Hot Springs Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

Matsuyama san is great, with patience and kindness, he explained everything in detail, we had a good start in this wonderful hotel. The food was offered in traditional Japanese style, 怀石料理，The service was impeccable. There are three hot springs in the hotel and next door, we enjoyed all of them. A great stay. Highly recommended.

Idealy located to visit Shigisan, a 5min walk from the entrance ! A very pleasant Onsen (indoor and Outdoor) is in the hotel. Note however that they don't serve diner and all restaurants are closed in the evening, so make sure you plan accordingly !

The hotel is next to the Nara station, it’s very good location. The staff are kind and nice, we asked about the route and restaurant recommendations, they are so helpful. The onsen in the hotel is good. Pyjamas and necessities are provided. Free alcohol drinks are also provided. All the check-in or entering room are in automatic mode. Good security for woman onsen zone with specific password to enter. I wish I could stay here again if I come back to Nara again.

Hotel was about 2 mins walk from the entrance of Nara park n the shopping district. Very good location. You could either walk 1.3km to the hotel from the JR station, or take a taxi which would cost around 1200yen. About 10 mins walk from the metro station. I stayed for 2 nights with breakfast and dinner inclusive. The Ryokan did take note n served us a different menu each day. There was also a small indoor n outdoor onsen in the Ryokan. The food was superb.

The room area is relatively large in Japan, the breakfast is also very rich, the hot spring is very comfortable, and there are four pools, which is considered a relatively large hot spring venue. About ten minutes' walk eastward, there is a comprehensive commercial building with a large supermarket on the first floor. After 7pm, sashimi and sushi are 50% off, making shopping very convenient.

I booked a twin room, but when I got there it turned out to be a double. I then contacted the front desk and was promptly shown to a twin room. The building, the room, and the large communal bath were all clean. The free drink bar was also nice. However, it was closed at night, which was inconvenient when I was thirsty. I know that the tap water in the bathroom is drinkable, but I'm not really comfortable with it, so if they just provided bottled water in the room I'd have no complaints. Overall it was a very good place to stay.

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.

The room is spacious and the bed is quite comfortable, but the pillow is too flat. The soundproofing effect is so-so, and the sound from the corridor can be clearly heard in the room. The air conditioner is loud. There are convenience stores, restaurants, 24-hour self-service laundry shops, and daily necessities supermarkets within 5-10 minutes. The neighborhood is quieter after dark, but safe. It takes only 5 minutes to walk to Kashihara Jingumae Station. The road is flat and you don't need to go up and down the elevator. There is a lounge on the 1st floor that provides snacks. From 8pm to 10pm, the hot spring bath will provide ”amazake”👍 But there is no self-service laundry and dry cleaning service. The bath is time-limited, not 24 hours. If you stay consecutively, you can request to clean the room every other day. The cleaning level is standard. There is a 2D Barcode on the information sheet to check the mixing situation of the bath.

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.

There are many local Japanese tourists. The overall decoration is not the latest, the height of the corridor and the layout of the room are mostly traditional. The service level is very Japanese, and every waiter is polite. There are not many people taking a bath, probably because of the diversion of private baths. Across the small road is the ruins of Heijo Palace, where you can run and walk in the wild, and the air is good. There is no business around the hotel, and it takes twelve minutes to walk to the subway station. Fortunately, the hotel provides dinner, and each meal is seven or eight dishes, which is very rich. Toshodaiji Temple is not open, but it is not far to walk, and it takes 20 minutes to get there.
