Nara Prefecture

The hotel is conveniently located very close to the JR station. The breakfast offers a wide variety of delicious options, including Nara's local specialties, which can be enjoyed directly at the hotel. The downside is that there are too many guests, making the onsen very crowded and requiring you to queue for breakfast. The bed is a bit hard, and the air conditioner has some noise.

The hotel's exterior design is modern, and the front desk staff is very helpful. The lobby gives the impression of being more than just a 3-star hotel; it has 4-star quality! The rooms are very spacious, providing an overall comfortable feeling. The bathroom design is pleasant and has ample space. I initially thought there were no personal toiletries, but they were cleverly stored! Highly recommended!

The self-service luggage storage was great, and it's very close to the station. The price for a Saturday night stay wasn't cheap, and the bathroom was a bit small for that price. It was quiet at night, but the AC was a bit noisy. There's a lavender scent in the first-floor common area, which I personally didn't like. The breakfast selection wasn't very diverse, but it's not a large hotel.

location is close to kintetsu Nara station. breakfast is good.room space is good enough in comparison to other Japan hotel.

The hotel is located near JR Nara Station, about a 3-5 minute walk away. It's convenient for transferring to Osaka and Kyoto. There's a Matsuya restaurant at the entrance of the alley, but no convenience store. You have to walk to the front of JR station for a convenience store, so the convenience of the location is average. There are fewer lively streets near the JR station side, but you can reach Kintetsu Nara through Sanjo-dori Shopping Street, which is a very lively area. Nara relies more on buses for transportation, and it's actually more convenient to take the bus from the JR station. The hotel overall is decent, but on my first day, I didn't know there was heating (air conditioner), and I think the room's central control hardware facilities could be improved. The shower water is very hot! Super hot! Be extra careful when using it.

I stayed at this hotel in Nara for two days. It's very close to Nara Park and the JR train station. The front desk staff are very enthusiastic. The rooms aren't large, but they are kept very clean and comfortable.

very convenient location at JR station and bus stop. many shops and restaurants nearby. the buffet breakfast has lot of choices with some variation on each day.

Our tour guide (Theodore Chen) is great for the job. Humorous and makes the trip very interesting, telling facts about Japan better than my school! The instructions were clear. The option to drop off at Kyoto — which we did — was great, so we didn't have to sped extra money coming to Kyoto from Osaka.

I recommend this trip for those with limited time during their Osaka visit. It’s a wonderful way to see three popular tourist spots in just one day. We started from Dotonburi at 8am and returned around 6:30pm. You’ll get about 2 hours to explore the Arashiyama area, 1 hour in Nara, and over an hour at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Just a heads-up: be punctual so you don’t miss the tour, which leaves without you if you're late. Be sure to plan your day wisely. We managed to squeeze in a quick lunch in Arashiyama since there wouldn’t be time to eat at the other spots.
