2-Star Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

There are deer at the door and Mount Wakakusa next to it. It is very close to various attractions. Although the boss does not speak the language, he is very enthusiastic and gave me a map. There is a public restaurant, toilet, and shower. The room is clean. There are deer outside the window. It's just that it's a mountain road. I was exhausted from pulling the luggage. I searched for a long time and found it on a big staircase.

About 7 minutes walk from the three-wheel station. Room. Toilet. The bathroom is very clean and comfortable. The toilet is only one meter away from the room. It is not in the room. The house is very Japanese. The breakfast is very delicious. The owner is very kind. Enthusiasm. Can help you answer relevant travel questions. Very comfortable travel experience. Recommend everyone to live.

Check-in after 15:00. The staff are very friendly, including those who speak English at a sufficient level so that you can understand each other without a translator. The room is spacious, heated/cooled by air conditioning. There is also a kotatsu, under which it is very comfortable to sit, a tea set, including a kettle. Yukata and khvori are very beautiful and comfortable. In the room there is also a memo for foreigners on the correct visit to the onsen (be sure to read it, this is important). There are only two onsen - one large with a view of the river (there are curtains) and one smaller without windows. The water is moderately hot, not scalding. As a dinner, kaiseki was provided with a change of dishes - it was very tasty and VERY much (honestly, we could not eat everything, since we usually eat much less, for which we apologize to the staff)

I enjoyed the chartered state by saying that it was the end of the consecutive holidays. The inn is also kind and nothing to say. I wish the amenities were a little more substantial.

The Japanese-style room of the hotel is just a tatami, which can accommodate up to four people. It comes with a small bathroom with old equipment, but the hygiene is acceptable. This is the only time I didn't flush the toilet seat during my 12-day trip to Japan. Fortunately, I only stayed for one night. And it is right in the scenic area, the location is very convenient, down the slope behind the famous restaurant Kikusui-ro, and adjacent to Sarusawa. Kintetsu Station and Kintetsu Station Commercial Street are only a few steps away. The first time I went to Nara, I stayed at JR Nara Station, which is a little far from Nara Park. This time I chose Kintetsu Nara Station on purpose. Next time I come to Nara, I guess I won't choose to stay there, I will stay in Osaka or Kyoto.

翌朝一番の電車で吉野駅まで行って吉野山の桜を見ようと素泊まりで止まりました。和室の部屋を予約しましたが、部屋の中は一通り必要な物は全部そろっていて、トイレとお風呂は共同ですが、新しい設備でとても綺麗でした。チェックアウトは早朝は鍵を置いて出ていけばよいとのことで朝6時には宿をたち、予定通り朝一番の電車で吉野まで行けました。まだ人の少ない吉野山を朝靄の中登り始められ、午前中には吉野山の桜を満喫できました。１つだけ、朝コーヒーを飲もうと部屋のポットで作りましたが、すでにぬるくなっていて、共有スペースにあるポットは電源が入っておらず水でした。しょうがないので、ぬるく作ったコーヒーを共有スペースにある電子レンジで温めて飲みました。共有スペースのポットでお湯が飲めたらよかったなあと思いました。

Transportation: 8-9 minutes away from the bus station, a little far, especially at night, the road is very dark. Service: Very enthusiastic, there is a Chinese-speaking front desk receptionist, and the young sister is very considerate. Another sister from Northeast China is also enthusiastic but a little less professional, and what she said can't be justified. For example, I changed from a cheap but convenient hotel to live here because I saw the view outside the window of the website picture, but the allocation was the back without a view. I asked how to book the view side, she said it had to be six months in advance, but the booking website did not distinguish between the back and the view side, so there was no choice. I don’t know who can get the view side. If I knew there was no view, why would I book here? Facilities: Because it is a county guesthouse in the 70s, even after renovation, many facilities are inconvenient, such as why there is no sink in the bathroom, but it is placed on the balcony? ! For example, the shower design is problematic, and the refrigerator is not refrigerated in the end, and the ice cream I bought is completely melted. The tatami mattress itself is OK, but it is too hard to stand up. I am not used to this, so it is better to live in a bed. Environment: It is near Nara Park, close to Kofuku-ji Temple (under renovation) and a pond (this pond is very common in China, but it is also a sight here). I stayed here because I heard someone recommend it, but I was not as satisfied as I imagined. It may be more suitable for older people or families. Young people traveling alone can still have more convenient and affordable hotel options.

The location is right in the shopping street and also at the Kintetsu exit, it is only 15 minutes to go to the park. The staff is warm and courteous, the hot springs are fine but quiet enough. The hotel is old but tidy, there is no daily necessities except old towels, including a blow dryer in the hot spring area, and there is nothing towels lock. Of course, this price can't be too much, remember this is a hotel. I was impressed by the invincible location and courteous staff, I can't say whether I like it or not.

Great place, very friendly staff. The master's son speaks English perfectly! Very cozy Rikan with a small but beautiful Onsen. Kaiseki's dinner was very enjoyable!

We really appreciated the stay at the old traditionnal timber house, everything is kept in its style. The lifestyle also is part of the house : everyone is playing the game, being very silent and respectful, sharing a very nice traditionnal kitchen. The house may miss one more shower but it still works. I totally recommand the experience !!
