Location: The hotel boasts a prime location near Todaiji Temple and Nara Park, making it a convenient base for sightseeing. Guests appreciate the proximity to key attractions, though it is a bit of a walk from Nara Kintetsu station, roughly 15-20 minutes on foot.(based on 6 reviews)

It’s very near toudaiji & Nara park. However it’s little bit far from the Nara Kintetsu station, it would take about 15-20 minutes by walking. The room & building are extremely clean. I recommend the top level of the hotel, you can see the beautiful view and there would be an exotic atmosphere at night.

Not at the best location, however probably the greatest experience with the hotel. Though I stayed for one night only, but I enjoyed every moment in the hotel from the lobby, room and even the hot bath. From the attached photos, you can probably feel how beautiful this hotel is.

The children experienced a traditional Japanese tatami room and their own private outdoor hot spring. The hotel rooftop was beautiful, and there was also complimentary, incredibly delicious Japanese matcha. It's a 3-minute walk from Todai-ji Temple. Todai-ji is the most beautiful area in Nara Park during autumn.

We went by car! There was a parking lot where guests could park for free. The location was also great, as it was only about a 15-minute walk to Todaiji Temple. We booked a room with dinner and breakfast included, and both were delicious and very satisfying (;;) They provided petit cakes in the evening, which we enjoyed eating while doodling in our memory notebook! They even have a hot spring! The inside of the hotel was very clean, and everything was great, so we were very satisfied! If I come to Nara again, I'd love to stay here!

The room was lovely and clean. The hot springs were also very good. It was within walking distance from Kintetsu Nara Station.
