Hotels in Nara

The staff are fabulous, very attentive and customer focused. We had an outdoor private bath which was wonderful and highly recommended. Our one complaint is the beds (futon) they were very thin and hard. We did not sleep well.

This was such a unique experience. I enjoyed my stay and LOVED the in-room onsen tub. I only wish there was a larger safe in the room. It was on the smaller side, so I couldn’t fit my laptop in it.

The hotel is a little far from the JR station and requires a bus, but it is within walking distance to Kintetsu Nara Station. The location is right next to Todaiji Temple, and it is very convenient to Nara Park and other attractions. The hotel staff had a first-class service attitude, were very attentive, spoke fluent English, and patiently explained the hotel facilities and services. There are also...

Nice environment and clean rooms.

This ryokan was amazing, the food the location the atmosphere. The public sento in the building was beautiful and the private tub in our room was amazing as well. Perfect service, great amenities, we even got a little gift! I can only recommend this place if you're looking for something truly special. Get the dinner and breakfast here, trust me!!!

The hotel is a bit far from the subway station. It will be difficult to drag suitcases because there are slopes. I stayed in room 303 with an open-air hot spring. The environment of the room was quite good, but there was a wooden false ceiling above the hot spring pool, but birds often stayed there. If they pooped, they just fell into the hot spring... I saw bird droppings in the bathtub. In the end...

Staff is really friendly and helpful. Great central location. In walking distance of train station, restaurants, and tourist sites. Rooms are outdated, but clean and one of the few that allow 3 person occupancy. Only negative is AC struggled to keep room cool, but to be fair there was a July heat wave. A practical, budget friendly hotel.

Great place to stay beautiful breakfast

Good place to stay but the food is pricey.

Right near the entrance to Nara park and in between the two main train stations, this hotel was an absolute steal. The sofa bed for the third guest was a bit too firm for my taste, but I'm sure other people would enjoy it. Staff was super helpful and even carried or bags to our room, which made me feel a little bad because one of my bags was unreasonably heavy.

In a quaint town with a international breakfast spread.

Room with pond view room Loved it

Great location, very close to Nara Park, within walking distance. Downstairs there's a pedestrian street with plenty of food and shops. The room was quite spacious, but the carpet was a bit old and dirty. However, the location truly is excellent.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean, and I really liked the pajamas supplied by the hotel. The lounge was really welcoming, and I liked that you could get hot or iced coffee at any time of day there. The tea selection was also extensive. I also really liked the public bath in the basement. After a day of walking in the winter, nothing beats a soak in the...

The hotel is in a great location. The room is very nice, but with two main weaknesses: no hooks for towels, and no curtains so the sunlight will wake you up. The staff was very helpful in booking a restaurant for us, but very annoying at the end of our stay as they charged us 2000 yen when one of our bedroom cards fell in the bedroom into the space between the wooden floor and the wall! 😤😑

It’s good but have hard to to sleep on bed location is also good

My trip to Nara with my mom and sister was very close to Nara Kintetsu Station and the shopping street. There was a Starbucks and the shopping street downstairs. It was very convenient to go to various temples and parks to see the deer. The Japanese-style tatami was also provided by the staff during checkout. It was a wonderful memory.

Really clean and friendly staf

We were here for our honeymoon and they very nicely gave us free drinks at their bar. Convenient and nice stay, with deers just right outside the restaurant. Breakfast was great! Very nice room and good to have a laundry at the basement. We really liked our stay a lot.

I had a great stay at Miroku Nara by THE SHARE HOTELS — a stylish boutique hotel in a fantastic location! The hotel feels modern and thoughtfully designed, blending contemporary comfort with touches of local character.

Very nice location, spacious room and design fournitures

Very convenient. Clean and comfortable family room.

Very good location, but they have check-in at 15 and check-out at 10. For every hour over check-out time they charge extra money. It's ridiculous, I faced such a situation for the first time in a hotel.

Our room has 4 futon beds (tatami) which is comfortable to sleep in. The hotel has liquor like sake, coffee, soda water and snacks as welcome drinks for the guests which is a plus point. Distance from JR and Kintetsu train station is within 10min walking distance. On our way to the hotel we already saw some deers which is a nice surprise to us as we are yet to be near to the Nara Park.

