Hot Springs Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

Apart from the room being a bit on the small side, everything else was excellent. This is a hot spring hotel where guests wear provided robes/yukata and remove their shoes. It's very baby-friendly: they offered a set of baby clothes and toiletries, and high chairs were available in the dining area. Dinner consisted of soy sauce noodles and drinks. Breakfast was generous, featuring a variety of Nara specialties served in many small dishes. The hot springs are located on the first floor, with separate facilities for men and women. Indoors, there are warm and cold pools, and outdoors, there's an open-air bath, along with a sauna. Showers are available after your soak. It's advised that infants and young children avoid the very hot or very cold springs; a simple shower is sufficient for them. Outside the onsen, you can enjoy popsicles and read manga, which kids will particularly enjoy.

The traditional Japanese room exceeded my expectations. Compared with hotels in downtown Kyoto, it is cost-effective, close to attractions, and has a good environment. The hotel's hot spring water is great and good for health. Compared with public open-air, indoor, and private reserved baths, I prefer the open-air bath, which is more comfortable and not easy to suffocate. The private reservation is a bit tight with 40 minutes, and the water feels a bit unclean when I go there at night. I don't know if the water can be changed every time. All the products provided are Pola, and some locals go there. I will sweat after a while after taking a bath. The free herbal tea provided on the first floor is also very comfortable. I will go there next time. The five-story pagoda is under repair, which affects the view a bit.

It is located quite far away, it is difficult to combine it with a trip to any attractions. In winter, buses go to the village only a few times a day, and the village itself looks deserted. But the hotel itself is great. Wooden building, but everything is in very good condition. 2 onsen, one with a view of a beautiful small garden. On the 2nd floor there is a chill zone with cool acoustics. Despite the minus outside, it was warm. Well, the full set: traditional rooms with tatami and futons, traditional clothing, cool dinner / breakfast. There are places to walk in the area, so it might be a good idea to stay here for a couple of nights, but probably not in winter.

Excellent room, neat and clean. They got everything you need in the self serve counter, facial cleanser, toner, you name it they have it. Big bath tub and super comfy bed. Extraordinarily buffet breakfast and good position, right next to Nara station. One more thing to mention is their services, better than any other place.

I chose to stay in the Japanese room of Kasuga Hotel again, which says it all. Convenient transportation, complete facilities, hot spring bath, coffee shop in the lobby on the first floor, 24-hour free coffee, drinks, small refreshments, etc., Japanese breakfast and dinner are very rich, 10 minutes walk from Todaiji Kasuga Taisha, 3 minutes walk from Kintetsu Nara Station, and there are restaurants, snack bars, sushi restaurants, supermarkets, etc. on the commercial street next to it. Highly recommended.

Very good experience, the room is very large, and there is a private soup. Every day, I soak in the private soup and watch the snow scene, it is like a fairyland on earth! Breakfast and dinner are very rich!

The staff's customer service attitude was good. The building was also clean and tidy, and left a good impression with its cleanliness. There was a discrepancy when checking the reservation status, but a satisfactory explanation was given and I was able to check in without any problems. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfactory, and the rice in particular was delicious, and I really felt the benefits of ”Gorogoro Mizu.” The only thing that was disappointing was the loud creaking sound made by the indoor toilet door when it was opened and closed. The hot spring was also well kept, and I enjoyed my morning bath. It was great.

This is my second time staying at this hotel, and it's always child-friendly and highly rated. The rates are reasonable, and the surrounding area is great for shopping, leisure, and entertainment. I think it would be even better if there was a place to buy souvenirs inside the hotel.

I enjoyed the chartered state by saying that it was the end of the consecutive holidays. The inn is also kind and nothing to say. I wish the amenities were a little more substantial.

Check-in after 15:00. The staff are very friendly, including those who speak English at a sufficient level so that you can understand each other without a translator. The room is spacious, heated/cooled by air conditioning. There is also a kotatsu, under which it is very comfortable to sit, a tea set, including a kettle. Yukata and khvori are very beautiful and comfortable. In the room there is also a memo for foreigners on the correct visit to the onsen (be sure to read it, this is important). There are only two onsen - one large with a view of the river (there are curtains) and one smaller without windows. The water is moderately hot, not scalding. As a dinner, kaiseki was provided with a change of dishes - it was very tasty and VERY much (honestly, we could not eat everything, since we usually eat much less, for which we apologize to the staff)
