This spot was so unique if you’re looking for a traditional spot to stay in Japan. Nara is a beautiful city and ending up being my favorite in all Japan. The staff were fantastic and very helpful. I would recommend this spot to my family and friends.

We loved the location and walking distance to Nara Park and temples. The staff was amazing and very intelligent! Some of them spoke many different languages. They had many fun things to do and everything we needed as far as amenities. Starbucks right across the pond and shopping centers as well.

Some things may be a little outdated in the Nara Visitor Center & Inn but it is the best bang for your buck in town & the staff was outstanding - so friendly & helpful! I’m so glad we decided to spend a couple of days in Nara instead of just doing it as the day trip that it is so often marketed as. Nara is it’s own destination & my favorite part of my whole whirlwind journey through Japan.

Excellent view and location at a bargain!

We stayed at this lovely place for one night while we were in Nara, and it definitely delivered more value than what we expected. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend it. I liked that you can borrow things at reception and that we had a pass for the public onsen. There was also a lot of useful information in reception that we could get that made our trip easier.