The room was spacious for the price, and I was able to relax. I stayed in a twin room, but the firmness of the mattress on the bed suited me, so I slept well. If I could request something more, I would have appreciated being able to choose the height of the pillow.

Breakfast was good. Room so clean

The hotel is in a great location, about 10 minutes walk from the train station, and you can go to see the deer~ There is also a shopping mall nearby, which is convenient The hotel is also very clean and hygienic, and the bed sheets, bath towels and trash cans are changed every day. The breakfast is also great. Highly recommended!

The location of this hotel is hard to describe. Across the street is a Japanese cemetery. Don't stay here if you mind. It's a long way from Wakakusa Mountain, a certain distance from the station, and a little far from the bustling commercial street. The important thing is that this hotel sees that you are Chinese and can't speak Japanese. They are not enthusiastic at all and don't say hello when they...

This hotel is located in between the two train stations. It is on a busy road, but the sights are walkable. The room was large, and it was great to have a sitting area and space to relax. The furnishings are worn and dated. The onsen is a nice feature at the end of a long day. As were the free drinks in reception in the early evening. We enjoyed our stay.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Location near Nara Park. There is a souvenir shop at the G/F

My friend and I stayed in a twin room. We checked in late after returning from the Expo, but the receptionist's kind words helped us relax. We headed to the hotel from Kintetsu Nara Station, enjoying the beautiful cityscape. I'd definitely stay here again when I'm in Nara.

Good environment and good geographical conditions

The toilet is surprisingly clean, the staff is pretty and polite, and it's close to Nara Park and the temple market. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

My husband and I booked a standard room with a double bed on Ctrip. But when we got to the hotel, we were told that it was only for one person, and that two people would have to pay an extra 3,850 yen, about 200 yuan. I went to argue with Ctrip, but they were tough and official, saying it was my problem and that I didn't see the "one person" mark in a very small corner. I said I would give a bad...

The lobby is very beautiful. The tea bags provided in the room are unique. The room was upgraded to a standard room, which is spacious, but the bed is still a bit narrow at 1.2 meters. I don't like the thin quilt.

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...

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.

There are time restrictions for using the public hot spring. The advantage is its proximity to Todai-ji Temple. The service is quite good; the staff are polite and friendly. There are many small deer.

Very nice hotel. Will come back definitely.

You can see Todaiji Temple, a good family travel experience, a destination for two meals and one night.

The location of Kasuga Hotel is fantastic, right next to Nara Park, and close to Nara Station and a main shopping street. Major attractions like Todaiji Temple are just a 10-minute walk away, which is incredibly convenient! The rooms are spacious, the facilities are excellent, and the service is great! Highly recommend!

Excellent location, very convenient for all the main attractions. The service was attentive and thoughtful.

**Facilities:** Excellent and very well-equipped, plus they offer a fantastic, extensive breakfast spread. **Cleanliness:** Spotlessly clean! **Location:** You can see deer just a few steps outside the door, and it's incredibly convenient, being very close to the station. **Service:** The staff were incredibly patient, thoroughly explaining all the check-in information and important details. I absolutely...

The room is incredibly spacious, featuring three beds and a generous floor futon. It certainly lives up to its premium price tag (3000+). This Japanese-style tatami room comes with dual air conditioning, and the view from the window is quite lovely. There's also a communal hot spring bath. Kimonos and geta (wooden clogs) are provided, and you're welcome to wear them around the premises. They even thoughtfully...

The hotel boasts an excellent location, conveniently close to Nara Kintetsu Station and surrounded by numerous restaurants offering a diverse range of food options. It's also very near Nara Park, where you can easily spot the deer with just a short walk. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, and the meals served were also of good quality. A minor point for improvement would be the hallway...

Pleasant surroundings and a convenient location for exploring.

Really loved the whole experience! From the shuttle bus that was meticulously planned to all the activities available and the delicious selection of food. It would have been nice if they collected our dietary preferences / restrictions ahead of time though so we would have more time to review the available options.

Wonderful stay with excellent food, but a bizarre late-night experience We had a generally fantastic stay at ANDO Hotel Nara Wakakusayama. The dining experience was exceptional—both the breakfast and dinner were incredibly delicious and well-prepared. We also highly recommend the nighttime stargazing activity. The hotel thoughtfully provided warm tea for everyone during the session, which was a very...

