Boasting a concierge service, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. If we could give Hariko (a Nara native) and Dane (from Washington State) a 100 ⭐s we would! Great location within a 10 minute walk to the train station that will connect you to many wonderful places. The accommodations are comfortable and public spaces inviting. Be sure to include breakfast - while a continental breakfast is available the traditional Japanese (our choice) was tasty and filling.

Traditional Stay in Nara – Guesthouse Tamara is a Hidden Gem! I had the most incredible stay at Guesthouse Tamara during my one night in Nara. This beautiful traditional Japanese house truly immerses you in an authentic experience, making it a highlight of my trip. The host was the sweetest person, incredibly kind and welcoming. She went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay, offering free amenities like mineral water, tea, and even heating pads—perfect for chilly nights. The rooms were immaculately clean, cozy, and had a warm, traditional ambiance. One of the standout features was the traditional Japanese bath, which was such a relaxing and memorable experience. Breakfast was available for an additional cost, and it was absolutely worth it! If you’re visiting Nara and want to experience true Japanese hospitality in a serene setting, I highly recommend Guesthouse Tamara. I only wish I had stayed longer!
