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.

Fabulous stay in Temple Town

This hotel is beautiful, with comfortable and clean rooms, wonderful public baths and great service. It is just minutes away from Horyuji temple. We would definitely stay there again, hopefully for more than 1 night!

建物も綺麗で、部屋に入って、宿泊費を間違えたのかと思うくらい、ゆとりのある、落ち着いた綺麗な部屋で満足しました。お風呂も2種類隣同士で、移動が少なく、夜朝と楽しめました。法隆寺の門前なので、朝の散歩も時間の余裕があって、も一度尋ねたいと思います。
