We spent 15 days in Japan and this hotel was without a doubt our best stay of all!!! The hotel is absolutely immaculate — super clean, modern, with a huge and very comfortable room! An incredible view!! Pure luxury! Fantastic bathroom products, a very large bathroom with the toilet and shower separated — truly a dream room! The staff were all amazing, super friendly, and there was free parking right in front of the hotel! Breakfast itself was a whole experience!! Delicious bread and croissants, a Japanese set with fantastic food, great coffee, fresh juices, and local teas! I could go on all day praising this hotel — it was truly incredible, and definitely one I’d love to repeat someday.

Exceeded my expectations and was gutted we were only here for the night. Brilliant location in Nara - close to both stations. The facilities were really good with a washing machine and drying rack. The bathroom was a lovely size. The place was perfect for us and our son. Loved the pyjamas!

Offering free private parking, this 3-star holiday home also features free WiFi. The holiday home offers bed linen, towels and laundry service. This is an amazing property and we loved staying in a traditional Japanese townhouse, in a quiet part of town. I was travelling with my husband and 3 adult children in early April. The location is great for walking into Nara (10-15 mins). We arrived in the evening and it was lovely that our host had put the heating on for us and it was easy to retrieve the keys from the key safe. It was a bonus to find there are 2 toilets and 2 hand washing basins in the property. We all agreed that the shower is the most powerful shower we have ever come across - amazing. All the beds were large doubles and very comfortable. We stayed for 4 nights and our host had left lots of extra towels for us (far more than we chose to use). We liked that the bedrooms could also be heated in the evening, if needed. I used the washing machine and the instructions in English were helpful. There were lots of hanging rails to dry clothes on. The kitchen was well equipped and had more than we needed to reheat meals from the convenience store or to make snacks. For the rest of our stay in Japan we stayed in aparthotels in family suites. I was great to have so much room to spread out in for a few days. I highly recommend this property.

A recently renovated guest house situated in Nara, THE KAKU Exclusive suite & Residence features an open-air bath. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.4 km from Nara Station. The care we had and the attention to detail in how this house is finished is exceptional. Perfect location for exploring Nara, we also loved the easy connection by train to Kyoto and Osaka. Many booking venues say they are exclusive, but this one truly was. Worth the money we paid…

Located in Ikoma, 8.9 km from Higashiosaka Hanazono Rugby Stadium, Shiroyama Ryokan features accommodation with a hot tub. The 3-star ryokan features mountain views and is 8.8 km from Iwafune Shrine. The ryokan provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. I like it’s a small traditional Japanese family style hotel located in the middle of the mountain that’s still close to the town Ikoma by driving. The clear city view from the tea room is spectacular: we enjoyed the sight of the town with the high elevation and mountain range close by. The warm city lights at night and neighboring beautiful cherry blossoms and magnolia blended in the background of green hills under daylight are memorable. The host is also very accommodating: she speaks English and understands us well without too much trouble. On top of making arrangements for tea ceremony and kimono fitting (of course with additional charge), she can provide very good traditional Japanese breakfast. We didn’t try dinner there but I am sure it would be good. It’s about an hour drive away from Nara, Osaka, Tokyo, and other major cities in Kansai. Would highly recommend to people who want to experience what want to explore the city at daytime but want to experience a different vibe to stay outside of the city area at night.

This is an original Ryokan still run by the same family. It far exceeded my expectations. What a lovely host. I was greeted warmly and given special attention to help me with my following day's plans to walk the Yamanobe Road. The Ryokan itself is perfectly situated close to Omiwa Shrine and the start of the journey. My tatami floor room had two parts, so it was not only spacious but beautifully and traditionally arranged with tremendous grace. The garden was right outside my room, immaculate and beautiful. I was treated to an excellent private hot spa bath in the evening, making it just the perfect stay.
