Haruya Naramachi Reviews

A lovely traditional Japanese building in a quiet part of Nara. A 15 minute walk to both Nara station and Nara Park.

The place was very well quietly and near by the Nara park.

Incredibly pretty building. Maybe not the most comfortable objectively, but I'd definitely choose it again.

They had everything that was needed for one night. Plus, they had the option to rent, or buy, some extra amenities to make your stay an even more traditional experience. And what was really outstanding compared to other hostels in Japan, was that the other guests were very considerate towards each other! Had a great stay!

Good location between main station and center, it's a very old inn so good atmosphere if you want to stay in a traditional building. Strange smell upon entering, not much option to ventilate as the window faced the main entryway albeit from the second floor. Very good sized individual room (it can fit 3 futons easily) with a low table. Its a self check in but with good instructions in English. All in all recommend!

The sanitary conditions are good. It is right next to Kasuga Taisha Shrine. I feel that if you get up early, you can play better content more easily. And if you get up a little earlier during your stay, you can also take better photos.

Among the guesthouses in the Nara area, some that are renovated old houses may be considered a bit unsuitable for solo travelers. I was assigned to the Annex new building, but it is a new building, but it is too narrow in human terms. There is a toilet and shower room in the new building, but they were too close to the bed so I couldn't use them comfortably.

It has a retro style. I like it very much. It feels like living in Axin in the TV series I watched when I was a child. I will stay there again if I have the chance.

There's nothing wrong with this price. We also serve porridge for breakfast. Other people's reviews mentioned that they were concerned about security, but I think anyone can come in, and the dorms don't have locks. I didn't suffer any theft, but next time I would prepare a key so I could put my valuables in the security box.

It was comfortable! Thank you very much!

It was my first time to self-check in, but it went smoothly! It's an old house built over 100 years ago that has been renovated, so the tatami mats make creaking noises, and the steep stairs are still in use, giving you the feeling of going to your grandma's house in the countryside. . I liked it because it felt a little nostalgic. Yukata, towels, and amenities can be used for a fee. There are many overseas travelers, and you can enjoy socializing with them as you can chat and chat in the common space near the entrance. The room is non-smoking, but is there a courtyard? There was a smoking area in a place like this. Both Nara Station and Kintetsu Nara Station are within a 15-minute walk. The bus stop is also nearby, so access to Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine was smooth! It is located in a residential area, so there are few people walking around late at night, giving it a quiet impression.

I stayed here without meals. I'm glad I was able to stay in an old folk house. As other customers have pointed out, I think they could make it a little cleaner with more effort. It's fine because it's an old folk house, but I don't think it's an old folk house just because it feels unclean.

It's a very nice Japanese style accommodation. The people are friendly. Impressive service. Wi-Fi is still not very good.

The space is large, the bathroom is separated, there are long hairs in the bathtub (more than one hair), and there is a charge for spare parts, generally not bad
