Enjoyed staying at Rokune hotel. Had a nice roomy apartment on the 4the floor. Apartment was spacious, with 2 nice and comfy double beds, very big bathroom. Appreciated the free skin care products, water, coffee and tea. Check-in was super easy with 2 codes(1 for the front door, panel on the right hand side of the door and 1 for the apartment) that you receive via mail. Would definitely stay here again when I come back to Nara. Nearby the train station, so very convenient as well.

The location was great, very accessible via public transit as we took a train from Kyoto. The shuttle service provided by the hotel was efficient and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The meals provided (kaiseki dinner and breakfast) were also excellent! We booked a room with a private bath and it was spacious and comfortable. I also liked that the hotel provided a quick evening tour (free shuttle) to Wakakusayama Hill, which overlooks the city of Nara. While it was quite cloudy (we couldn't appreciate the stars in the sky) the view of the cityscape from the hill was breathtaking.

Great hotel, very friendly staff, especially the English speaking receptionist who booked us in and patiently answered our questions. The Onsen is very nice, and it is the only Hotel I have ever stayed with a free bar! A wide choice of different pillows to take (get in early) and a good breakfast. I would happily go back and think it was very good value for money.

Super big rooms (all the premises, actually) with one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in Japan, everything is spotlessly clean, the public bath is beautiful, the staff lovely, and there's a free shuttle bus to both JR and Kintetsu Nara stations. And all of this princess treatment for an unbelievably low price.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan. It has really beautiful natural environment, lovely deer that you can easily see while walking on the street, and very friendly people. It has played a very important role in Japanese history (e.g. Horyuji, Toshodaija, etc. are important world heritage sites), but it does not have that many visitors as Kyoto, which makes traveling in Nara a lot more pleasant than travelling in Kyoto. I highly recommend people to travel to southern part of Nara Prefecture (e.g. Horyuji, Asuka-dera, Tsubosaka-dera, Oka-dera, etc.).

I really enjoyed my stay.

I really enjoyed my stay. The area is peaceful and the hotel has a very relaxed, but high-end vibe, minus amenities like pool, gym, restaurants. Although they have a nice restaurant next door with grocery/gift shop. The staff are wonderful and make you feel very welcomed! The hotel is at a base of the mountain and is outside the city which is worked for me, but if you need to be in the center till late, you will need to chip out the $10 taxi ride from the station. Will definitely visit again!

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.

Tenri is not as well-known as Nara or Asuka, but the area is dotted with dozens of key-hole shaped kofun, ancient burial mounds. Some are accessible and many are how they have been for hundreds of years.

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.
