"Super friendly staff, in a magical place in the deer park surrounded by nature, some great little shops, shrines, and animals. Nara was the absolute highlight of my trip to Japan and this Inn was a dream to stay at. We loved our time here. "
"The hotel has great ammenities and the room service options have a ton of variety. It was nice having a massage chair and jacuzzi tub in the room. It was the largest room my husband and I stayed in throughout our travels in Japan as well."
"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!"
"This is a very authentic Japanese hotel and appeared to be mostly Japanese tourists. The dinner buffet had very loud live performance and the audience was definitely into it. There's an onsen at this hotel and a pool. The pool closes early and opens late so heads up. We didn't really pay attention to where the hotel was. It's about a 45 minute train from the Nara Park, we may have booked a closer place if we'd known, but for the experience of staying at this hotel it was pretty much worth...
"Service and food were excellent. We had Japanese dinner and breakfast. Each were well prepared and presented. Very walkable area. Private bath was very nice touch after long day of travel and walking around town. "

Unique features of Naramachi include the coffeehouses and shopping. Make a stop by Gango-ji Temple or Nara City Museum of Photography while you're exploring the area.
Sarusawa Pond Park is just one of the places to see in Noboriōji, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? While in this culturally rich area, find time to visit its temples.
Deer biscuits run out by 2 pm. Feed the deers near the temple. The deer are more chill there. The ones near park are more aggressive but make sure biscuits in sealed bag so deer does not smell the biscuits before you are ready to feed them

Awesome town. The people here are incredibly friendly and nice. Aside from the deer park, the shrines and restaurants are all top notch. So many hidden spots if you walk outside of the typical tourist spots.

Small, friendly, pretty city with first class attractions & many happy tourists wandering around. A bit short of restaurants at night - we ended up finding noodles at a convenience store when we couldn't find anyone selling vegetarian food.

Nara is the excellent place to go around on foot. It is not nearly as crowded as in Kyoto. The great place to enjoy nature in slower pace. Highly recommend Yamanobe-michi for the wonderful hiking.

The grand Buddha is highly recommended and the area is generally very easy to get around. The deer are cute if potentially dangerous.

Quiet and nice area in general. Some local residents are friendly too, although they may not speak much English or other language. Deers can be a bit aggressive sometimes, just need to be prepared.

Dont day trip, stay, super restaurants and bars away from the hubbub of Kyoto and Osaka.
"Very close to Dotonbori. You'll never go hungry as you're surrounded by convenience stores. The area is safe and walkable to shopping places and restaurants. We booked the double bed room for 2 people. If you're not used to Japanese hotels, this room might feel small to you. Packing was a bit of a struggle due to the lack of floor space, but we already knew that would be the case as smaller hotel rooms are very common in Japan. The free breakfast was a treat. They had typical Japanese breakfast which was very hearty and healthy. We would definitely book back and recommend this hotel to our family and friends. "
"The room is a bit small, which is typical for hotels in Japan, but the location is fantastic—just a 3-minute walk to Dotonbori. The morning breakfast buffet is also great. "
"Love, love this hotel. 5 minutes walk from the Kyoto station.
Complementary lattes and matcha at the lobby. Breakfast selections were exceptional.
The hot springs were amazing. The massage chairs were a great additions to end our day after all the walking.
Complementary ice cream all day and late night ramen can’t ask for anything more.
The staff were very attentive.
Will come back in a heart beat.