The room was very quiet. The hotel also arranged to take us to the top of the mountain to see the stars. The food was also very good. There was also an outdoor private hot spring. My mother was very happy.

The Japanese-style hotel has a full Japanese style of architecture and decoration. The hot spring is very comfortable, the food is of five-star standard, and the Japanese service is extremely delicate and warm. I accidentally left my lotion in the room, and the hotel contacted me by phone in time and sent it to my next place with a handwritten letter. It was really touching.

A mountaintop hotel that you must stay in when you go to Nara. It has a good environment, good service, and a private hot spring on the top floor. The best thing is that the food here is so delicious. The free dinner is worth the room fee**

We had a comfortable stay at the hotel. Staffs are absolutely helpful and considerate, the star appreciation activity and marshmallow roasting are rare but enjoyable experience as well. Will definitely recommend it to my friends.

Very hard for foreigners to find the hole as the hotel name is not large and clear in English or Chinese. The carpark is not right outside or next to the hotel. It is a public paid carpark at over 100m away from the hotel name.

The hotel and room where nice and spacious, but we got a room with shared toilet which was not clear before booking. They made up for it offering a compensation, but still USD 200 for a shared toilet room sounds excessive

This was a simply magnificent Hotel. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the service was exceptional. The breakfast was superb and the roof top terrace amazing.

This is a truly beautiful hotel with a rich history. The front desk lady was incredibly nice. There's a deer park downstairs. And the view from the window is breathtaking. It was absolutely wonderful.

I really liked the hotel, it is located in the historical center and right at the entrance to the Nara Park with deer. By the way, the deer themselves also wander near the hotel territory. The service at the hotel did not disappoint, the employees are very welcoming. The breakfasts were very surprising (each guest has their own cuisine). I am sure that we will come back again

The room is old, but it is not bad. The location is good. The breakfast seems rich but it is simple. The service is good.

Can't say enough how much my family loved our stay in this inn! Service was so warm, attentive, and polite right from the start. Our family room for 4 was unexpectedly huge, with a little adjourning sitting area. The bathroom comprised 3 separate areas - 1. A toilet with just the toiletbowl separated from the main bathroom with a door; 2. A separate room with bathtub and shower, sink, and a toiletbowl...

This hotel has an excellent location, and the staff are wonderfully kind and welcoming. We had the pleasure of staying in a traditional Japanese-style room, which made for a truly memorable experience. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and inviting. The public bath was relaxing. The food was absolutely delightful. It’s absolutely worth staying here—we recommend it!

A classic Japanese-style hotel, conveniently located near the Kintetsu Station. Nara Park is also not far away. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and very clean. The two bathrooms are very nice, and the shower gel and shampoo are high-quality Pola. The dinner was delicious and filling, with a wide variety of dishes. The breakfast was also very good. Overall, I was very satisfied and would definitely stay...

A wonderful hotel not far from the station and from Nara Park, clean, beautiful, expensive. I especially liked the public bath. But the room was different from the picture and it was disappointing, because for a photo as a souvenir I wanted exactly this room.

Location close to the park, delicious dinner, good onsen.

This ryokan inn is very well located in Nara for the JRKintetsu trains, eateries, shopping - and a short walk to Nara Park. It is very quiet & clean. The room & sitting area are sufficient, but the bathroom is a bit small - no problem, as we mostly used the onsen. The communal bath is clean & has all the necessary amenities - so welcome after hiking all day. The staff are friendly & helpful. There...

Great, Nara was very comfortable.

The service and environment were impeccable. The hotel is conveniently located with a shuttle bus between Kintetsu Nara Station and JR Station. Situated halfway up Mount Wakakusa, the hotel offers beautiful views of Nara's nightscape, and I even encountered deer on the street outside in the morning. The onsen (hot spring) was comfortable and not crowded; it was perfect for going in the morning and...

The hotel information center is located at Exit 5 of the Kintetsu Nara Station; you can wait for the hotel shuttle bus there. After check-out, you can choose to have the shuttle bus take you to the vicinity of Todai-ji Temple, and your luggage will be delivered to the information center at 11:00 AM. After visiting Todai-ji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, and Nara Park, you can retrieve your luggage from...

