Reception
Ugaya Guesthouse, Nara
The entrance area at my hostel doubled up as both reception and as a small cafe lounge. It had a cool independent vibe and was a nice surprise - I booked my hostel in Nara only a few days before so I picked here purely because it had all my nights still available. It was a bit quiet when I was there so, being by myself, that wasn't so great, but I think had I been with one or two other people it would have been perfect. The staff were very friendly though and seemed like a cool group.
