Hostels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

A good youth hostel. I suggest that the front desk hours be extended and bicycle service be added. Because there are only 4 car rental services in front of Tenri Station, you won’t be able to grab one.

This was my first time staying in this type of accommodation in Japan. I stayed for five nights. On the first day, I smelled a cold odor as soon as I entered the room. On the second day, I woke up with a sore throat and realized I had caught a cold. On the third day, I found that two staff members had severe colds, coughing and having runny noses. They weren't wearing masks, and the rooms weren't well-ventilated. I had to ask them to open the windows every day. I was disappointed that the staff didn't seem to care about keeping the air fresh. Towels were available for an extra charge. The location was very convenient.

Very clean. Staff speak both English and Japanese and are very friendly and helpful. The guesthouse is within walking distance of both Nara Station about 10 minutes and Nara Park about 10 minutes but in the other direction. Would definitely recommend a stay.
