奈良旅館別館 Sweet 螢 源, hotel in Nara

Located in Nara and with Nara Station reachable within 800 metres, 奈良旅館別館 Sweet 螢 源 provides a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a restaurant.

The meal was inspirational and the chef was so kind and carefully explained all the dishes to my wife and I, even though we spoke no Japanese. The passion and love show in each dish. The room is hyper modern, I was blown away. The open air bath was blissful, and all the little touches like free snacks,beer, ramen etc The other staff were kind and helpful and brought my wife some items she needed ASAP.

NARAigoto EENA HOUSE, hotel in Nara

Located in Nara, 20 km from Iwafune Shrine and 24 km from Higashiosaka Hanazono Rugby Stadium, NARAigoto EENA HOUSE offers a garden and air conditioning.

Hisae is an extremely warm, attentive and welcoming host. When we arrived, she welcomed us with a cup of tea, explained how the house worked and gave us several recommendations (restaurants, sake tasting, etc.). She was there for us at all times, with any questions, and made us feel very welcome. The house is a renovated machiya in the heart of Nara's old town. It really did feel like home. There's a bus stop just a 1-minute walk away, serving all the main points in town. Very useful for visiting Nara. We also took part in a Japanese calligraphy course with an instructor and Hisae, who guided us through each stage of the learning process. We had a magical time, which will remain engraved in our memory. We would definitely recommend staying at the NARAigoto EENA HOUSE and the activities on offer. Many thanks, Hisae!

Nara Top Sights 5 to 20 Min Walk, hotel in Nara

A recently renovated apartment located in Nara, Nara Top Sights 5 to 20 Min Walk features a garden. The air-conditioned accommodation is 1.9 km from Nara Station.

The best stay ever! A very lovely house, everything in the house is carefully designed, and all the things you need are available. There is a small garden, but unfortunately it is too hot ouside, otherwise it would be very pleasant to have a tea in the garden. The two double beds in the bedroom are spacious enough to accommodate four people, and the tatami room can also accommodate two more. Finally, I'd like to say sorry to the landlord. When I checked in, I had trouble because I mis-input the entery code, which caused the landlord to send someone over to assist.

Set within 1.5 km of Nara Station and 19 km of Iwafune Shrine, Nara Ryokan - Vacation STAY 49547v offers rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Nara.

It was our first time staying in a Ryokan, and we were rather nervous that we'd wind up breaking all the rules, especially because out Japanese wasnt very good. But the instructions were so easy to follow, and in the end, it was an incredibly relaxing stay, especially since we had a beautiful private onsen to use every night. The park is right nearby, and a short, mostly undercover walk to Kintetsu-Nara station makes it perfectly situated!

HAT byakugoji, Japanese traditional fireplace HAT白毫寺 自然豊富な別荘地にある囲炉裏付き一軒家, hotel in Nara

Located in Nara, 4.8 km from Nara Station and 23 km from Iwafune Shrine, HAT byakugoji, Japanese traditional fireplace HAT白毫寺 自然豊富な別荘地にある囲炉裏付き一軒家 offers air conditioning.

One of the best experiences we've had on our trip to Japan. The house is located in the mountain with a limited access (only car) as it's on a toll road. Owners were extremely nice, sweet and helpful. They gave us a lot of tips and tricks for Nara (which we used) so we had even better experience. Very easy to communicate with owners, they text back very quickly and are very nice. The house is very well equipped, the fireplace is amazing, you can easily prepare a hotpot or grill some fish or steaks (owners have amazing equipment for both). The house is equipped with a traditional Japan style hottub which is a must try! The house was very nice and clean, enough space for everything, nice kitchen, living room and beautiful view. Bathroom was spacious and clean. Traditional bedrooms were very comfortable. We really enjoyed staying in this accommodation! Definitely worth it!

    We booked this hotel because it was conveniently close to the railway station, was relatively inexpensive and had positive reviews. We enjoyed staying there. The staff were friendly. The location was good (a little away from the busy tourist area) and the hotel was very clean and had good amenities. The onsen was excellent, as was the massage chair. We were walking distance from great places to eat too.

    Location was ideal: adjacent to the JR Nara station, yet isolated from the hustle bustle. A well-appointed grocery store was nearby as was a Starbucks located in a historic building. Hotel was similar to other 3-Star accommodations in Japan; compact yet full of modern amenities. Property was recently rebranded as a Spa, yet I didn’t take advantage of low-cost public bathing facility. Having a separate laundromat with microwave and beverage machine were added bonuses. Room had a work desk. WiFi was robust.

    Amazing location in the middle of the deer park.I reserved a room that had views with the deer often grazing outside the window, which was magical! The cost of this place was excellent for a solo traveller trying to keep a low budget. Although compromising on cost, the Inn was still very clean and had a very nice atmosphere.

    it’s very clean, spacious and secure. It is in great central location to all attractions and food so walking is very ideal. The property has all facilities that we need to live comfortably. The design is also very nice, especially for those who like to experience a typical Japanese house. There is a mixture of traditional and modern rooms. The host is also very friendly and nice. They speak great English.
