From the very first time we arrived in Asuka, on to the house. We were surprised by it's magic. The village is so serene, near by all the amenities we needed from walking distance to restaurants, grocery store, and train station. The house itself is absolutely magical. It's like a fairy tail. We arrived right when the autumn color burst out their magnificent red, orange, and gold. This place is even better because the hosts, the elderly couple who take cared of us while we were there were the most genuine, kind, generous people we know. They are very proud of their house, as they should be. So, take care of this place if you are staying there, please. The gifts they gave us during our trip was from their own garden and handmade items. It's very touching and even though we travel to other places afterwards, Kotorian has a soft spot in our hearts. We were traveling the four of us adults and the house was enough space for everyone to do our own thing. The teenagers particularly love the bikes. While us the parents love to rest (to heal for me) and enjoy the slow living of Nara. This place is perfect for everyone. The kids even had a chance to go back to Osaka for a day trip by themselves without having any trouble navigating the trains. The train system between Osaka and Nara was easy to understand. Asuka is now one of our favorite villages in the world. Thank you very much for letting us stay at your beautiful home. We'll be back. Arigatou gozaimashita!

The house itself is spacious and cozy. The garden is a pretty one and invites for relaxing hours in the sun. We got a tour through the facilities by the extremly kind host! I definitely recommend staying here.
