Yoko is the greatest host! She welcomes you with a warm heart, as soon as you arrive she can put you at easy, ready for a laugh and to establish a genuine connection. We spent a memorable evening with her and another guest. The location is central, in a quite area and close to good a bakery and lovely cafés. We spent one night in the twin room, where I could sleep in the most comfortable bed ever. I would definitely go back. Grazie Yoko 🤍

I really enjoyed the traditional Japanese home and space. I also enjoyed the host, Jerome, showing me the garden and allowing me to pick vegetables with him to cook. The place is well stocked with needed amenities, and the host did a great job explaining how it all works. Next time I'm in Japan I will try to come back to Nara just to stay here!

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Nara Guesthouse Kaede is located in Nara. A hot tub is available for guests. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.1 km from Nara Station.

The guesthouse is clean with sophisticated household appliances. It is located near JR station and a supermarket for business, so it is very convenient for travellers to shop and prepare food. And we were surprised to find there were two toilets! We had a chance to meet the house owner, who is a friendly and polite man. He asked for photocopies of our passports. This made us feel a sense of safety as we can tell everything here is carefully managed and comply with regulations. I would strongly recommend foreign visitors to consider staying at this guesthouse instead of hotels. It's a great opportunity to get closer to life in Nara.

Shower and bathroom was pleasant and kept clean.

    You're made to feel welcome as soon as you step through the door. Hiroko and Dane were great hosts and the place provided us with everything we needed, including a nice breakfast. We got a lift to the train station when we were leaving as it was raining - a very nice gesture.

    Great Hostel right at the gate to all the places you want to see in Nara. Also just a really short walk to Kintetsu Nara Station. Rooms are quiet and beds are stable. Clean shower and toilet. Breakfast included and I really like it. One big toast with a topping of choice, delicious salad and a drink.

    Took a last-minute trip to Nara and was lucky to discover this quaint B&B, centrally located near the station and Nara Park. The hosts were very kind and waited for my late arrival, and offered local recommendations along with delicious breakfasts and coffees. The apartment itself is clean, spacious and meticulously designed; felt like having a private home while on vacation. Hope to return.
