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.

Very nice, very pleasant, the front desk staff were very attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend it. It's not a very big hotel, but it's very nice and pleasant, and if you come from days of a lot of walking somewhere else like Osaka, it's great for staying a night and resting.

we had a really excellent time making chopsticks! it was very fun and easy to follow. good balance of independence with giving help, and we could make our own design choices. the laser engraving was an extra fee, as were certain woods.

This tour was absolutely worthwhile, largely thanks to our amazing tour guide, Tina! She was incredibly engaging, friendly, and knowledgeable. Even during our bus rides between spots, she kept us thoroughly entertained with fascinating trivia and gave clear, helpful details on what to expect at each destination.
The only downside was that we wished we had more time in Arashiyama. We opted to take the Sagano Romantic Train—which was fantastic—but as a trade-off, we didn't have enough time left to explore the Bamboo Forest.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience with great sights, made truly special by Tina's exceptional hosting! Highly recommended!

Overall, the experience was fun and hassle-free. Thanks to this tour package. Definitely a must try! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Special thanks to our tour guide - Shine(formerly handsome man) is a nice tour guide. He was good at providing details and stories on how to improve as a guide. He was kind enough to give us sets of umbrella and was nice to my kids.
He also kind to provide assistance outside the tour. I would recommend him and looking forward to our next day trip with him soon. 😎👍🏻👍🏻

Great tour. Wish the waiting tome was longer. The tour guide who was welcoming us and gave us a brifing , Miho San is very kind and caring.
The bus is very convenient. The hilltop view is great. Very recommended! Children enjoyed walking and deers were so sweet and cute. The tip that helped us: we walked to carts that sell deer crackers first and took the wakakusa bus right after that.so we could feed deers on top of the hill.
