As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by a friendly and enthusiast host who had good english. She offered to keep our bags safe until check-in time later in the afternoon. The place looks very unique, welcoming, with attention to detail. Everything was clean both in the common areas as in the private room and toilets. There is a small common kitchen were you can cook yourself a quick ramen or similar, very convenient. We only spent here 1 night as we were travelling from Osaka to Kyoto and highly recommend stopping here, both for the accomodation and also for the Nara experience. The room was big enough for a couple, had AC, WiFi, a small desk and seats, and a comfortable bed. The shower was super nice. The location is convenient as it is close to the Nara main station, but a bit of a hike to all the main attractions, very doable to walk everywhere nonetheless.

The sink in the bathroom was really tiny, difficult to use.

Everything was super ! Cant recommend this place enough. Spacious room, decent toilet inside the room. 5 min from Nara station. Surrounded by freat restaurants and not far from Nara Park. We enjoyed our stay sooooo much!! We'll definitely try to come back soon. We were able to leave our luggage a few hours until our train departure. Notes: no cleaning during the stay but if you ned need towels or anything just let them.know or leave everything outside your door and they'll fix it for you. Incredible helpful host ♥️ and a lot of material to plan your day in the lobby. Kitchen facility available, but also sooooo many restaurants around that we tried as much as we could.

Really there was nothing bad.

The design of the room was very pleasing-- it was a nice place to stay with a partner. Also enjoyed the high pressure shower and heated toilet seat. Room felt very secure. Had the least cramped bathroom out of all the places we stayed in.

The sink was very small and hard to use without splashing water on the floor, but small sinks turned out to be quite common in Japan. It was hard to effectively ventilate the bathroom while out during the day, and ventilation was often needed because, well, there was a lot of sink water on the floor...

The location was much closer to JR Nara station than I expected. Easy to spot as well. They've got almost everything you can think of for a comfortable stay. They even have free tooth brush, which is very handy! The room was not that big but spacious enough to open our small-ish suitcase without any problem. The staffs are very attentive and kind.

The washbasin was so tiny that you can't really wash your face in there. But I used the shower so that was ok. That's the only downside I can think of. I'm so glad I chose this place to stay:)

Close to Nara JR Station. It's definitely a different experience. There is a small community area on the first floor where one can meet and hang out with new people. Small kitchen is available on the first floor as well. The community area offers a wide-range of books and party-games. Friendly Staff and great location. I will definitely comeback here when I want to spend a night in Nara. Close to the Toyota Rent-a-Car Station as well.

There was only one Towel available, not the end of the world but still. Only cold water from the small sink, not optimal for washing the face. Wasn't an issue for me but the Staircase is quite narrow so walking up with big luggage can get difficult.

It's a traditional style guesthouse with tatami floors and low beds, very nice experience! Room and facilities were clean, on the ground level there is a common area with kitchen and fridge, available for guests, as well as some games. They have some leaflets about the city and tours available. Excelent, Nara is my favorite city in Japan so far!

Honestly, there are no real complaints. If anything, I'd say that it's quite funny to have a glass door separating the room from the toilet, so if you are traveling with someone, you better be comfortable doing your business in front of them (or go to the ground level common toilet)

Excellent stay, wonderful and friendly hostess, extensive collection of Naruto Manga, very affordable rental of bikes, located centrally near JR Nara line, market, and Nara Park. Accomodation is very clean, and there is amenity for large refrigerator, microwave, and lovely lounge downstairs. Highly recommend this accomodation. Would also recommend that you visit the Mt Kasuga Primeval forest while in Nara and the many wonderful temples, shrines, and museums. Nara is particularly beautiful during Sakura season

Comfortable and efficiently designed rooms. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Just the perfect place for a brief visit to Nara. And very(!) reasonable priced.

The only minor disappointment was that the guesthouse is located in a rather dull (ugly?) neighborhood of Nara. Facilities are a bit limited: no breakfast service. Then again, the guesthouse does have a small kitchen so you could arrange your own breakfast if you wanted. The Nara park is at walking distance, count on approx 20 minutes.

What a wonderful hostel. We loved everything about this hostel. The music in the reception set the tone. Noriko is so kind and helpful. Beautiful small kitchen, where it is possible to do real cooking, if the takeout from the grocery store at the train station was not so good or convenient. We used the bicycles, which were checked and set up for us by the owner. Really enjoyed biking to the nara site and around the small streets. Thanks 🙏

Easy place to stay near the train station in Nara. The host was very friendly and let us leave our bags before check in while we explored during the day. We were able to hire out a couple of bikes from the accommodation, which made it so much easier to get around Nara. All the main attractions are close by, as well as places to eat. The room was spacious enough for two people and was very clean. Lots of amenities provided and places to sit in the common areas. Thanks again for having us!

If you have inconsiderate noisy neighbours, it can be very loud, especially being woken up at 5am by them as the walls are quite thin. We could also hear them snoring during the night. This isn’t the properties fault, just to note.
