area has remained unchanged and provides an aura of times gone by.
These lands are the birthplace of Japan as we know it, its spiritual origin.
HAJIMARI 02The beginning of your journey
The closest train station, Yamato-Yagi station, is well connected with all major areas in the Kansai region and is within 30 minutes of essential tourist attractions such as Asuka, Fujiwara Palace Ruins, Hasedera, Kashihara-Jingu, Nara Park and Todai-ji. This is the perfect place to start your journey.
