Lovely place to stay with a very homey feel. We stayed in the Japanese style private room which was VERY comfortable and nice and warm. The hosts were very welcoming and recommended to us a fantastic local okonomiyaki place where we had a generous feed for 400 yen. They even ordered for us so that our meals were cooking by... More

My only regret with staying with this guesthouse is that I only stayed for 1 night. Shunju & Kumiko is a husband & wife team that owns and runs this guesthouse. They are both incredibly friendly. My experience was nothing short of ahhh-mazing. There are only two private rooms here - "A", the larger of the two and "B". I... More

The hostel is absolutely amazing. It is clean, in a nice neighborhood, reasonably priced. The owners live there and are always willing to help and answer questions. The beds have curtains giving you some sort of privacy in the dorm rooms. The hostel only has one shower, but I didnt have any problems using it. So, I cant complain about... More

I stayed 3 nights there. First of all the house is great. You get a real Japanese experience by staying at Naramachi. It is like being at home and have the chance to see how people live. They speak a very good English, which is a blessing in Japan! They are very helpful and will help you to make the... More

Last summer I spent 3 nights in the guesthouse Naramachi. It is a very personal guesthouse, with extremly nice owners. Sometimes you get the possibility to also join local music arrangement or other cultural events. The place itself is very clean and comfortable. I was staying the the mixed dorm (I had a bed with curtain not to be disturbed... More

I really enjoyed staying in this guesthouse, I felt like home. The owners are very welcoming and the private rooms are big especially the one on the ground floor. The decoration is beautiful in this japanese style room which was the room on the previous owner a caligrapher. The main room is ideal to meet other people but it can... More

Stayed there in the mixed dorm for a night at end of December. A little far from the JR station but close to Naramachi area, many attractions nearby. The owners are very nice and kind. We had a good time sitting at the first floor talking with them and other guests. There's only one bathroom so you'd better reserve the... More

Stayed here one night in July. It is a very nice hostel, old japanes style. So there's a lot of wood, and there's an original Japanes room that the host is very willing to show. Don't miss that opportunity as he'll explain a lot about ancient Nara and traditions. The dormitories are pretty small but equipped with Western style beds.... More

A mate and i stayed here for a two nights in May 2011. We had a very large private room to ourselves with only one other person staying in the place. The owners were great people and I very much enjoyed sharing a few stories over some sake with them. I am very much looking forward to staying here again... More
