Nara for the Win!

The major "must-see" cites are within walking distance (Nara Park and Todaiji-temple). The staff was super friendly and accommodating. As of Nov. 2016 they have been open for 1 month - rooms are super clean and the share space isn't a great way to meet travelers. If you have 1-2 possibly 3 people I would stay but bed space is limited. That being said the beds are very comfortable. I'll be going back for sure!

Safed by the manager’s quick action.

I’ve had a couple of issues with my bed the first night I stayed there. My body and face were covered in mosquito bites. I woke up and wanted to find someone to hand me a spray but was unable to. I mentioned it next morning being quiet sick from all the bites. Management moved me immediately into a different area and the following night was much better. I really appreciated the manager’s help. Breakfast is excellent. Price incredible value for money. I would stay there again

El staff excepcional, súper amables. El hostel es tradicionalmente japonés, con un excelente restaurante. Cuenta con restaurante, hay que degustar el sake en tres presentaciones, sublime. El desayuno delicioso, aunque fuera con cargo. Muy cerca del parque de Nara y todos los atractivos del lugar. Limpio, agradable lugar. Muy recomendable.

잘못된 숙소 선택

밤12시에 도착을 했뎌니 계산기를 들이밀며 2000¥을 더 내라고 했다 벌금이란다 난 벌금에 대해 알지 못했고 처음 듣는 소리라고 말 했다 그러자 이 여자는 눈을 이상하게 치껴뜨며 일본어로 계속 욕설을 해됬다 그러면서 경찰에 신고 중이며 in or out 라며 2000¥을 내 놓지 않으면 나가라는 식으로 나를 몰아세웠다 결국 돈을 지붏했고 그래도 마지막에 늦게 와서 미안하다고 하자 눈을 흘기며 욕을 하는 듯 했댜 결국 난 그 충격으로 새벽 4시 쯤에 얕은 잠을 겨우 잤다 일본 여행하면 이 일이 가장 먼저 생각이 나니 내가 왜 이런곳을 선택을 했는지 뼈저리게 후회스럽다
