Spotlessly clean. Breakfast was nice, the very spacious room had - I suppose - a Japanese design. A comfortable double bed, a low table and two very low stools, but no sofa, no chair, no desk.
Very spacious bathroom.
A Jacuzzi in the bathroom AND on the terrace!

The deer roaming freely was amazing. The hub of the town was vibrant. The big Buddha temple was very interesting but I would recommend using a guide. I fell due to uneven loose paver and some were very slippery when wet. Night street lighting was poor tbh. Over all a nice place to visit.

I liked best out hotel, ryokan that accepted tattoos in the public onsen and also had a private bathroom, with an amazing room overall.
The deers are quite agressive, not attacking people but stealing anything they can and munching on your clothes if they smell food on you. Still it was a very interesting experience. The crafts museum was just a small shop, but the games museum was super interactive and fun, with very friendly staff. Both of those were free and close by. In Nara everything is pretty close, walking distance, and the streets are very beautiful with traditional architecture.

As the major cities in Japan become larger and more...
As the major cities in Japan become larger and more identical to each other, they also become a little difficult for tourists to manage easily and feel at home in. But Nara has retained the feel it had when I was last there, half a century ago. Back then I said it was the favourite city, along with Kyoto, of any I visited in Japan. Right now I say it is STILL my favourite city, and in the 21st century it has left Kyoto well behind. If I were spending a week in the Kansai area, I would base myself in Nara in preference to Osaka or any of the "majors", and do day trips everywhere else. You will save on accommodation, for a start!

The Todaiji temple and the Kofuku-ji Buddhist temple next to...
The Todaiji temple and the Kofuku-ji Buddhist temple next to it are a must-see. The museum was okay. The Isui-en Wisteria garden was okay too but it was too crowded because the flowers were in bloom. There are a number of restaurants and cafes on the street from the Nara Station to Nara Park.
Walking from Hotel Nikko/Nara Station to Nara Park and walking to all the attractions nearby was very tiring. So, I may recommend taking the bus on the way back, if possible. Also, it suddenly started raining in the afternoon and luckily, I had an umbrella with me.
I wished I had more time to see some of the other attractions outside of the Nara Park.

This was the most welcome I felt of our entire trip. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. If you could choose any hotel for your vacation this has to be the one because it will be your favorite. The food and staff were my favorites. The room was clean and comfy and they even had buckwheat pillows!

