slowly-rabbitThe room is quite big, and there is a small balcony where you can go out and get some fresh air. The chickens in the yard downstairs are sleek and shiny. They said there were four chickens, but I only saw three. The rice balls for breakfast are OK, freshly made by hand. It is within walking distance of Kintetsu Nara Station.

Это рёкан, как в сказке. Около домиков фотографировались туристы, наверное, им и в голову не пришло, что там можно снять жильё :))
Ужин кайсеки мы выбрали стандартный, и нам было достаточно, больше мы бы не съели.
Завтрак такой же обильный. Всё было очень вкусно.
Обязательно вернусь ещё, спасибо!

Hygiene: Yellow stains that had not been cleaned were found on the toilet
Environment: Halfway up Mount Wakakusa, isolated from the outside noise. The overall design style is modern Japanese. If you want to experience pure Japanese living, you should pay attention to the difference
Service: The service is still worthy of praise. The driver and front desk staff are very enthusiastic. They helped arrange the car to go up the mountain in the morning. It was very lucky to see 👀 deer🦌 on a rainy day
Food: Most of the food arranged is made from local ingredients in Nara. The ingredients are not gorgeous, the taste is OK, and it is more down-to-earth

Guest UserThis hotel is very new, and it's also the most stylish and best value-for-money hotel in Nara. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The electronic display in the room also shows the current number of people in the hot spring, so you can choose to go when it's not too crowded.

Guest UserGood ..The guide lady who helped show me the way was especially nice. She could even speak a bit of Chinese. She helped me get on the shuttle bus to the station. And the scenery around here is really amazing.

littlelukelookThis hotel is super conveniently located right next to JR Nara Station, making transportation a breeze. There's a 7-Eleven and a large supermarket next to JR Nara Station, which is really handy. You can also catch a bus right outside the hotel to Nara Park.
The hotel offers many optional services, showing great thoughtfulness.
The onsen (hot spring) experience was generally good. They even provided sleep aids like different pillows and sleep supplements.
My room was quite spacious for one person, though the facilities were relatively simple. The keyless entry with a password lock on the door was great as it meant I didn't need to carry a room card. The hairdryer was a Refa, and it was fantastic!
The best part was definitely the free happy hour at the restaurant in the evenings. There was a wide variety of drinks available, and many guests brought food from the convenience store to enjoy with their drinks.

Guest UserI booked a king-sized room, and it looked just like the pictures, meeting my expectations perfectly. The bed was large enough, and there were both soft and firm pillows.
The hotel is visible right from the West Exit of JR Nara Station. You don't even need to go downstairs; you can just walk directly across the sky bridge. The hotel's front desk is on the LB floor; turn right after exiting the elevator. We arrived before check-in time, so we went to the front desk to store our luggage. After we returned, we asked to retrieve our luggage and check in. Check-in is done at a machine; if you speak Japanese, you can do it yourself, otherwise, a staff member might need to guide you. The elevator requires a key card, and once you swipe it, it automatically selects your floor, which is quite convenient as you don't have to press the button manually.
Our room was on the 8th floor, and the hotel fulfilled all the requests I made during booking. I'm not sure if it was because it was the off-season and there weren't many people, but we barely saw any other guests. We didn't hear any noise from the hallway or outside the window, so soundproofing wasn't an issue at all.
The bathroom was spacious, and naturally, it had a smart toilet. The lighted vanity mirror was very convenient for applying and removing makeup. The drawers were well-stocked with toiletries, though the toothbrushes were very hard and might make your gums bleed. I recommend bringing your own toothbrush if possible, or buying one at Lawson downstairs. The shower room didn't have a bathtub, which is more typical for Chinese preferences, and it also had a small stool. The hand soap, shower gel, and shampoo were all from POLA, and they were quite pleasant to use.
The room had a desk perfect for working, but the only drawback was the lack of power outlets, only USB ports, which made charging inconvenient. Perhaps there were some, and we just didn't find them. Also, there was no full-length mirror in the room.
The hotel's breakfast area is next to the front desk, just a short walk away. You give your voucher to the staff, and they give you a card, which you return after you finish eating. You don't need to clean up after yourself; just leave the dishes on the table and go. The breakfast selection wasn't as extensive as in China, lacking even basic fried eggs. In terms of RMB, it felt a bit pricey, but for Japan, the cost was reasonable. There were breads, pastries, some fruits, snacks, and a wide variety of drinks, so you could certainly get a full meal. If you have a busy morning schedule, I recommend having breakfast at the hotel.
I would definitely want to stay here again on my next trip to Nara!

Guest UserChecking in can take a while, as the butler asks quite a few detailed questions and then gives a thorough introduction to the building and its various areas. Some staff members have good English, others not so much, which can sometimes make understanding difficult, but it doesn't significantly impact the overall experience.
The breakfast is exquisite. During the tail end of the Golden Week holiday, we had to queue for a table. The Japanese grilled fish was delicious, but other dishes were just okay. The Western options were decent and quite plentiful. The room was clean and tidy, and on our last day, we even saw deer chasing and playing in the courtyard.
The hotel has a distinct resort vibe, and Kengo Kuma's design features many highlights. It's a tranquil oasis in a bustling area, and the courtyard is beautifully maintained. Most guests seemed to be older, well-established families, with fewer young people. (As a 'workhorse' who needed to get some work done in the evening, I found there were no power outlets near the desk for my laptop, which really drove home the point that everyone else was truly here to relax and enjoy their vacation).
Overall, I had a very pleasant and comfortable holiday. It's a beautiful hotel and definitely worth experiencing.

Posted on Jun 30, 2026|Standard Twin Room - Smoking (2 Semi-Double Bed)
Guest UserThis hotel is conveniently located near both JR Nara Station and Kintetsu Nara Station. It's very clean, and the room was spacious and spotless. It's also a good distance from tourist attractions, which I really appreciated (¯﹀¯) After the typhoon passed, the weather was great and the scenery was wonderful.

Location is very strategic where it is near to Nara Station. You can walk to Nara Deer Park in 30 minutes and the Nara street in 2 minutes. Highly recommended
