The room is spacious and we love the Japanese style so much. So clean! However it would be perfect if the windows have blackout curtains or sample curtains. The Japanese paper curtains really can’t block the sunlight during morning. We woke up early by the sunlight.

Touch of Old Japan

An older hotel but the accommodations were fine. Staff was friendly and the room had two levels - the upstairs had western style beds. Breakfast was good.

Popular with locals

Hotel is a short distance walk from Nara station and well connected with buses to major attractions. Check in was smooth as staff speak English. Room is spacious however it looks a little old. The bed was hard (as compared to western hotels) and it seems consistent with Japanese hotels however it was too hard for me to sleep well. Breakfast was prefect with both western and japanese selections, in fact it tastes better than 5-star international hotels in my view. I see why this hotel is so popular with locals.
