I like the early check-in and late check-out as compared to other hotels. Also, the room was considerably larger than similarly priced hotel rooms in Japan. Very clean. There were also 2 sets of pillows (2x hard, 2x soft) which I really appreciate since I prefer the soft/low volume pillows.

I spent two very pleasant nights at this hotel. Accommodations were great, staff was extremely polite and willing to help at all times. The comfort starts at the moment you take your shoes off at the lobby entrance. The breakfast includes a full variety of high quality options to pick. Free ice cream is available in the afternoon until midnight, a nice snack that goes along with the relaxing bath after walking all day. A late night snack is also offered at the restaurant after 9pm. I am happy I decided to stay for more than one night, it gives you the time to visit Nara and also enjoy the benefits of booking the stay at an onsen.

Staff are nice. There's that lady who speaks good english and explains everything. I'm sorry I was not able to take note of her name but I guess she handles guest concern/questions since the place is also a Visitor center. If I did not stay in this place, I would not have known about Sahogawa River which I consider the best experience since it was Sakura season, the river piles up cherry trees like (I think) around 5km. It was a great experience since it was not crowded unlike the other places known for Sakura. They offer so many activities which I was not able to take advantage of due to time constraint. I was in a large room with tatami. To find the place, once you reach the pond, just go around it and you will find the place.

What Guests Said About Nara:

  • 10.0

    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.

    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.

    This is a beautiful, small city with wonderful restaurants, beautiful parks (filled with Nara's famous deer), a fascinating history and many sites of historical, architectural and religious significance - our only regret was the length of our stay, as two or three more nights would have been better as there is so much to see!

    Nara was a great place for me since it has marvel buildings...

    Nara was a great place for me since it has marvel buildings preserved from Tang dynasty of China, it has a such warm and relaxed environment. We stayed for 3 nights but I was hoping we stayed longer to see more of this endearing and oldest capital of Japan. We visited Isui-en Garden which was tranquil, peaceful and memorable. I was welcomed by a volunteer who showed me the water garden, tea house and told me the history of the garden, through her enthusiasm I learned that in Japan's feudal system, samurai was the highest class followed by peasants, artisans and merchants. The person who created Isui-en Garden was a merchant who created the customs for Samurai, he made a lot of money and was able to create this garden. She made sure I remember the name of the garden in Chinese and Japanese, it means a "garden along the water"; a very appropriate name. Then at the end of the tour, she surprised me with colorful deers she made in her spare time in origami as gifts from Nara to me. I was so happy to cross the path with Isui-en Garden. We really enjoyed Japanese Tapas in Yamato Cafe in the town center which only uses Nara vegetables. It was recommended by the local visitor center, we went there for lunch with cheapest package, then we were treated with first course of 5 or 6 small colorful and tasteful dishes, then we got multiple courses of main dishes with miso soup, and finally we got a wonderful dessert. I wish we could stay longer to try out more local restaurants. We also enjoyed the local museums and temples. Thank you Nara for your hospitality and friendliness. I left part of my heart in Nara.

    An ideal tourist destination.

    An ideal tourist destination. The deer park is worth the trip alone, but the historic temples and nice views complete the picture. Lots of eateries for tourists. I've been visiting for more than 20 years, and this year the crush of the tourist boom was evident along the main routes, but it was still easy to wander through quieter sections. And thanks to the express trains, it can be a base for visiting Kyoto and Osaka as well.

    Located near to Nara park the hotel is under 10 mins away from the kintetsu Nara line. The hotel location is convenient to access the many attractions that Nara offers. Breakfast was excellent. As mentioned by other travellers it is a little dated but it suited our needs Staff were very friendly and helpful. Another plus was the excellent breakfast which set us up for the day.