The best advice I can give is find where the biggest crowds are massed, all trying to impress deer with the same rice crackers that everyone else is trying to feed them, then pick a direction and walk away from them. There is so much more to the park: primeval forests, ancient stone pathways leading to temples and small villages older than most of our own countries, hidden pockets of lost time. It is hard to explain how it feels to not have another human being in sight, finding yourself passing stone idols carved by people hundreds of years ago, only to see a deer eating moss from the base of said idol that stops chewing to literally bow to you. Of course you bow back and scramble in your bag for some kind of treat to offer your new best friend (I recommend unsalted pretzel sticks, the deer hate plain rice crackers as much as we do at this point) and then having it gently eat from the palm of your hand, before you both again swap polite bows and go on your merry way. Then you hear a crow sing from the ancient forest behind you, and you just know: this is pretty cool.
We absolutely loved our stay at the hotel! The staff was very attentive, helpful, and friendly. They gave us recommendations on what to see in Nara and for where to have one of the best dinners we've had in Japan. The facilities were beautiful, with a gorgeous roof terrace with an amazing view that we enjoyed at sunset. The hotel's onsen gave us the chance of relaxing after so many days of traveling. The location was also great, close to major Nara attractions. We only stayed for one night, but wished we could have stayed for more.
This was one of the best stays we've had in Japan. Comfortable rooms, luxury amenities and the best of all , Onsen experience that takes away all your stress and fatigue.
My wife really loved the comfort pyjamas and the dress provided. Hotel has its own restaurant and is just a minute's walk away from Nara JR station. Not to mention the vending machines within the hotel and the Lawson nearby for anything else. The deer park is also quite nearby.
Staff was polite and knew good conversational english. It's a 10 on 10.
It was so close to the JR Nara station! And I completely forgot there was an onsen. The women's area has a special key that's changed daily, so I felt good about it. I loved that there was also ice cream and cream puffs for post-onsen time. The water was so hot and it felt amazing after traveling all day.
I was able to leave my luggage after check out to explore the area and getting it back was easy. For those who order things like wifi, they can be delivered to the hotel.
- The staff was extraordinarily friendly.
- The room was spacious, clean and modern.
- You could feed deer straight from your window
- There are shops and restaurants nearby
- Very close to all major sights of Nara
- Very good price-performance
- You were able to leave your luggage there for the rest of the day after you checked out, if you still want to do some sightseeing in Nara
- Bus connections run regularly between the hotel and Nara station
The location was good, close to Naramachi. The staff were also very helpful, my friend had left her Apple Airpods in another hotel in a different city and we asked Miroku's staff to help make a call in Japanese and communicate that to the other hotel's staff. The Miroku team helped us with the process of arranging for the airpods to be delivered to us at Miroku, and ensured that we received the item when it arrived. Thank you so much!
The receptionist was super nice even though I was 5 minutes late to check in since I got lost navigating train stations. The room itself was spacious, clean, and I personally slept well on the bed there. I also walked to Nara Park from the hotel, so it's at a good location. This place was definitely one of my favorite stays in my 2 week Japan trip and it was probably one of the lowest-costing ones too.
I cannot over emphasize how incredibly helpful, kind, and professional the staff are at this hotel. They went above and beyond the call of duty to assist me. The hotel is clean and efficient and it is in the perfect location to walk to shops, restaurants, and Nara Park. Even though the rooms are very compact, and the beds are a bit on the firmer side, it is an excellent value.
Japanese style hotel, relaxing atmosphere, both Japanese and western style breakfasts were of excellent quality. Access to late afternoon drinks and snacks whilst overlooking hotel garden was a bonus and a great way to relax after exploring Nara. Location is quiet once all day tourists have gone and is close to Nara Park.
Vintage and historical hotel where a lot of famous people stayed. Good location (inside of Nara park). Can see deers right behind the hotel. The reception staff is very helpful who recommended us a good local Shabu Shabu restaurant and also helped us to make a reservation. That is one of the best dinner I had in Japan.
Very nice onsen hotel just next to Nara station. Everything was nice, only the window could not be opened the way I would have wished and I always felt a bit like in a room without window (although there was one). The onsen is really nice, free soup and icecream in the evening. Friendly staff, everything clean.
The location was ideal to walk to Nara park, and the husband and wife owners (I'm terrible with names 😅) were incredibly warming and open when I arrived, and helped to call a restaurant when I needed to check my booking.
My room was lovely, and this is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in!
The hotel has an old-fashioned design but still, it is very clean. Our room was clean as well and they offered nice facilities. The only minor is the location, we didn't understand that it was a bit further from Nara Center, approximately 10 minutes by car or 25 minutes by train.
right on top of the Nara train station, well connected to the ticketing counter and board the train. there are plenty options of restaurants right below the hotel operated to midnight and a supermarket closed at 12am. location and amenities is superb, room are decent size
Great traditional Japanese hotel. A little out of date but that is what tradition is about. Onsen was very nice. Both dinner and breakfast is great. The location is a little far for most Nara tourist sites but hotel provides shuttle from/to train station.
The staff was very nice and helpful. The double room was quite large and comfortable. There are landromats on 2 different floors.
The hotel is very close to Nara station, and it's a great and cheaper location, allowing us to visit Osaka and Kyoto as well.
Very nice modern hotel. Big rooms, very comfortable beds, big TV with access to netflix, Amazon etc. Good location, very close to Kintestu Nara station and a couple of mins walk from Nara Park. Loads of nice cafes and restaurants on your doorstep.
The hotel is in an amazing location! All the tourist attractions are easy walking distance. There are some fabulous restaurants near and around the hotel. The bed and pillows were super comfy and the room spacious.
The location was good, close to train station and convenience store. We stayed for a night so we don’t have any complaints. There are many parking lots close to the hotel. Its close to Nara park as well.
-Very nice staff
-We stayed in Ryokan+ bunk beds, both were really ok
-Local good quality restaurant on the back of this accommodation
- good location/distance from Jr train station and from nara park
