It’s the best of Japanese style Ryokan hotel that we have experienced in Japan so far. The personalised service is warm and wonderful. It reflects Japanese culture in a respect of people who are ultra-polite, diligent, thoughtful, meticulous and artistic tasteful. good location - Nara Park… etc. and local specialty shopping streets nearby.

Spacious studio size (comparing to standard Japanese hotel room size), very clean, modern and complete with necessary amenities. Quite neighbourhood. 2 mins walking from Nara Station. Few convenient stores close by. Unmanned facility but their staff are very responsive, easy guides from email. Overall this is one of the best stay in Japan.

The staff , the vibe , the decor . One find peace and comfort, like an oasis in the city. It was a beautiful and wonderful surprise to see deers coming to the hotel gardens. They walked around in the garden and ate some of the flowers and grass in the morning. We were able to get so close to them and it felt so peaceful inside the hotel. The hotel was renovated from a century-old sake production place, it has its charm and traditional vibe in modern comfort that the other 4 stars hotels can't compare. If our time and budget allow, I would definitely go back again in Nara.

    I stayed in the old bulding and had the pleasure to listen to waterfall and frog sounds from the nearby river all night. Very soothing. The place has a great retro atmosphere, clean and nice onsen and great food. On top of that, when I inquired about public buses to Koyasan from near villages, I was told by the receptionist he will take me there the next morning via car. Free of charge. What a service!

    A great ryokan with wonderful staff. Great stay for tourists near the Nara park. Nice views from the terrace, very comfortable room, a spa bath, massage chair, vending machines, restaurant and other quality of life upgrades. I highly recommend to stay there and enjoy Nara in the evening, after most of the tourists leaves the park. And once again - wonderful staff.

    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.

    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 Koen (park) is a beautiful place.

    Nara Koen (park) is a beautiful place. Todaiji and Kasuga Kaisha is located nearby. The Sarusawa Ike (pond) behind the Nara Park leads to shopping place. One can spend whole day around Nara. - Beware of the deer, they might get a bit aggressive when offering food. - It gets crowded during on-season.

    I love the deer and the ambiance of Nara.

    I love the deer and the ambiance of Nara. Arrive early and expect crowds. As with anything else, the further you walk from the main area, you can stumble across more peaceful and secluded places. I would avoid Nara on the weekend, if possible. Deer can be friendly (and bow politely to ask for a treat) or aggressive (grabbing items out of your bag, biting your clothing, or being over-zealous). Keep your crackers high or out of sight and feel free to walk away from deer that are not vibing.
