KONJAKUSO Nara Kitamachi “MANAKA” Private Spa Villa

Kitamachi, Nara—an ancient capital. A private rental Accommodation with an open-air bath, watched over by Manajika deer.

A private whole-house Accommodation nestled in the quiet Kitamachi area on the north side of Naramachi, just a short walk from the UNESCO World Heritage site Todai-ji Temple. Inspired by Nara’s legendary sacred deer, “Manashika,” the interior features deer motifs, kumiko woodwork, and carved transom panels throughout. On the courtyard wood deck, you’ll find “Manashika-no-Yu,” an open-air Shigaraki-ware bath. Breathe in the scent of hinoki cypress and feel Nara’s open sky as you gently unwind. With 188 m² of total floor space, 4 bedrooms, and 8 beds, this Accommodation can host up to 16 guests. The soaring main hall is equipped with a large projector for enjoying Todai-ji Temple, Nara Park’s deer, cherry blossoms, and other local highlights on a big screen. A playroom with a bouldering wall, hammock, and Nintendo Switch—plus BBQ equipment on the deck—offers plenty to enjoy all day long even with a large group. Stroll among world heritage sites in the morning while meeting deer along the way, then relax at night wrapped in the calm of a traditional townhouse neighborhood. Enjoy an exceptional whole-house stay that lets you experience all of Nara at once.
