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 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.

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!

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.

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.

They don't have a carpark so if you are driving, you will have to park in some public carpark nearby. It will be extra 1000 yen++ overnight after the hotel discount coupon to apply. The room is clean and tidy. Sky spa looks good but uses normal tap water with kinda strong disinfectant smell.

It's conveniently located within walking distance of the JR station, with plenty of dining options nearby. Plus, it's only about a 30-minute JR ride to Osaka, and the room rates are cheaper than in Osaka, so it's worth considering staying here. The only minor drawback is that the air conditioning isn't always very cool.

My partner and I had a really great experience with Edward on this photoshoot. When we requested to take photos away from the Kyoto crowds, he thoughtfully suggested to do a photoshoot at a nearby garden instead where it was much more quieter. This made us more comfortable and confident during the shoot. Also he provided katana and umbrella props upon request, which was pretty sick!! :D

Had a session in Nara early December with the family. Enjoyed the session very much. Photographer was easy to deal and easy-going. He showed us around Nara park. Went to the less populated area and the deers where gentler. The photographers gave us easy guide and instructions. Overall a very pleasant experience!
