Guesthouse Naramachi

The owner and staff were amazing…so sad we were there only for one night for a music show. Gracious and amazing

ならまちの近くで、観光に便利、リーズナブルなのに部屋があてがわれる。そして近くに２４時までやっている数軒の銭湯があり、そこにサウナがあるのがすばらしい。ホストの方が親切でアットホームである。

El anfitrión super amable , me explico y me dio el recorrido es pequeño pero muy hogareño recomendado si te quieres sentir como un japonés en su casa

Notre séjour a été très agréable ; les gérants de la guesthouse étaient très prévoyants surtout qu’ils nous ont aidé à modifier et planifier la suite de notre séjour au japon à cause du passage du super typhon hagibis. Très gentils et attentionnés !

We loved the old house.Having to pay for towels was a bit akward. The host was nice but the house rules presentation was heavy during check in

由奈良車站就有環線公車可直達民宿，班次也多，同時也可達重要景點。附近的巷弄隨處就可看到很美的古老房舍。

パーキングは近所のコインパーキングでした。

充滿傳統日式住宅的民宿，很棒。

Un couple de japonais tient cette guesthouse depuis une dizaine d’années. Très bonne organisation et accueil chaleureux. Cette ancienne maison de calligraphie centenaire a été réaménagée en logement traditionnel japonais. Les chambres sont très soignées et confortables. Les futons posés à même le tatami font office de lits, comme le veut la tradition japonaise. Cela peut surprendre mais on y dort très bien. La maison est très bien située, au cœur des petites ruelles de Nara. Le propriétaire propose des locations de vélos, ce qui est très pratique. Je recommande vivement !

Guesthouse très agréable! Très traditionnelle tout en disposant de tout le confort nécessaire. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et à l’écoute. Je recommande vivement!

Mr et Mme Kanzai sont des hôtes extraordinaires et généreux. Mon séjour chez eux et dans le quartier Naramachi sont mes coups de cœur du Japon.

Leider war eine Baustelle gleich nebenan!

Wonderful place to stay in Nara, a beautiful traditional Japanese house, quiet, nice neighborhood, about 10-15 minutes walk to shopping and restaurant area, but we don’t mind the walk through the peaceful and beautiful alleys.

Vanha tunnelmallinen talo kävelymatkan päässä juna asemalta, jota pyörittää mitä ystävällisin vanha pariskunta. Majoitus yksityishuoneissa on perinteisillä futoneilla, tunnelmallisissa huoneissa. Suihkut ja vessat ovat jaetut, ja suihkujen käytölle on tietyt ajat, mutta ruuhkaa niihin ei tule missään vaiheessa. Talo on upea!

民宿这一对认真生活、充满爱的老夫妻最值得怀念！

You need to be aware of other people. That´s it, just like you would do at home :) They helped us in all they could and were truly interested in sharing with us. If you decide to go, share with them your plans and things you would like to do, they know a lot of people and can point you in the right direction. Would definitely go again!!!

Clean place and warm people, I would totally stay there again. Kumiko and Shinju really make you feel home.

Review of Guesthouse Naramachi The introduction and tour by the proprietor as well as the officious explanation of the myriad of strict rules might leave you feeling you have just landed on a prison farm. He may ask for your passport four times if you do not hand it over within ten seconds. The piano music, which plays until 11PM, (doors locked at 10) might be flattered to be described as sappy and is on a perpetual repeat cycle. If you want an early night it isn’t possible. A good pair of ear plugs is strongly recommended - the sound barriers between the rooms are less than paper thin. All paths from bathroom to bedroom pass through the only living area which is charming. There are only two bathrooms and two showers, insufficient for the number of guests. The stairs to the sleeping rooms are steeper and longer than most temples so bring climbing slippers bigger than size 8 men’s – the proprietor will insist you wear them. If you are anywhere close to six feet tall you may want a hard hat – there are low ceilings in some areas. After you have stripped your bed (rule 62) in the morning, the wife (or helper) of the proprietor will ask you to account for your bedding and towels as though you might slip them into your luggage. Towels will cost you extra. Otherwise a great place to stay.

very well organized, clean, comfort, best guesthouse I have been. Alomost 100 years buiding is renovated and become the good hostel equped with modern conveniency by the owner. I made a mistake with my booking but the owner showed generous with smile. I will come again if i have a chance to visit Nara again. Do book this hostel !

I needed a bus to get there from the train station.
