Rural Retreat in Japan: Discover the Hidden Charms of Nara, true 'off the beaten track'
Are you looking for a unique and authentic rural Japanese experience? Here is our exclusive offer in the deep mountain region of Nara, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of this hidden gem.
Experience True Serenity: Picture yourself in a traditional three-bedroom house nestled in the heart of a village known for its crystal-clear river streams, where you can try your hand at fishing, or simply soak in the fabulous hot spring baths. There are a few different hot springs in the region.
Live Like a Local: Embrace the lifestyle of a villager as you breathe in the clear air, drink from the pure water sources, and interact with the warm and welcoming locals who have maintained their simple way of life. Although it's a small village, there is an organic bakery, micro brewery, and restaurant that serves local ingredients.
Immerse Yourself in Rich History: Discover Nara's ancient treasures. The Niukawakami Shrine, established over 1,300 years ago during the 4th year of Emperor Tenmu's reign, is a mere 10-minute drive from the guesthouse. Additionally, the World Heritage-listed temple, Kumpusen, is approximately an hour's drive away.
Nature's Splendor: Whether you visit in the spring to witness the breathtaking cherry blossoms, the autumn for the famous silver grass fields, or the winter to marvel at frost-covered trees, each season offers its own unique charm that will leave you in awe.
Exclusive and Rare: Unlike popular tourist destinations, this region remains untouched by mass tourism, allowing you to enjoy the true essence of Japan without the crowds. Savor the peace and quiet that's hard to find elsewhere.
Unique Hospitality: Experience genuine and uncommercialised hospitality from the locals who will make you feel like a part of their community during your stay.
The three-bedroom house, called 'Kazeno Tani' (the valley of the wind), is fully equipped with everything you need for a long stay. A catering option is available upon request. A cozy small restaurant run by a young couple is open nearby until late.
The guesthouse, Kazeno Tani, is not listed anywhere; it's only available through Japan Holiday Concierge. It's your home away home.

Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the beauty of rural Japan. Book now through Japan Holiday Concierge to secure your spot in this hidden paradise!
Look beyond the ordinary touristy spots in Kyoto, Osaka, and/or Tokyo, and discover the enchanting village life of Nara. Nestled amidst the lush mountains of the Yoshino area, the charming village offers a unique experience throughout the year.
Embrace All Four Seasons in the Tranquil Heart of Nara:
Spring - witness a breathtaking explosion of vibrant cherry blossoms;
Summer - cool off in crystal-clear mountain rivers. You can also enjoy fishing there;
Autumn - hike through a captivating sea of silvergrass on the famed Soni Plateau;
Winter - view a magical wonderland of frost-covered trees on Mt. Miune.
Nara is one of the oldest sites of Japan and rich with history; the photo below is that of 1300 year-old shrine.
Good accommodation is hard to come by in rural areas of Japan, but we know a guest house is opening soon in the area. Japan Holiday Concierge can offer an exclusive deal (a stay package of one week). Contact us for more details.

Finding accommodation in Kyoto:
In Kyoto, Airbnb typically offers better value for money compared to traditional hotels in the area. However, finding a top-quality Airbnb can be a challenge, as it reflects the owner's personal standards. What may be considered normal or comfortable varies greatly based on individual lifestyles and backgrounds. Those unfamiliar with English-speaking countries may not grasp the standard norms we adhere to.
Furthermore, Airbnb properties are often located in areas that might not be ideal for travelers, especially if they are unfamiliar with Kyoto's layout.
To secure an excellent deal that truly delivers value, consider enlisting the help of someone well-versed in both Western living standards and the intricacies of Japanese culture and society. This is precisely where our service excels.
It seems that things are finally getting back to normal, and many people are travelling to (or planning to holiday in) Japan!
I am here to help. Japan Holiday Concierge is a personal travel assistant. I offer consultation and travel planning service.
I can offer consultation as to: where you shall visit and stay if you are travelling with small children, about skiing in Japan, about great hot springs, etc. Or for those seasoned Japan travellers, we can discuss your 3rd, 4th, and 5th destinations.
The service fee depends on what you require and the size of your travel party; if you are not that fussy person, it is probably around $300 to $600 for a 7-day travel arrangement.
Please only contact me if you are serious about hiring me. My clients generally end up saving thousands of dollars (and headache) by hiring me, that's for sure. 😀
But it's not just about saving money. For example, some hot spring Inns in Japan are not on the list of big travel agencies. Those places only take bookings by phone, usually 3 months in advance but sometimes 6 months in advance. I can help you discover such places and deals that you would not otherwise have had access to.

Holiday Inspirations
Hiring Japan Holiday Concierge is like hiring a skilled tax accountant — you will find valuable travel tips, unexpected deals, and avoid a lot of hassle. You will maximize the value of your money (=end up saving money) by hiring us.
A rough estimate of our service fee is about 10% to 15% of your total holiday budget (excluding a return airfare), but it depends on the length of your holiday, and the complexity of the travel arrangements. If your holiday budget is $10,000, our fee is around $1500.
Setting your ballpark budget is to set your expectations; it will be a guide for us when we make travel arrangements for you. And that’s all you pay for now. You pay us for our time to make a travel arrangement for you, and after you arrive in Japan, you will pay directly to accommodation and tourism service providers. For more information about our service and fees, see our website Frequently Asked Questions.
Create your original travel plan that is more satisfying than pre-fixed travel packages, for the same or less price, by hiring Japan Holiday Concierge. The travel industry’s standard net profit for selling a travel package is said to be 15% for international travel. If you pay the same amount, why not buy a personalised product?
