“Located conveniently near both JR and Kintetsu Nara stations, this hotel places guests within easy reach of Nara's main attractions, including Nara Park and Kofuku-ji Temple. Rooms are clean, if compact - a typical arrangement in Japan - with comfortable beds and the availability of deeper bathtubs. In my opinion, its greatest asset is the attentive service, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a welcoming experience.”
