    It was a 5 minutes walk from Nara Station, and the bed was really comfortable. They provide free coffee and tea, and also have a kitchen with all you need, in case you want to cook

    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...
