On October 15, I stayed at Nara Hotel with my niece, traveling from Tokyo to attend the tea offering ceremony held as part of the Lusana Buddha statue dedication commemorative service at the Great Buddha Hall of Todai-ji Temple. From the staff who welcomed us to the front desk team, everyone was kind and courteous, and we enjoyed a very comfortable two-night stay. For breakfast, I had chagayu (tea porridge) on the first morning; every dish made with local Nara ingredients was delicious. The next day I chose a Western-style breakfast, which was also well balanced, and I finished everything both days. I love Nara, so when I visit again, I would definitely like to stay at Nara Hotel.

We had another very comfortable stay! The room, meals, bath, and hospitality were all excellent. The food in particular was outstanding—made with local ingredients and thoughtfully tied in with local events. We’ll be back again. Thank you!

I caused you a great deal of trouble, but everyone spoke to me so kindly that it truly helped me. The price is almost too low! The in-room lotion was my favorite brand, there were two sinks, and both dinner and breakfast were outstanding. It was a shame there was no view from the open-air bath, but I found myself hoping—thinking from the owner’s perspective—that your service will continue just as it is so you won’t lose guests until the construction is finished. Even without a view from the window, this is a wonderful Ryokan. Thank you very much for everything.

We arrived by car, parked at the Hotel, and walked five minutes to AEON to watch an evening movie and have dinner. The breakfast area was spacious and clean, with counter seats by the window (the view is only of the parking lot). The scrambled eggs were delicious. It was also great that we could watch YouTube as a guest. We will stay again.

The moment we arrived, my first thought was, “This is even more like a love hotel than I imagined!” When we entered the building, we didn’t understand the system, so we called a staff member using the phone at the front desk. That was the only person we met during our one-night stay. The bathroom has a jacuzzi and a spacious washing area, and you can even watch movies on the TV. I’m usually picky about pillows, but the bed was very comfortable. The drinks in the fridge were cheaper than at other Hotels. The amenities were surprisingly luxurious for these days—the body towel felt great to use, the toothbrushes were good quality, and there was even a ReFa hair dryer plus a hair iron! For breakfast I chose the BLT sandwich; it was delicious and came with coffee. It’s easy to access by car, and places like Toshodaiji Temple and Horyuji Temple were close by for sightseeing the next day. The price was low so I had no expectations at all, but it exceeded them in a great way!! It honestly felt more all-inclusive than the all-inclusive Accommodation we stayed at the next day (lol). Checkout is easy too. If I have another chance, I’d love to stay here again.

The Room had a private open-air bath, and it was amazing. We also really enjoyed the delicious drinks and snacks. The meals were generous in portion size, and the Yamato beef shabu-shabu was especially excellent. The kids were thrilled with the table tennis and board games too!

I was scheduled to give a lecture at the Uji Botanical Garden in June and stayed here at that time. Unfortunately, heavy rain led to the training being canceled, so I visited sightseeing spots such as Byodo-in Phoenix Hall before heading home. This time, I had another lecture at the Uji Botanical Garden. Since I had stayed here before and knew the amenities were well stocked, I didn’t bring any toiletries with me. Last time it rained, but this time the weather was clear. The day before, I visited Tofuku-ji Temple and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine and arrived at the hotel in the evening. After stretching my legs and taking a break, I searched online for recommended dinner options nearby. I also knew there was a supermarket close by, so I bought bread and tea for lunch on my lecture day. Then, based on good reviews, I had dinner at a nearby restaurant that grills hokke over charcoal. The next morning, since I knew there was a convenience store near the station, I went there to buy breakfast. There is coffee available at the front desk, so I enjoyed a cup as well. When heading to my training session after checking out, they kindly stored my change of clothes and other items at the front desk upon request, which was very helpful. After the training session, I picked up my luggage from the hotel and returned home to Osaka from Keihan Uji Station. Twin room used as single occupancy. It would be nice if the hotel offered something like a breakfast buffet. The room was clean and comfortable, and I had a relaxing stay. Thank you very much.

The staff are wonderful. Guidance and help with any issues were handled smoothly, and everyone was full of kindness. I could really feel their pride in their work. The property was clean, and the breakfast was excellent! I’ve come to love Nara!! Next time, I’d like to stay a little longer. Thank you very much.

The Room was small, but it was more than enough for one person. It was my first solo trip in a while, and I had a very pleasant stay. The Room was thoroughly cleaned and felt very comfortable. Check-in went smoothly, and the staff explained everything carefully. They had a memory foam pillow at the exact same height as the one I use at home, so I slept very well. Breakfast was also delicious. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

It was in a wonderful location very close to Sarusawa Pond. From our room we could look out over the pond, and it was great to enjoy different views in the evening, at night, and in the morning. The five-story pagoda was under renovation so we couldn’t see it, but my husband was very happy with how close it was—he could go jogging and visit Kasuga Taisha Shrine and Nara Park early in the morning. Since my husband has a shrimp and crab allergy, they accommodated this as well, and we also requested an additional surprise birthday cake for him. We were truly impressed by the service from all of the staff. We chose a room with a hinoki cypress bath, so we were able to relax both in our room and at the large public bath. After checking out, we fed deer crackers to the deer near the hotel and then left using our rental car parked at their affiliated parking lot. We had a wonderful, fun, and delicious stay. Thank you very much.

The station is close, so we not only visited Nara but also went out to Namba this time. After arriving by car, they kindly stored our luggage and we took the train to Namba. We ate takoyaki and wandered around. On the second day, we went to Heijo Palace Site. We drove there, but while walking around we realized we had come right next to the hotel.

The front desk staff were very kind and helpful, and we had a wonderful stay. It was a three-generation trip with my daughter and grandchild, and it became a great memory. We are truly grateful—thank you very much.

Conveniently located about a 3-minute walk from the station, I stayed for one night at a very reasonable price. I was able to use the parking lot, and there were also nearby parking options if you arrived early (they were full by evening). This time I wanted to eat at the nearby Matsuya (since there isn’t one near where I live), so I didn’t use the breakfast service. Overall, everything was clean, it wasn’t noisy, and I had a comfortable stay. However, the only disappointing point was that the entrance vestibule didn’t seem to be well cleaned. Since the entrance is the face of the Hotel, it’s a shame when cleaning isn’t thorough there.

It was my first time back in Nara in a while, and I stayed with my son. Thank you for kindly responding to my inquiries in advance. If I had to mention anything, the flushing sound from the toilet felt quite loud, and although I had seen online that pillows and pajamas could be selected, there was no 안내 at check-in. I was only able to borrow them after asking. (Another family who rode the elevator with us said the same thing.) Other than that, we had a very comfortable stay. I would like to stay again.

We stayed here with our children while sightseeing in Nara. There were kid-friendly events such as a festival plaza, so we could enjoy the Ryokan rather than just spending time in our Room. The Onsen was simple but wonderfully warming, and we were very satisfied with the breakfast buffet, including the variety of dishes as well as drinks and desserts. The staff’s hospitality was also pleasant. Thank you very much.

My friend loves architecture, so we stayed here. The Room and garden were beautiful, and it was a wonderful space to relax while enjoying the view. At check-in, they kindly explained the building in detail, which made it a great experience. Rather than a Ryokan, it truly feels like staying in an “old house” just as it is. For two people, the large hall felt a bit too spacious and slightly unsettling, so I think this house would be even more enjoyable with a larger group. Thank you for this valuable experience!

The Room was clean and conveniently located near the station, making it easy to get around.
