The hotel was one of our best experiences overall in Japan. The rooms beautiful and so well equipped, the public baths were amazing and relaxing. Everything was perfectly clean and we felt so welcome. The staff was really on another level. From the moment we stepped in to the moment we drove away in the taxi - the hospitality and kindness was unparalleled. I would definitely stay there again if I revisit Nara.

Modern japanese style hotel

Amazing stay in a beautiful and modern japanese style hotel. Everything was in brand new condition and extremely clean. I regret that there was no curtains in the room. The access is quite good if you take the busses down the road. Close to both Nara and Osaka by train.

気ままな一人旅だったので素泊まりを選択しました。自分はそれで良かったですが、周辺にコンビニも飲食店もないのでそれなりに考えたほうがよいです。とても清潔で静か、法隆寺に合わせた趣きのあるホテルで大人の宿泊にお勧めです。何より、無料の法隆寺ツアーが最高でした。また行きたいと思いました。ありがとうございました。
