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. The staff were amazingly kind, friendly, and generous. They went out of their way to make sure I had an excellent experience and not only in Nara but in Japan in general. They are true ambassadors of Japan. I will definitely visit again if I am ever back to Nara- japan .

Every single dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The peaceful riverside setting and cozy interior made it feel like a hidden gem.
