Fantastic 5.0
This place is truly amazing! It's super close to the subway, bus station, and supermarket, all within a five-minute walk, which significantly boosted our travel happiness. Plus, the price is unbeatable – incredible value for money! They even have a large public bath with hot springs, Yakult, popsicles, and ramen, all free of charge. And the breakfast is absolutely delicious! I love this hotel! I highly recommend it to family and friends!

Hotel location: Approximately a 3-minute walk from Nara Station. This hotel offers great value for money, but you can tell it's an older establishment. The room is a bit small, making it hard to fully open luggage. However, it's a nice touch that the TV can connect to Netflix and YouTube.

Clean hotel located right next to the station. Excellent location, and there are also very good restaurants around the hotel where you can eat very well.

Had the best time on the tour with our guide Valerie! who was informative, sweet and incredibly helpful. We were so stressed about squeezing in all of these attractions in the short time that we had and it was a great find stumbling upon this posting on klook. Not only did we manage to tick off all of our bucketlist spots but also learned little facts about each spot that we visited with the drive leading up to each attraction the best headsup in terms of background and what to expect when there. Valerie was very patient and accommodating with all of our little (sometimes stupid) questions and really made the day all the more memorable for us topping it off with the sweetest little parting gifts which we will travel home with and remember fondly of our experience here! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

I had such a fun day on the Kyoto and Nara tour today! It rained a little, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying all the places we visited. I especially had a great time in Nara — just be careful with the deer!
Our guide, Shine, was really kind, helpful, and well-organized. He always kept us updated about where and when to meet, which made the whole tour easy and enjoyable.
I really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it!

this is a really good deal. got it for buy 1 take 1 promo yet the experience is as if i paid for two people. thank you Mike, our tour guide. i really appreciate the work that you’ve done and i am very impressed with how many language you could speak - it must be hard to say statements in three different languages but you pulled it off!
