The hot spring hotel I stayed at for Mount Yoshino has a very advantageous location, just a few steps away from Kashihara Jingu Station (East Exit); the hotel's service is very warm, with free welcome sparkling wine, beer, coffee, tea, various drinks and snacks in the lobby lounge from 3pm to 6pm, and homemade cocktails from 9pm to 23pm (there are a variety of fine wines to choose from/whiskey, brandy, shochu and other spirits, as well as various fruit wines such as sakura wine, orange wine, lemon wine, and a variety of snacks... Especially when you come back from cherry blossom viewing in Mount Yoshino for a day, after the hot spring at night, you can mix a cocktail of your own choice with friends in the lounge, which is pleasing to the eyes and take a rest. What a comfortable and romantic travel life!
Thanks to Grammar Garden Nara Kashihara, we had a pleasant and unforgettable two days and two nights in Yoshino Mountain and Imai Town! And thank you to the hotel's warm and thoughtful staff!
Good service and Nice breakfast,I appreciate the front desk staff Mone, the staff (male), and the restaurant staff! They are very helpful. First, We missed the shuttle bus at first day about 3:01pm, he saw the bus just had gone and he ran to catch and stopped it. Then we got up late at the second day, the last order should be 9:30pm.but we forgot the time, they still let us to take the breakfast. Last , Mone always keep her smiling face to help booking the taxi and packing our gift, and also introducing the surrounding scenic spot. Thank you so much!
The hotel can help to call the car, there is a public female soup on the first floor, no attempt, by the railway, the sound of sleeping is still a bit noisy, breakfast is OK, the hotel is delicious, the type is nothing, very close to the station South Exit or East Exit can be seen as soon as you go out. There are 711 nearby.
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.
I have to say it is the best reservation along the Kohechi Route. Very friendly and helpful staffs, yummy foods, super clean and huge onsen with very good facilities provided and it’s only me. super over expected. fully recommand!better than any one in totsukawa onsen, its really a value for money choice.
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.
A very new hotel near Yamato-Yagi Station. The front desk is very welcoming and the room is very clean. The breakfast is average. There is a barbecue restaurant near the station that is really cheap and tasty. The local beef in Nara is so delicious that it melts in your mouth. It is also very convenient to go to the surrounding attractions
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.
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 !
Great

GGuest UserFirst of all, the service staff is warm and thoughtful, and the attitude is amiable! Tell the precautions, the hotel is clean and hygienic, and the quilt is covered by yourself. The bathroom in the bath is particularly clean. Every guest is very conscious. Try to control yourself and not disturb others. It is really great!
EeddiehappyA hotel full of history as it has been the chosen venue for important events in Nara. Many celebrities had stayed in this hotel including Albert Einstein. Tried the rice lager at the tea house which is very good tgough some may find it not strong enough. The vicinity is nice. It is within waljing distance of the famous Nara Park. The room is spacious. Shuttle bus service to Nara station is excellent. Very helpful staff. An enjoyable stay indeed!
GGoh Li ShanNara Visitor Centre and Inn is charming place located right next to Sarasuwa pond. It is about 7 mins walk from the Kintetsu Nara station. Very near to Kofukuji temple. I stayed from 15-17 June 2023.
I felt warmly received by the staff on duty at the inn. Quite a lot of them are Mandarin and English speaking. I really appreciate one of the elderly gentleman’s staff warmth when he took the time to explain to me the attractions around the inn that I can visit, and he speaks Mandarin very well! I also appreciate the other staff’s eagerness to assist when I asked them questions about tours or to recommend places for breakfast.
A shoutout also to Yukina, who entertained me when I wanted to do the cosplay and Japanese calligraphy. I also really enjoyed the Japanese dance activity provided during my stay. I really enjoyed my stay here :)
I booked a Japanese style room, 8 tatami mats. Spacious for 1. Toiletries provided are sufficient. view from the room showed Kofukuji temple but was blocked by a tree. The only issue I had was that I was given the room at the end of the corridor. I personally preferred not to have a room at end of corridor for personal reasons, but the room was bright, airy and comfortable, and I was happy with it so did not request for a change.
