Everything was perfect!! Both hosts were super nice and welcoming :D They also recommended a lovely izakaya to have dinner! Breakfast was amazing, and the view from the living room was great! They also decorated the guesthouse for Halloween, which was cute! :) We would love to stay here again! :D

My favorite place to stay when visiting one of my favorite places in Japan is Guesthouse Tamura. I could stop at location, location, location because that is what most people look for when making a booking. Guesthouse Tamura is located in a jewel of a location; nearly every main attraction is within a short walk. But we enjoyed Gueshouse Tamura because of the excellent and friendly staff who go over the top to provide a relaxing getaway, truly a 10 out of 10 in all aspects of our stay.

The house was spotless, and very comfortable. It was located in a convenient place, very close to the station. All the beds were comfortable, and the facilities were great. The staff came to pick us up from the train station and drove us directly to the house. Such lovely people!

    The place was well located, close to Nara park and the train station but tucked away on a quiet street. The beds were huge and comfortable, very clean and it felt like home. I only stayed one night but wish I stayed longer. Yoko is one of the warmest and friendliest hosts I’ve had, she shared stories with me about her experiences owning a guest house, she made everyone feel very welcome, and she shared her tofu with me in the morning. My most wholesome stay in Japan by far.

    Yoko the owner is the best! She welcomed me so warmly with tea and a snack and introduced me to all the guest! She gave me a small tour and really made me feel welcome. The guesthouse is really beautiful traditional style with really comfortable beds with spacious rooms. The guesthouse is also in a great location, but at the same time quiet and peaceful, it's a shame I could only stay one night. I look forward to staying here again one day. Thank you Yoko! - Andrew

    Very well located next to the park. Quiet and small garden all around the house. Our host was very attentionnate. Excellent japanese breakfast. Very cheap for sleeping in a very nice neighborhood. Free bikes. We loved cycling around the small old streets of Naramachi, which is as nice as old Kyoto and lest touristic.

    We loved the tatami room and the futons were very comfortable. The guest house was in a great location, on a quiet street but within walking distance of all the major sites and shopping areas. The breakfast was delicious and great value.

    A very charming guesthouse, ideally located 5min walk from the JR station (Kyobate). From Nara station, it takes around 20min walk to get there. The host was amazing, so helpful and nice, giving his advice on the places to go out for dinner, public baths, etc. He helped us to send our luggage to our next step location, and we are so grateful he did. Thank you so much for this great stay, we strongly recommend this place to stay ! :)

    An exceptionally clean and well-kept guesthouse in a quiet street with some shops and restaurants, still within walking distance of the park, city centre and the railway stations. There is a shared common space with TV, microwave oven, refrigerator and free coffee and tea as well as various information brochures about Nara in several languages. The owner takes care of the house herself and is incredibly nice and helpful. I enjoyed my stay here a lot!
