ゲストハウス奈良庵 Nara An, a property with a shared lounge, is situated in Nara, 5.9 km from Nara Station, 13 km from Iwafune Shrine, as well as 17 km from Nippon Christ Kyodan Shijonawate Church. Boasting a concierge service, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. If we could give Hariko (a Nara native) and Dane (from Washington State) a 100 ⭐s we would! Great location within a 10 minute walk to the train station that will connect you to many wonderful places. The accommodations are comfortable and public spaces inviting. Be sure to include breakfast - while a continental breakfast is available the traditional Japanese (our choice) was tasty and filling.

The guest house features a flat-screen TV. The kitchenette comes with an oven, a microwave and a toaster and there is a shared bathroom with slippers and a hair dryer. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service. A wonderful place with amazing hosts. They cared for me like a member of their own family—kind, helpful, and attentive. The house and garden were beautiful, set in a quiet countryside village far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The atmosphere was peaceful and truly special. Staying there was a beautiful experience and a glimpse of Japan you won’t find in big cities.

Offering inner courtyard views, SLOW HOUSE NARA is an accommodation located in Nara, 1.3 km from Nara Station and 19 km from Iwafune Shrine. The 2-star guest house has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms. Slow House was exactly what we needed for a relaxing time in Nara. Time to slow the pace of our journey a but and take it easy. Hiro-san and the team are very welcoming and helpful. The facilities are super clean and lovely throughout including a handy kitchen in the communal area. The room is one of the largest I’ve stayed in in Japanese hotels to date. Very much appreciated and just a 7-10 minute walk from the Kintetsu Nara train station. Wonderful! ありがとうございました🙇🏼‍♂️✨

Offering a garden and garden view, Guesthouse Tamura is situated in Nara, 1.7 km from Nara Station and 19 km from Iwafune Shrine. It is located 22 km from Higashiosaka Hanazono Rugby Stadium and features luggage storage space. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge. This is not a typical hostel where there are lots of people living in the same room with a chill vibe, but I like this hostel a lot. Located in the residential area (pretty close to many tourist attractions though), this hostel is adapted from a single-family-detached-home and is run by the Tamura family. The host was a welcoming lady who showed the facilities in detailed once I arrived at the place. In my room (mixed dorm), there're only 4 bunks and 2 of them are empty during my one night stay so it's really great. The bed is cozy, the facilities are good to use and free(like slippers, toothbrush set, towels, water & barley tea etc.) There're two shower room (and one of them is traditional japanese style bathtub. The host prepared warm water for us to use in advance. Not a lot to say but I love the tranquil vibe of the hostel itself as well as the surroundings. If I will revisit Nara again, I'll come here again.