KKinglumLoved the hotel!! It’s in the center of nara city
It’s 5 mins walk to the nara shopping area, 5mins walk to the nara park there is deer walking around the hotel in the morning
There is free morning city walk tour at 7:00-8:00 with local guide; the bicycle is free
The view of the pond is nice the service is great!! 5stars to everything
The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable
They have drink lounge for free use with unlimited snacks; fruit juice, sake, beer, wine from
15:00pm-2:00am
Really recommend everyone that travels to nara city to stay at this hotel!!
The only downside of this hotel is the breakfast only provides japanese style food ; grill fish and onigiri
The onigiri is huge, grill fish and miso soup is cold
I wish they can make the onigiri smaller so
We can taste more flavors
And hope that they can provide a bakery corner for people who doesn’t like to eat fish
Otherwise we loved the hotel and want to go
Back again!!
Ps: there is not parking space so we need to park at the coin parking costs us 2400¥ /night
VVBBBKKExcellent 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.
GGuest UserAlthough the history of the homestay is a bit old, the supporting infrastructure is not bad. It is a very charming Japanese tatami accommodation. It is good to experience it for one night. You need to buy towels, toothbrushes and other things in the hotel by yourself. They provide them here. It seems to be about 100 yen (I forgot the exact price). In addition, the light in the room I stayed in needs to be pressed for a long time, otherwise the light cannot be turned on. (Room number is 213or203) I don’t know how the quilt is laid. The liner will run out of the sheets, and it is a bit dirty, and the blood stains are not cleaned. It seems that the luggage can only be placed downstairs? Because shoes are not allowed to be worn upstairs, which is not very convenient. The shower and toilet are on the first floor. There is a sink on the second floor
Wwee teeBooked this hotel through Trip which was a godsend. The hotel that I booked through ******* was screwed up big time by ******* because the hotel didn't receive the reservation apparently. ******* was not helpful with the relocation (even thought there were availability at other hotels), claiming the hotel class are different from the one I booked. Anyways this hotel is convenient and clean, only thing that I disliked was the site mentioned double bed BUT only can accommodate 1 person!? Ended we have to pay additional ¥3k for the 3rd person (my youngest daughter) for 2 rooms. 1 room for myself and the other for both daughters because the manager was adamant about the 1 room per person, however after paying the additional ¥3k he was ok with 2 persons in a room. Didn't make sense unless I was explained it is some government regulations to allow only 1 double bed room for 1 person

MMichael IanThis place was so cute and excellent. Staff didn't speak much English, but we were able to communicate easily enough. Room was Japanese Ryokan style. Tatami mats, low table. It had everything needed, shower and toilet in the room too. There is also an onsen that you can reserve for your private use. I asked for a time later at night and they still had one spot available. If you can't get a time then it is ”public use” after 22:00, which seems to mean that you might need to share if others want to join. Location was very good, right in the middle of the historic part of town and a short walk (<5 min) to Nara park to see the deer. Hotel was very nice and clean. I was here in late December and the air conditioning heater in the room was very good too.
GGuest UserThis hotel is exactly something what we expected to experience with a Japanese style room and hot spring. We chose Japanese style room which was spacious enough for 3 guests. Hotel fee already included Japanese dinner served inside room and breakfast (Japanese or American) served in their restaurant. Hot spring is available from 4pm-11pm, however, no morning session is available which a bit disappointed us. Hot spring area is not big, it is more enjoyable when there are only 2-3 guest in the pool.
Hotel location is good, only about 6 mins walk from Kintetsu Nara station. The only bad thing was NO elevator or escalator from the station up to ground floor exit. All other main tourist attractions are within walkable distance.
