A Hotel on Mt. Wakakusa in Nara Prefecture, renowned for one of Japan’s New Three Great Night Views, offering exceptional panoramic vistas
A "Seasonal Delicacy Course" that blends the tradition of Japanese cuisine with French techniques, based on ingredients from Nara such as Yamato beef and Yamato vegetables. "Unique Free Activities" to experience the seasons woven by nature, including stargazing, wood chopping, campfires, insect collecting, and firefly watching, enjoyable for both adults and children. Enjoy a moment of leisure in a space that harmonizes the history and culture of ancient Nara, cherishing the essence of the ingredients. We welcome you first with the soothing aroma.
This was my first stay. The Room was comfortable, and the food was delicious. There was a stargazing and night view watching program, and I joined it. Unfortunately, it was cloudy so we could hardly see any stars, but we were able to enjoy the night view of Nara. If I have the opportunity, I would like to stay again.
This Accommodation is a favorite of mine, and I’ve stayed many times.However, on my previous stay, the check-in process had changed from the sofa seating area to the counter, and the welcome drinks and sweets were gone.If it had stayed that way, I almost would have lowered my rating.Even though there are plenty of sofa seats with great views, it was disappointing to have to check in at the counter.I mentioned this last time as well—check-in is the first impression of an Accommodation.The drinks and sweets had become self-service, but I’m glad that check-in at the sofa seating area has been brought back.Towels are no longer provided in the large public bath area, so you now need to bring them from your Room.It’s a bit inconvenient, but I suppose it can’t be helped from an eco-friendly perspective.I’ve said various things, but because of the wonderful views—and because dinner paired with sake is delicious—I’ll be back again.
