Hilo Hostel is located in Nara, within less than 1 km of Nara Station and 18 km of Iwafune Shrine. Featuring a shared lounge, this 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi. I enjoyed my stay so much! The Japanese staff were amazing and kind and so helpful! He carried my suitcase up to the 3rd floor when I checked in and insisted on carrying it back down when I checked out. The hostel was so clean and the kitchen was equipped perfectly to cook a nice meal. I really loved staying at this hostel. Thank you to the really kind, amazing staff that made this stay really pleasant. Also a perfect location! Right in the town centre and a 30second walk to the station!

Ken is such a wonderful host, the area is beautiful with some great restaurants, somewhat off the beaten track and therefore very much for the locals! The kotatsu (heated table) was a joy in cold weather, and this was a nice place to meet other travellers while travelling solo

Located in Nagaoka, 15 km from Hikone Castle, Guesthouse Izame Ann provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar. The property is set 6.3 km from Green Park Santo, 7.3 km from Maibara Station and 18 km from Taga-taisha Shrine. Site Of Reversible Destiny Yoro Park is 33 km from the hostel and Yoro Land is 33 km away. Well worth the effort to travel to experience a lovely ryokan, it's host and the town. I paid for dinner and I'm SO glad I did. It was a highlight of my stay and in deed a highlight of my 5 week trip in Japan. You sit in a sunken seating area and watch the ryokan owner/cook prepare what felt like a large number of individual dishes. The food was absolutely delicious. I was concerned about hearing other guests because, being an older house, the walls are thin - but the night I was there all the guests were respectfully quiet. I had a view over the "river" which may be a mis-nomer - but it is a peaceful stream running through the pretty street. I highly recommend a visit.
