+Our family of four had the Guesthouse to ourselves while staying in Nara and we can honestly say it was the best place we stayed in Japan. The place is huge, with multiple bedding options, including traditional and Western, and having multiple bathrooms and toilets was a real blessing. The location is amazing, in the heart of Nara, near food, shopping, train stations, bus stops and only a short walk from the dear park. Having so much room to organise our luggage and food was amazing. We would love to visit Nara again with our family, and would definitely love to stay at Nara Guesthouse again.

“Nearly perfect”
+Loved the location. Easy to find. Very spacious. Was missing a blind for the from window. That made it a little hard to walk around in the room without being exposed to the exterior. Kitchen was nice. Rooms were great
−Needs blinds on front window by couch.

“A Wonderful Spot in the City!”
+This location is perfect if you are traveling to Nara and want to be close to everything! You are only a stone's throw away from the train station and the street outside your door will get you to Nara Park and most of the main temples/shrines. The property is right in the middle of lots of shopping and you even have a ramen shop downstairs! Location was a 10/10 all around. Not to mention that this host has really thought of everything. Extra maps of the area were at our fingertips, cups and pans in the kitchen, and they even left a bike key that I'm assuming went to the bike right outside the front door. I can see how this would be a perfect accommodation for any group of people traveling together as there were two separate toilets and showers and plenty of chairs/communal space to relax.
−The only drawback I could foresee is that the guesthouse is located in a 3 story building with shops and it gets locked up at night for safety, making entering or leaving past a certain time a bit of an obstacle. We weren't staying out late though so it really didn't effect our stay.

“Super convenient guesthouse in central Nara.”
+It's an interesting setup - appears to be a small hostel that is sometimes rented out in its entirety. Worked great for our small group of six. Super central to downtown Nara, the park/temples/shrines are easily walkable. Thought parking might be a pain as we had a van but found a good lot two blocks south. Lots of great food options around including a good local ramen place just downstairs. Rooms were comfortable, shared bathrooms/showers were clean. Washer & dryer was very appreciated.

“泊まりの同窓会に最高でした”
+14人という大人数で泊まれるところを探していたところ、貸し切りにできました。共有スペースが広く，テーブルも大きいので全員でおしゃべりできます。寝室もゆったり。和室、ベッド、2段ベッドとタイプも違うので、それぞれの希望に合う部屋割りができました。食器、冷蔵庫、エアコン、シャワー、水回りなど、設備も快適。チェックイン前後の荷物預かりや、早めのチェックインなど、柔軟に対応していただけ、助かりました。駅に近く店も多いので便利。でも夜は静かです。質問などの対応も素早かったです。
−良くないわけではないのですが、足が悪い人がいたので、寝室やトイレに行く時の段差に介助が必要でした。エレベーター、玄関などバリアフリーなのですが、室内の段差はちょっと高かったです。事前にお伝えしていたら何か対応いただけたのかもしれません。

“素晴らしい、快適に過ごせました！”
+奈良公園の近くにあり、歩いて興福寺入り口まですぐに行けること、また商店街にも近く、急な買い物や食事に困りませんでしたので立地がとても良かったです。商店街の中にあるにも関わらず、お部屋は静かで快適に過ごせました。貸切なので気兼ねなく使用できました。洗濯機、乾燥機も無料で使えるので、夏の暑い時期に汗をかいて何枚も着替えたので、大変便利でした。洗濯洗剤もありました。ありとあらゆる必要なものが揃っていて、助かりました。畳の上のお布団(ベッド)もすっかり疲れがとれて気持ちよかったです。ありがとうございました。
−テレビがなかったので、旅行中に見たい番組が見られなかったことと、シャワールームだけでしたので、しっかり湯船に浸かりたかった気持ちが残りました。また、シャワーの温度と水圧が不安定で、温度調節が難しく、夏でしたので冷たいシャワーでもある程度我慢できましたが、そこが残念でした。
