一日一組限定 古民家の宿 勝右衛門 御所

The host family provided an exceptional experience with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. They went above and beyond by waiting for us outside at night near the property to ensure we didn’t get lost upon arrival. The room was impeccably clean, cozy, and well-equipped with thoughtful amenities such as a hairdryer, heater, and heated bed sheets, ensuring our comfort throughout the stay. The bathroom was equally well-maintained and inviting. The meals offered were outstanding, with generous portions and carefully prepared, handmade dishes. The hosts made a genuine effort to engage with us, understanding and accommodating our needs with great care. I wish to come b ack again next time!

Nothing at all, everything was great!

Our family stayed here for one night on New Year’s Eve, and we could not have chosen a better place to be for the occasion. From the start of our stay until the end, this was a truly exceptional experience. The hosts picked us up on the train platform and drove us to the house. We stayed in a gorgeous and spacious room, which was perfectly warm. After slipping into our yukatas, we were pleasantly surprised that the hosts prepared an elaborate shabu-shabu dinner for us in a special room, to celebrate the New Year. Aside from the delicious food, the hosts also explained every single element of the meal in detail (from how it is prepared to how it should be eaten). We had amazing sake to go with the food. We have never before received such amazing attention and service during a meal as we have here. After dinner, the hosts prepared a traditional Japanese bath for us and kept it warm the whole time by burning wood, while we took turns bathing. We had heated futons to sleep on, and we felt extremely relaxed (but still in a celebratory mood) when the clock struck midnight. We were particularly grateful for the hosts’ time, given we had arrived a bit late after spending a long time in Nara earlier in the day. They stayed up with us and took excellent care of us, and we never felt rushed. We are incredibly thankful. In the morning, we could choose a time for breakfast at leisure. The hosts prepared yet another fantastic meal for us, an amazing traditional Japanese breakfast. Homemade, very tasty, and informative. There is a lot more we could say, but seeing as space is limited, we especially want to mention the beatiful courtyard in the middle and the modern bathroom. The surrounding area was also peaceful and very pretty, and we enjoyed walking to the station in the morning, seeing the architecture and nature in the countryside (though the hosts again kindly offered to drive us, we chose to walk for the experience). A wonderful, unforgettable stay. Thank you!

This wonderful homestay is a must for anyone travelling in the Nara prefecture. A beautifully appointed traditional Japanese home with stunning architecture and courtyard garden. The futon beds are very comfortable, the western or Japanese breakfasts generous and tasty. We self catered one night however the dinners provided at the house are spectacular - we had a duck hotpot and kaiseki - all served on exquisite ceramics. The wood fired bath with hot stones was a highlight at the end of a cold day. We stayed for 3 nights in mid December and the house was always cosy and warm. As other guests have noted; the kindness, generosity, discretion and attention to detail shown by the hosts made this our most memorable experience in Japan. The care they showed towards my 87 yr old mother was touching. The advice on spending our days in the area invaluable. Sincere and heartfelt thanks from Jen, Sean, Anna and Ann

Nothing at all. To have stayed for longer. We will be back.

Despite my failing to communicate in a timely way everything was ready when we arrived. The owners tell us they have had an arrangement for years for kaiseki dinners to be delivered in, but they serve it as if you were in the restaurant and it is good quality and value for money. It's a single group booking only and although most of the house is very old, there is an up to date minkitchen if you want to make your own breakfast. Everything is well maintained. The bath is only outside access so in bad weather it could be a bit off-putting.

Our stay here was a highlight of our trip to Japan. We loved everything about it. The location was beautiful, charming, and authentic. The staff went above and beyond all expectations to ensure we had a great stay. There's no words to describe how lovely they were, and the level of customer service they provided. If we return to Japan, we hope to stay here again.

We loved the ambiance of this beautiful, traditional old house and garden. Hiro and Yuki are so friendly and caring. Every meal was great and they took great care to prepare vegetarian food. We really felt like valued guests. The area was so pretty and quiet! A holiday from our holiday!! We hope to come back one day and will certainly recommend to friends and family.

Our stay at Katsuemon Gosho was an absolute highlight of our trip to Japan. Everything about it was wonderful - the hosts and their gracious hospitality, the 200 year old traditional farmhouse, the stunning courtyard garden and the general rural neighbourhood. The hosts are proud of their home and we felt privileged to stay there. They only accept one lot of guests at a time which made our stay even more special. Translate apps allowed us to communicate very effectively. We ordered a traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast the next morning and highly recommend that if you are staying that you do too. The home cooked food was outstanding and more like a feast than a dinner. We would give this property more stars if we could.

Nothing. Everything delighted us.

one of the best experiences you can have when traveling japan, especially if you plan visiting Nora and would like to get to know the countryside. run by an amazing and warm-hearted couple. you can feel their heart and love for details/authenticity. I strongly recommend to order the japanese dinner and breakfast. after a long flight, I had the best sleep since a long time. hope I come back some day with by gf (thanks again for the gift!) and/or brother/sister.

everything was great

The staff were both very sweet and helpful, even when I had difficulties with transport. All the facilities were up to par and the staff made sure that we were more than satisfied! Even without considering this incredible service, the location and facilities of the stay (the bath, the food, the room, etc.) all contributed to an exceptional stay.

Nothing. It was great!
