Guesthouse japonaise traditionnelle et confortable

Un couple de japonais tient cette guesthouse depuis une dizaine d’années. Très bonne organisation et accueil chaleureux. Cette ancienne maison de calligraphie centenaire a été réaménagée en logement traditionnel japonais. Les chambres sont très soignées et confortables. Les futons posés à même le tatami font office de lits, comme le veut la tradition japonaise. Cela peut surprendre mais on y dort très bien. La maison est très bien située, au cœur des petites ruelles de Nara. Le propriétaire propose des locations de vélos, ce qui est très pratique. Je recommande vivement !

Ihana majoitus

Vanha tunnelmallinen talo kävelymatkan päässä juna asemalta, jota pyörittää mitä ystävällisin vanha pariskunta. Majoitus yksityishuoneissa on perinteisillä futoneilla, tunnelmallisissa huoneissa. Suihkut ja vessat ovat jaetut, ja suihkujen käytölle on tietyt ajat, mutta ruuhkaa niihin ei tule missään vaiheessa. Talo on upea!

I loved being there and it felt like family.

You need to be aware of other people. That´s it, just like you would do at home :) They helped us in all they could and were truly interested in sharing with us. If you decide to go, share with them your plans and things you would like to do, they know a lot of people and can point you in the right direction. Would definitely go again!!!

Review of Guesthouse Naramachi The introduction and tour by the proprietor as well as the officious explanation of the myriad of strict rules might leave you feeling you have just landed on a prison farm. He may ask for your passport four times if you do not hand it over within ten seconds. The piano music, which plays until 11PM, (doors locked at 10) might be flattered to be described as sappy and is on a perpetual repeat cycle. If you want an early night it isn’t possible. A good pair of ear plugs is strongly recommended - the sound barriers between the rooms are less than paper thin. All paths from bathroom to bedroom pass through the only living area which is charming. There are only two bathrooms and two showers, insufficient for the number of guests. The stairs to the sleeping rooms are steeper and longer than most temples so bring climbing slippers bigger than size 8 men’s – the proprietor will insist you wear them. If you are anywhere close to six feet tall you may want a hard hat – there are low ceilings in some areas. After you have stripped your bed (rule 62) in the morning, the wife (or helper) of the proprietor will ask you to account for your bedding and towels as though you might slip them into your luggage. Towels will cost you extra. Otherwise a great place to stay.