We stayed at Mikasa Ryokan (万葉若草の宿 三笠旅館) in Nara, and overall it was a great experience — but there are definitely some things you should know and plan for in advance. 🏞 1. Location & Transportation The ryokan is located halfway up Mount Wakakusa, with beautiful views over Nara city — the scenery is stunning, especially at night. But getting up and down the mountain isn’t very convenient. At first...

An older restaurant, well maintained. There is a dedicated connection point at Kintetsu, and the overall service is good. But the waiters in Taiwan Province are quite indifferent. The point is that the food is not good, too formal, and the taste is not good.

This is my second time there. The accommodation is OK, but the Kaiseki cuisine is just so-so. It is suitable for a family trip. I chose this one because it offers free parking!

If you like Japanese traditional house , here is what you are looking for

Quite far from JR Station, walking along 20mins, location Naramachi feel quite.The hotel haven’t onsen anyway there’ve information in the room, walking 8 mins to local onsen a bit late close on 23.00.

Very clean. Very safe. Great location

Very clean. Very safe. Great location

Read this review carefully because it provides a very specific insight. Good things first. Very clean and amazing planning of the place. I loved the garden. Also, nice to have a well water spot with coffee and tea. You can leave your luggage at the counter and go walking till checking-in. I got 110 small dorm. Bedding was great. Each bed had a rest area for work. Bad things. I was given bed #1, which...

We were 6 friends group and we booked this place . Buy for us look scary .

The hotel staff were very kind, but it would have been easier to go directly to the hotel than to book through this website!

I had some trouble finding the room number when parking my car, but the room was clean and very nice.

The hotel is nice, very spacious, you can do karaoke in the room, the service is friendly.

Excellent clean and very large rooms for Japanese standards

The room was spacious and clean.

Is the volume control on your TV not working?

The service, hospitality, facility, and overall experience was great for the price! The seasonal meat dinner was a little disappointing, but the breakfast buffet was satisfactory. The highlight of my stay was the public and private open air onsen.

The shuttle bus made it easy to get to the hotel. The hot springs were comfortable and the dinner was delicious. There were no slippers in the room, so I contacted them and they brought them right to my room. I only stayed one night, but I had a relaxing time.

The hotel is within walking distance of Kintetsu Yamato-Saidaiji Station and is also in a great location, just 3-4 minutes from Heijo Ruins Park. It's also perfectly located for soaking in hot springs, which are extremely rare in Nara City. The downside is that the facilities are old, and there are issues with facility management and maintenance, such as room and bathroom locks not locking in some...

I stayed here with my parents and for a dinner party after the shrine visit. The food was delicious, and the interior is very clean after the renovation. The staff were also kind and we had a comfortable stay. It would have been very helpful if there was a shuttle bus on the way back.

Very atmospheric. Great kaiseki dinner. Delicious breakfast. Wonderful staff.

We went during cherry blossom season, so the price was a bit steep, but the quiet, natural surroundings made it a great place to relax. The hotel has a hot spring and an open-air bath, which is nice. You can reserve meals in advance and enjoy a course meal for dinner and a buffet-style breakfast. And late at night, the hotel's main entrance seems to be closed. I wasn't given an explanation, so I was...

We used it for a New Year's party. Because it is far from the station, we requested a shuttle bus. Thank you for accommodating our food allergies. We were limited to two hours, and the food kept coming out one after the other, so it was a little disappointing that we couldn't relax.

I'm glad that the carpentry alumni association Nara branch general meeting was held for the first time in three years.

68 minutes from Kashihara City to the hotel by left private car. From the Kenchōhigashi intersection, head toward Kyoto, and turn left at the Todaiji Tengaimon traffic light. After crossing 3 traffic lights, there is a narrow road in front of the hotel, there is no traffic light here. As soon as you turn right, the parking lot will be on your left. Walk down the street next to the hotel and enter through...

When I heard that it was run by the Public School Mutual Aid Association, I was surprised at the high quality. In particular, the meals used a lot of local products and were delicious. I am planning to visit you again.

Very nice Italian restaurant! In love of the pizza! The only not awesome thing for me it was the Parma ham

The dinner preparations took much too long however the food was delicious.

