The inn was perfectly located between the town and Nara park, and the view from our room overlooked a beautiful pond. Deer were roaming around everywhere. Walking around the area was quite lovely. The staff were so warm, welcoming, and helpful—it was truly a joy to spend the night here.

Its a little bit of a walk away from the main stations, which makes it quite peaceful and lovely. Lovely surrounding area, we were lucky to have a view of the pond & deer.

Very lovely place to stay in Nara, much more than what I expected! Very convenient location 10 minutes from subway, friendly staff, and even more, there's a sense of community since it's the visitor center. Definitely a hidden gem in Nara!

Loved this little "government" hotel! Walking distance to all of the amazing sights in Nara - friendly staff and very spacious Japanese-style room with a view of the pagoda!

6/10 Good

Really a great location and fine for the money. Beds are uncomfortable and rooms are small for a family
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Our second stay in 7 years. Although the famous 5 story tower is in long term renovation, the location is still best in our opinion. It very quiet and typical Japanese style residential area.walkable distance to major attractions and shopping. Hope this facility will still be around. It’s a visit center too, so lot of information and culture activities.

All visitors must take a day or two and stay at the visitor center, they offer lots of activities and the staff is great. Overall a full package.
