Monthly Rentals in Sanda

It was awesome!It was so much fun!

Had THE most wonderful stay at Haruya Guest House. After sending us detailed public transport description, Yumi met us off the bus to walk us to the house with an umbrella. The space was incredible. Very relaxing and we did a gorgeous 6hr hike into the mountains on our full day. Harufumi and Yumi were so helpful and kind, and their pet duck, dog and pigeon really made it for us.

Wonderful house in the suburbs of Nara. Extremely comfortable futon mattresses and a large space to relax. Toshie is a wonderful host and we will definitely be back for another stay!

We felt so blessed to have been able to stay with Shohei and Mami! We had planned to stay here to recoup at the end of our trip before going back to working life and had no idea that it would be the highlight of our trip! Mami and Shohei are such wonderful hosts, their creative and warm nature made us feel right at home. Their knowledge of the area and community made their recommendations incredibly bespoke and personal! Some of our favourite memories were: using the beautifully crafted bath tub (which Shohei heated for us with fire wood) which was like having our own personal sento, Mami cooking us dinner (one of the BEST meals we’ve ever had!), local Sake tasting, their friends hosting a wonderful traditional tea ceremony for us, visiting local field to farm cafe / local craft store, Mami roasting coffee for us to take home, walking through the rice terraces…. The list goes on!! We had the BEST time and were so inspired by Shohei and Mami that we’re on the verge of a career change!
