We had a little problem during check in as the room was not ready and they couldn’t let us know at what time it would be. In the end we got the room 1 hour later than check in time however the manager went above and beyond to compensate us for it. He was very kind and understanding, and the staff working there too, everyone was very lovely and kind! The room is amazing!!!!! The bathtub in the balcony is big and the room is very big and clean, the facilities are wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay here, we would love to come back to this hotel in a future travel to Japan. I would recommend anyone to skip 1-2 days in Osaka or Kyoto and book this hotel instead of the day trip to Nara. We really appreciated the break from the big cities to relax in this amazing hotel in Nara. The restaurant is also to die for! Everything was delicious!! We would like to thank you all the staff, specially the manager and the chef, for our amazing stay here. Thank you ♥️

The room was absolutely stunning and we really enjoyed the tour of the soy sauce factory, it’s clear there is a great passion and a rich culture in the area, and squeezing our own soy sauce was fun! The staff were so amazing and friendly, even though they didn’t speak much English they went above and beyond to help with translating and making us feel welcome. This was a wonderful experience and a great place to stay.

    Excellent stay, wonderful and friendly hostess, extensive collection of Naruto Manga, very affordable rental of bikes, located centrally near JR Nara line, market, and Nara Park. Accomodation is very clean, and there is amenity for large refrigerator, microwave, and lovely lounge downstairs. Highly recommend this accomodation. Would also recommend that you visit the Mt Kasuga Primeval forest while in Nara and the many wonderful temples, shrines, and museums. Nara is particularly beautiful during Sakura season

    A self-contained room with all the amenities located in a quiet street with a short pleasant walk to Nara Station and all the monuments. It was a great base for day tripping and sightseeing. I liked that you could leave the key at the reception during the day so it wouldn't be lost. The staff were very kind and helpful. The hotel also has a sweet souvenir shop in the lobby where you can buy locally made gifts, which was nice.

    Nara is beautiful.

    Nara is beautiful. There are two UNESCO world heritage sites and lots of deer. If you are afraid of animals, I don't recommend it. The deer will follow you if you have food and they may try to take it from you if you hesitate or don't gently push them away. They are not, as a general rule, aggressive. A lot of tourists freak out and just throw their crackers. Don't do that. Stay calm. The deer don't want to hurt you, they just want a snack. They don't care for being pet either. Just snap your crackers (200 yen sold at different stands) into 3-4 pieces, hold out your hand flat and let them take it from you. Be aware of how many are around you. They will surround and nibble your clothing. I found this hilarious. I grew up with cows and they will pretty much do the same thing. Use your voice and be gentle. The one day bus pass is really useful. I wish I had more time in Nara.

    Tenri is not as well-known as Nara or Asuka, but the area is dotted with dozens of key-hole shaped kofun, ancient burial mounds. Some are accessible and many are how they have been for hundreds of years.

    Nara Koen (park) is a beautiful place.

    Nara Koen (park) is a beautiful place. Todaiji and Kasuga Kaisha is located nearby. The Sarusawa Ike (pond) behind the Nara Park leads to shopping place. One can spend whole day around Nara. - Beware of the deer, they might get a bit aggressive when offering food. - It gets crowded during on-season.

    I love the deer and the ambiance of Nara.

    I love the deer and the ambiance of Nara. Arrive early and expect crowds. As with anything else, the further you walk from the main area, you can stumble across more peaceful and secluded places. I would avoid Nara on the weekend, if possible. Deer can be friendly (and bow politely to ask for a treat) or aggressive (grabbing items out of your bag, biting your clothing, or being over-zealous). Keep your crackers high or out of sight and feel free to walk away from deer that are not vibing.
