We came mainly for the location to Nara Park and the train station and was not expecting more than a basic hotel with beds. We were pleasantly surprised with the inner-courtyard for the kids, the restaurant and the general design of the hotel with sustainable wood. We would recommend to anyone staying the night in Nara.

very kind staff. I have lived in many cities in the Kansai region, and they are very kind and helpful. English is always available there so no worries. The hotel is located at the heart of the Nara city, especially the Nara park, Nara machi, and Sarusawa-ike Pond. I can easily walk to each tourism attraction without using any buses or trains. If I have the chance to visit Nara again, I will definitely choose it again. Although some tourists may not spend a night in Nara, but I highly recommend you to spend a night here. The hotel quatily is definitely better than other cities in the Kansai region, given that you spent the same amount of money.

We enjoyed Nara and the Nara Hotel very much! Very nice old hotel, but very nicely maintained, super clean. Fantastic atmosphere. Super comfortable beds and sheets. Delicious multiple course dinner and breakfast. In the middle of the Nara Park. You can go everywhere by walking. There are deers also in the park of the hotel. They are very cute bowing at you to get deer biscuits. Beautiful place!

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 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.

I didn’t check closing times of temples and it was hard to determine the last buses back from further out locations. I did end up having a nice evening walk along a riverside to find a train station to come back into town.

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.
