Hotel Route-Inn Sakurai Ekimae

Very convenient, right in front of Sakurai Station. We stayed here to visit Hasedera Temple and Abe Monju-in on our way back from Osaka. We also planned to go to Horyu-ji afterward, so we used Sakurai Station, which is served by both Kintetsu and JR. The Room was more spacious than expected and very practical. The large public bath was also very clean.If I had one request, I would have liked mineral water in the Room.

Conveniently located just steps from the stations (Kintetsu and JR), I felt it was an excellent base for exploring ancient Japanese history around Nara Prefecture. There are good, affordable restaurants within walking distance, and there is also a convenience store nearby, which is very handy. The building is new and comfortable, and the Room layout worked well both for relaxing and for desk work. Since I love trains, I had a great time in a station-side Room where I could watch the trains. I think it offers excellent value for money. It’s also close to sites related to the introduction of Buddhism to Japan and the missions to Sui China, making it an ideal location for fans of ancient Japanese history.
