Kashihara is an ideal location to go around Nara such as Yoshino, Nara city and Asuka and easy access to Kyoto and southern Osaka.
The host is very knowledgeable about geography and transportation, and he gave us a lot of helpful advice. We enjoyed Nara so much and are thinking of coming back again!

Very friendly hosts and welcoming house. They provided good company and they were fun and easy to walk with. Also an great guide as they knew the area well both in terms of food and sightseeing. There were clear labels around the house to help navigate and use the equipment (in both Japanese and English) which was very useful. Happy to stay in the same place again!
