Hard to get to without good transit options if you have luggage. House is fairly old and there was a smell in the room.
Overall, it was okay.

Safed by the manager’s quick action.
I’ve had a couple of issues with my bed the first night I stayed there. My body and face were covered in mosquito bites. I woke up and wanted to find someone to hand me a spray but was unable to. I mentioned it next morning being quiet sick from all the bites. Management moved me immediately into a different area and the following night was much better.
I really appreciated the manager’s help.
Breakfast is excellent. Price incredible value for money. I would stay there again
Twice as comfortable as a the corporate hotel we stayed at for well under half the price! Really helpful staff with good English. Great location near the park with bicycles to hire for a small charge.
This is my go-to guesthouse in Nara. Close to the park, great facillties like a cafe and bar. Vegan and organic options are available. Not a hangout. It's compact but confortable.
A very welcoming guest house with lovely staff . The room was large and warm .Wifi very good .Good location for Nara Park . Didn’t try the food but smelt very nice
My stay was fantastic! Akie was incredibly welcoming and warm. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. I was able to get a quick bite from their menu in between touring the city and taking a quick rest back at the guest house. It was a short walk to Nara Park and main shopping/food areas. I definitely recommend this spot for anyone one traveling solo through Nara.
Great location, comfort dorm with plenty of room in common areas and even a full kitchen. Plus an on site cafe and bar! The staff speak English and Japanese. My new favourite in Nara.
I had encountered some trouble that I'm not gonna detail here but the staff was immensely helpful and very kind. The hostel is cute and comfortable enough, if a bit small. The bar/restaurant is great. The location is not amazing, it's quite far from the station, although it is close to the park. Towels were not free, as opposed to what is mentioned on the page.
We really enjoyed our stay! We enjoyed staying in the traditional Japanese double room and the staff were very friendly and welcoming! Very sweet and beautifully designed little guesthouse! Perfect location to visit Nara only 5 minutes away from the park! Would definately stay here again!
Booked for one night, wish I could have stayed here in Nara longer
Staff were super nice and friendly
Room was spacious, and facilities including food and drinks on site very good
The major "must-see" cites are within walking distance (Nara Park and Todaiji-temple). The staff was super friendly and accommodating. As of Nov. 2016 they have been open for 1 month - rooms are super clean and the share space isn't a great way to meet travelers. If you have 1-2 possibly 3 people I would stay but bed space is limited. That being said the beds are very comfortable. I'll be going back for sure!
