Some things may be a little outdated in the Nara Visitor Center & Inn but it is the best bang for your buck in town & the staff was outstanding - so friendly & helpful! I’m so glad we decided to spend a couple of days in Nara instead of just doing it as the day trip that it is so often marketed as. Nara is it’s own destination & my favorite part of my whole whirlwind journey through Japan.
Location, staff, facilities are excellent. Stayed in Japanese room was brilliant. Only downside was a little aged and as a municipal building labels on everything. But the best value for money hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
Staff helped us to get a refund from expedia, sleeping on the floor was very challenging for myself, girl friend was fine but we decided to leave. Staff was incredibly helpful, would recommend to any traveller.
Japanese room was a cool experience. Very close to deer park. Can buy the deer crackers at convenience store downstairs. Cosplay was fun. Origami folding was great too
Extremely kind and friendly staff who were very knowledgeable about Nara and tourist destinations. Hotel was in a great location and would gladly stay again.
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!
All staff were very helpful. We enjoyed origami and calligraphy that the staff showed how to.
Tea ceremony was great, too. We definitely stay again next time.
