A wonderful wonderful guest house. The female dorm was really clean and beautiful, and great value for money. The staff were so kind at check-in and also breakfast time/check out. I really want to go back soon. A really great surprise was the breakfast: it was freshly cooked and such good value for money! I really recommend! It was a great way to start my day before visiting Nara Park and hiking around the Primeval Forest.

This was by far my favourite stay of my Japan trip. Not only was the guest house absolutely stunning and tastefully furnished, within very close proximity to the deer park, I was welcomed so warmly and it really felt like home for the night I was there. This is more than just a guest house- this is a beautiful place to bring people from all around the world together.

What an incredibly special stay, and Noriko and her mother were amazing hosts. They were so welcoming and we appreciated all the special touches they added to this place. The traditional house is perfect - we loved it and were excited when we got home to spend more time in it! The morning prayer and breakfast is a beautiful memory we have, thank you!

I was very fortunate that there were no other guests staying in the house and I had the whole space to myself, very spacious and comfortable, and the hostess Kyoko was so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place, close to Nara Deer Park.

A typical Japanese house inside a maze of streets filled with shops, bars and restaurants. All the important sights of Nara can be comfortably reached on foot. The house was spacious and had everything you might need for a memorable stay including efficient AC units during the hot summer. Although there were only two of us the house will comfortably sleep up to six people. Two showers and toilets.

Nara Guesthouse was very accommodating to us and our needs. When we needed to drop off our luggage a bit earlier in the morning, they allowed us to! The space is also very large and I would totally recommend booking out the entire guesthouse for larger groups. I loved how the location was so close to everything you can imagine.

Everything was perfect. The checkin, luggage storage, route suggestion from the staff, great selection of champus and conditioners, free tea, coffee and a microwave - all available in the common area. Extremely clean and comfortable beds. Great showers! And I paid very little for the amount of luxury I got - thank you!
