It's close to Nara Station and the location is great. There are many delicious restaurants around. Nara Park is also close by and it's in a perfect location. I came to Nara because Osaka hotel prices are too expensive on weekends, but it was my first time using a shared room and it was quiet and worth a try.
Located a bit west of Nara, the Chinese owner is very welcoming and easy to communicate with. They also offer bike rentals, and the prices are very affordable. Overall, it's a pretty good option.
Nice and chill reception. Really feels cozy and informal. Room was clean and simple, tatami mat floor and futon, very comfortable. The warming blanket was amazing! Toilet was super clean, which was such a relief. Very quiet neighbourhood. Close to buss tops and a giant bookshop/starbucks.
Although the history of the homestay is a bit old, the supporting infrastructure is not bad. It is a very charming Japanese tatami accommodation. It is good to experience it for one night. You need to buy towels, toothbrushes and other things in the hotel by yourself. They provide them here. It seems to be about 100 yen (I forgot the exact price). In addition, the light in the room I stayed in needs to be pressed for a long time, otherwise the light cannot be turned on. (Room number is 213or203) I don’t know how the quilt is laid. The liner will run out of the sheets, and it is a bit dirty, and the blood stains are not cleaned. It seems that the luggage can only be placed downstairs? Because shoes are not allowed to be worn upstairs, which is not very convenient. The shower and toilet are on the first floor. There is a sink on the second floor
This place was so cute and excellent. Staff didn't speak much English, but we were able to communicate easily enough. Room was Japanese Ryokan style. Tatami mats, low table. It had everything needed, shower and toilet in the room too. There is also an onsen that you can reserve for your private use. I asked for a time later at night and they still had one spot available. If you can't get a time then it is ”public use” after 22:00, which seems to mean that you might need to share if others want to join. Location was very good, right in the middle of the historic part of town and a short walk (<5 min) to Nara park to see the deer. Hotel was very nice and clean. I was here in late December and the air conditioning heater in the room was very good too.
The location is right in the shopping street and also at the Kintetsu exit, it is only 15 minutes to go to the park. The staff is warm and courteous, the hot springs are fine but quiet enough. The hotel is old but tidy, there is no daily necessities except old towels, including a blow dryer in the hot spring area, and there is nothing towels lock. Of course, this price can't be too much, remember this is a hotel. I was impressed by the invincible location and courteous staff, I can't say whether I like it or not.
Behind Kofuku-ji Temple, the location is very good, you can see Sarusawa Pond from the window, and there are deer downstairs
Service: The owner is an elderly Japanese couple, very kind, and gave the children a deer souvenir
Facilities: The bathroom is a bit small, and children may bump into things when using the toilet
Lovely Japanese style in with a great location near Nara park. Owner spoke good English and was very kind and helpful. Room was clean and stuff like towels and a toothbrush were provided. The Onsen is open from 17:00 to 23:00 and was a great experience. Can’t recommend this place enough.
Very good homestay. It was already around 10 o'clock in the evening. Although it was very late, the aunt came out very enthusiastically to check in for me. You can also smoke indoors. The room is large and the facilities are all available, as well as a TV and bathtub. If you come to Nara Tianli, this is the best choice for staying. I highly recommend everyone to stay here!

Very Good
AAnonymous UserGood location, facilities and amenities. The room was a bit cramped for 2 people with 2 medium luggage, but if you travel light it was a nice hotel for short stays 👍

GGuest UserThe service is very good Japanese-style hotel, the hotel owner will drive to Yoshinoya to pick up and drop off guests. The hotel is very clean and the shoes at the door are always neatly placed. The Japanese-style room is clean and tidy, and the balcony window is a cherry tree. Dinner and breakfast are very rich. Every staff member is smiling and polite. Traditional Japanese style bathing style, indoors and outdoors. There are also free massage chairs in the public area.
BBelle TseI have been to Nara several times and I try a different hotel every time.
Having stayed here, I think I will stay here again when I come to Nara in the future.
As others said, there were deer outside the door in the morning, and the guy at the front desk spoke very good English.
As for parking service, you can rent it from the grocery store opposite
GGuest UserI used it on a solo trip.
As in the reviews of other people, the staff really polite and comfortable. Thank you very much.
The size of the private room is enough to sleep. The bedding was clean. However, since it is all made of wood, it may be better not to put delicate materials directly.
The bathroom and shower room were very clean and easy to use.
I would like to use it again when I go to Tenri (Nara). Thank you very much.

GGabby1109Located in a quiet quaint neighborhood. It was storming so I didn't get an opponent to enjoy the river and it's surrounding which the accommodation was just next to. But the spacious room came as a joy but unfortunately the beddings were not comfortable. Could feel the bed springs and the pillow overly soft. Wished that they provided tatami beddings instead.
Check in details were not provided via booking on trip.com but thankfully could easily contact the owner via WhatsApp. Overall still a great experience.
33MsOur challenge was with the language .. fortunately the hotel has staffs that speaks English and/or Mandarin. They became our translators and guided us the way to go about the area especially with the public transport and Mt Shigi. Very friendly and courteous staffs, a true experience of the Japanese culture and tradition. Our gratitude to Shigisan Kanko Hotel staffs 🙏.👍..
