Guesthouse Tamura Reviews

The owner is very kind and helpful and enjoys talking to her guests. The guesthouse is located very close to the historical park and just a step away from the temples area in Nara. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast (300 yen) for the flavours and presentation

Loved my stay at guesthouse Tamura. Host Junko was very nice. The dorms are 4 beds so not too crowded. The japanese breakfast was excellent. And it had one of the first showers in Japan that allowed me to stand up straight. 20 min walk from the JR station, 10 to the Kintetsu station. But right below the Nara Park area where all the temples and deer are.

We had a wonderful stay at Tamura Guesthouse. The house, staff and location are simply fantastic!!!

Everything was excellent. Lovely Japanese breakfast included for only 300 yen.

Nice little common area to chat with other guests, good facilities, tasty Japanese breakfast and very helpful owner. It is also near the park with the giant Buddha. By Japanese standards it is definitely good value for money.

The owners are very nice. I felt like at home in Guesthouse Tamura . High recommended

the owner is very friendly and kindness , the place is also nice feel like home relax and quiet i love and for people who love such relax place , quiet place recommend :)

Overall great. Perfect location to the park and amazing breakfast.

the best hostel I ve stayed in Japan. A little bit difficult but an old japanese man helped me ( japanese people are very nice). just follow the sign Nara Hotel in a small street. the house is perfect: don t need to carry your heavy luggage to the 2nd floor, there is just one floor. Free tea or coffee with good sweet small chocolate. in the morning there was free fruits. orange. the onwer does all in her power to make your stay a great experience!

I spent three nights at Guesthouse Tamura and thoroughly enjoyed it - the place really felt like home, the breakfast was wonderful and staff extremely helpful and friendly. As a result I probably spent more time at the guesthouse than I expected rather than sightseeing - chatting to the owner and other guests. But then travelling is as much (or more) about meeting people as about visiting places!

The Tamura was the most authentic hostel we stayed in in our entire Japan holiday. You are essentially staying in someone's home. There is a curfew, which I have never experienced before, but it had no impact as Nara is a city that sleeps!

Excellent accommodation for the traveling group, couple, or lone traveler! Hospitality is wonderful, the breakfast is delicious and traditional, and the stay is most comfortable. We truly enjoyed our time at Tamura!

Lovely homely place, the owner (apologies as I have forgotten her name) was very kind and even drove me to Nara station as there were no taxis available. Nice calm place, only problem is walking in the cold outside between the bedroom and main house where the shower is. Could be a little warmer in the general areas. Apart from that a great place with nice relaxing feel. Excellent location 3 mins walk from the park with the deer and temples.

The hostel is excellent, very comfortable and the owners show great generosity and are very helpful and friendly. The only improvement would be in the directions to the hostel with information on how to get there by bus from the train stations.

A very humble experience. Wonderful hostel with charm. Very clean and cosy and the in the perfect location to sight see around beautiful Nara. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay in Tamura Guesthouse. They had a nice lounge/coffeeroom where you could get to know other guests. The couple, which runs the guesthouse, was very helpful and spend some time with the guests on the lounge. The served some tradiotional dishes during the New Year, when we stayed there. Nara is very compact town and Tamura Guesthouse is located close to everything. I highly recommend this place for everyone.

i have stayedin Tamura for 5 nights. It's a very Japanese style one with very quiet and decent surounding .If some one wanna have experience of such ,Tamura is the one for you. It's clean beds ,also clean & comfortable toilet , very good japanese breakfast and helpful guide to local sightseeing sites for new comers make you live like at home.

Strange location of the common room with the family, but at the end it was nice...
