Very cozy hostel with everything you need located in a quiet area but not far off from the city centre. The host is also welcoming and has great recommendations. Definitely an awesome hostel to come in contact with other travellers and enjoy Osaka. 10/10 would come back.

It was very nice. We arrived late and the host was very nice. He leaves a letter with a printed paper with all the explanations in your prefered language (English for us) I found that is very cute.

All hostels in Nara

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Very cheap price for a double bed room with a private bathroom - check in and check out are extremely no-fuss, you just walk in and out. Room was actually bigger than the last budget hotel we stayed at. Very short walk from the station, great food places within walking distance too.

I don’t think I have ever rated a property as perfect, but this was one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. It is immaculately clean, and well located only minutes walking from Nara Station and Nara Park. Hiro-San and his family are the most generous hostel hosts I have ever encountered. They will go out of their way to help you! Thank you so much for my stay here!! Ben (the Kokogakusha!)

The location was ideal to walk to Nara park, and the husband and wife owners (I'm terrible with names 😅) were incredibly warming and open when I arrived, and helped to call a restaurant when I needed to check my booking. My room was lovely, and this is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in!

It was clean, really really nice for such a cheap hostel, pretty good location (right in the middle of sightseeing locations but not too far from the station).