Good location - close to train station. Has supermarket / cafe nearby. Can walk to the Nara attractions. Price is good

The luggage storage service was very helpful. It was close to Kintetsu Nara Station and in the shopping district, so even though I was staying overnight, I didn't have any trouble finding food and it was very comfortable.

It's about a one-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station. It's located in the shopping district, so it's very convenient. It's an old-fashioned hotel, but it's comfortable and has all the amenities you need. It doesn't have the typical Nara feel, so if that's what you're looking for, I don't think it's the right choice. However, the front desk staff were very friendly and even let me store my luggage...

This is my second stay. The location is excellent, close to the station. The staff are very friendly.

It is very close to Kintetsu Nara Station. The hotel is located in an alley full of food shops, drug stores, and supermarkets. Tourists from the surrounding area come here to eat and there is a queue at mealtime.

The receptionist was very welcoming and made great efforts to overcome the language barrier.

We really loved the hotel. The service was excellent, and the room cleaning was perfect. If you’re interested, our room was very spacious with a gorgeous bathroom, fully stocked with all the toiletries and even pajamas. There was also a massage chair and every possible comfort — simply amazing. It’s about a 20-minute walk from the metro; maybe there are some bus routes, but we used the metro. Overall...

The hotel room was incredibly spacious and well-equipped, definitely the largest and most complete I stayed in during my Kansai trip. And all for just about $44 (based on the exchange rate on November 19, 2025)! However, the hotel's location is quite out of the way; it's about a 30-minute walk to the nearest subway station, and the closest bus only comes around after a long wait. Plus, there's a cemetery...

The room was surprisingly spacious for Japan, and it even had a massage chair. The location is more convenient if you're traveling by car.

The room is very well equipped. The room is big and well lighted. It comes with ionizer, massage chair, fridge, TV with free movie and microwave. The bathroom comes with a Japanese style shower and a jacuzzi. The service is good at both the front desk, they make up the room daily and the room service is fast. Most importantly, for what we are getting, it is certainly value for money and it comes with...

nice hotel, clean and big room, friendly staff, the housekeeping is everyday, will be back again soon

Excellent stay! The breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were attentive and meticulous. The room was huge, especially by Japanese standards – incredibly spacious and a rare find. It truly felt like a secluded paradise.

I came with my small children. Thank you for treating my children so kindly and courteously. I bought a discount ticket to a nearby hot spring facility, but my small child became ill so we had to postpone it this time. However, I would definitely like to use it next time.

It was a large hotel with good service. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, but be aware that many of them close late at night. The breakfast was also sumptuous.

The hotel room is big and the breakfast is simple but delicious. The location is a little off the beaten track, but the surrounding facilities are very complete, with supermarkets, drugstores, Don Quijote and various restaurants just outside. There is also a hot spring in the building where the hotel is located, but it costs extra. There is also a bus in front of the main entrance of the hotel. It...

Convinient for visiting companies in Keihanna Science City. Note: the closest bus stop is not Keihanna Plaza but ATR.

A wonderful hotel in the heart of Nara Park. The service is top-notch! There's an onsen to relax in after a day of hiking in the surrounding area.

Very satisfied, especially the breakfast can be packed and eaten on the mountain. Enjoy this Wakakusa Mountain alone.

After taking the subway to Nara Station, you need to take a taxi to get to the hotel. The hotel is opposite Wakakusa Mountain, and there are deer outside. The hotel is a traditional Japanese hotel with a very Japanese style. It is recommended for friends who like Japanese style. But remember that children are also considered people. Don't book only 2 adults for two adults and one child. The hotel can...

Stayed one night with two meals and really liked this hotel. The service is very thoughtful. Although it is a historical place, it is very clean. The hot spring room is not big, but I was the only one using it both times, so I felt comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were served in the room. Not many hotels offer such service in the room nowadays. The food tasted good but the portion was a bit too big...

It was a very good stay experience. It is right in the park and you can walk to Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. The food and accommodation at the hotel are very good, very clean, and the hot spring is very comfortable. I will recommend it to others.

The hotel is located on the hillside next to the main hall of Kasuga Shrine. The entrance is Mount Rukusa. When you enter the tatami-style room, you will see green trees outside the window. The overall location is very good! The public hot spring and the indoor bath are not very big, but probably because there are not many guests, I was the only one using it, so it feels good. The overall service is...
