A lovely place at the edge of the deer forest. A marvelous Japanese hosting with a welcome drink and tea set to the room. We had 2 different rooms. Japanese style. Very spacious. We preferred Yoro, but both excellent. The staff is very friendly. Location is very good, right at the park entrance and 10 walking minutes to the center. Highly recommended.

The layout of the room is beautifully done and decorated. Everything was clean and comfortable from the sofa to the bedding, to the bath area and towels. Located in quaint Murou, Murou-ji temple is only a few minutes walk away. It is also within walking distance of Murou Art Forest. Both are must-sees. Parking is available but requires a reservation so be sure to contact the proprietor. After each day of sightseeing around the area, I looked forward to returning to my room and enjoying the cleanliness and comfort. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable stay away from the city, look no further!

The staff there were all very friendly and helpful. I tried out the traditional Japanese room and it was the biggest room I ever lived traveling in Japan. On the first night it was even a bit frightening (if you are a Japanese horror movie lover). But I had 2 good night of sleeps there and the tatami was comfortable too. The staff there will help you to set up the bed and pillows which was very nice. they would light a night lamp for you after making the bed and it feels like home when you come back. The public bath is very comfortable too and I loved it. The location is perfect and it’s right after the Nara Kintetsu. I recommend this hotel and will definitely visit back.

The location and the vibe. It's close enough to the main attractions (especially with the shuttle bus service), yet offers sufficient respite from the bustling city. The facilities are great and as shown in photos. The room is clean and comfy. The meals provided are awesome and with lots of varieties to let us have a taste of the various traditional Japanese food. Last and most importantly, the service is really top-notch. Special thanks to Sho-san for making sure we are well taken care of.

The staff at Hotel Nosegawa was amazing. I casually asked if there was anywhere I could get oatmeal and soy milk and the next day when I came down, they had gone all the way into Koyasan and got me oatmeal and soy milk. Wow, I was shocked, that was above and beyond and totally unexpected. Such a generous group. The public bath was clean and enjoyable. In addition, the free shuttle to Koyasan was super convenient. We really loved our stay and would highly recommend it.

I made an accident when making a reservation for two and pressed one...! So, when we arrived they had a room for one person, but they quickly amended my reservation. The staff are very kind here and welcoming. Easy to find, as it is near both JR and Kintetsu Nara stations. Great pillows!

Nara is my favorite place in Japan.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan. It has really beautiful natural environment, lovely deer that you can easily see while walking on the street, and very friendly people. It has played a very important role in Japanese history (e.g. Horyuji, Toshodaija, etc. are important world heritage sites), but it does not have that many visitors as Kyoto, which makes traveling in Nara a lot more pleasant than travelling in Kyoto. I highly recommend people to travel to southern part of Nara Prefecture (e.g. Horyuji, Asuka-dera, Tsubosaka-dera, Oka-dera, etc.).

i liked the Kashihara Jingu and the visit to various burial places of former tenno. on my last day, i visited the Omiwa Jinja; there is an observation hill where you could watch the sunset over Kashihara city. walking around town however, you can notice the signs of declining population and abandoned shops. there are a few good ramen shops in the area if you know where to find them, like Saika Ramen, highly recommended for its spicy flavour.

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.
