Coolest and cheapest place to stay in Nara, Japan
Shower facilities were clean with great water pressure. Towels and toiletries were provided, as well as a free drink. Our beds we're already made for us too which was amazing after a long couple of weeks of backpacking. Keeping our suitcases the next day while we explored was brilliant. All of the staff were kind, the beds were soooo comfy and noise was kept to a minimum.

Location super handy close to JR Nara station. Staff very friendly, free welcome drink at 7pm to get to know other people. Facilities very clean, laundry easy to use, dorm room feels very private with curtain, locker and power supply. Rooftop garden for smokers or to enjoying the warm evenings.
