2-Star Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

Nara 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.

In order to experience tatami accommodation, I stayed here for one night. The location is super good, right next to the Sarushaku Pond in Nara Park, not far from JR Nara Station and Konishi Street. The tatami room is relatively small, but fortunately there is a large cupboard. The mattress is quite comfortable. Given the super beautiful price, it doesn't matter that we only have a shared bathroom and toilet. Even if it is the price of a domestic guesthouse, the clean quality is very reassuring~

The transportation is very convenient. After getting off the airport bus, you can walk about 200 meters to the hotel. It is very close to various attractions in Nara. The public transportation is very convenient. The hotel also has a small hot spring area, which is also very good.

Although 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

The room was like an old-fashioned hotel. It was very clean and cozy, like staying at a Japanese friend's home. The room was well-equipped and even had a small bathtub. It was also very close to Nara Park and other attractions. I highly recommend it.

The room has a sense of age but is very clean and the service is very good. Next to Longquan Temple, the hotel's dinner and breakfast are very rich Facilities: Hot springs Hygienic: very clean Environment: The whole street is a hot spring hotel Service: Very warm, the bed has been laid after dinner, and the breakfast bed has been collected.

Nara Treasure Inn!! If you like the atmosphere of a Japanese family hotel and don't mind a small room, this one is really suitable for a solo traveler. The room is quieter and cleaner, with tatami mats, small but complete. The bath on the first floor is a private bath reserved by time slot, very hot, so more than 40 minutes of time slot is enough. The front desk brother on duty at night is handsome and ok in English, and is very helpful. For example, he let me take the last minute of the remaining bathroom time slot (it was already ten minutes later when I arrived), take a bath and stroll around the small streets. It is also close to the commercial street (but everything is closed at night), and the surrounding environment and hotel atmosphere are great.

We were served a delicious meal incorporating Tenkawa's specialties. It was my first time to have a kotatsu in my room, and it was very relaxing. Furthermore, we were provided with a hot water bottle at the foot of our futon, and it was a very well-maintained accommodation. thank you very much.

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 !

We were absolutely delighted with the ryokan. The owner is very nice and good-natured. Everywhere is perfectly clean, the linen and yukata are snow-white and smell fresh. Two layers of tatami, super comfortable to sleep. The room is spacious, bright and cozy. The wood flooring in the onsen/wash area has been updated. Tea, treats and kaiseki are all delicious! Thanks for taking care of me!

The location is right in the shopping street and also at the Kintetsu exit, it is only 15 minutes to go to the park. The staff is warm and courteous, the hot springs are fine but quiet enough. The hotel is old but tidy, there is no daily necessities except old towels, including a blow dryer in the hot spring area, and there is nothing towels lock. Of course, this price can't be too much, remember this is a hotel. I was impressed by the invincible location and courteous staff, I can't say whether I like it or not.

The boss is a Chinese girl who is very nice. She can introduce authentic local life suggestions, supermarkets, food, and entertainment. In addition, the traditional Japanese-style one-family structure allows you to feel the quiet local culture, which is great. In addition, the transportation is convenient, and you can get out of the bustle. Jing, it’s not far from Tsutaya Bookstore, Montball or Don Quixote, and it’s also very close to JR Nara Station.

It's not too far from Nara Park and the station, so it's good to walk around, and it's near the lake, so it's good to walk at night. It's an alley, so you can feel the alley of Japan while walking in the morning and during the day, but it's scary at night! If you enter the building password, there are some kinds of iron sticks that can tie your luggage or luggage, and if you enter the room off-duplex, there are bathrooms, washbasins, and toilets in the room. The double-story ladder is a bit scary, but there is no problem. It was so clean and everything was good, but one problem? The point is that the building off-duty sound comes into my room, but I thought I pressed the password to enter my room. The sound is very loud. But I stayed for 2 nights on Thursday and Saturday, but I don't know if the sound of the room in the room is soundproof because all the people who used the building together for 2 nights stayed quiet, but I couldn't hear the sound of people!! I only heard the sound of the building password! Totally revisited doctor 100000%

The service is in place and the open-air hot springs are also great. The disadvantage is that the sound insulation of the room is not good. Fortunately, the quality of the guests staying in is very high and basically does not affect it. The only thing that cannot accept is that there is no bathroom in the room. In addition to this, other full marks!

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.

I used it for work, but the Wi-Fi was firmly connected and I was able to stay with peace of mind. It was a snowy day, so I felt a little cold with only a shower.

今日な予約にもかかわらず、宿泊できて良かったです。妻とも話しておりましたが、とても人柄が皆さん素敵な方ばかりで、お料理もここでしか味わえないものばかりでとても満足でした。またシーズン毎に機会があればこちらで宿泊させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

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.

The National Park Yoshinoyama Government has landed at the International Sightseeing Hotel, Jingsheng の Sufang Yunguan... Dare to ”slow the scenery” on the world heritage Yoshinoyama. There is absolutely a reason for his arrogance... Built in the history of Kawasaki in 1754 for nearly 250 years, the room The cherry blossoms in the wild mountains of Yoshinoyama, the open-air hot springs in the rain of the petals flying in the sky, ”Snow Moonflower”, the same name of their own treasures of sake... Here, you can really forget the time, body and mind bathed in the baptism of Yoshinoyama...

I did a one night stay and 2 nights before I go, I called the owner to request him to add breakfast and dinner to my booking. He mentioned that he could fix something simple if I didn't mind as his wife would be busy. He offered to pick me up from Shimoichiguchi station when he knew I was going by train. After picking me up, he brought me to a famous temple on the way. It was not somewhere I could visit without driving so I was appreciative. He explained that the house was left behind by his mother and he decided to convert it to a guesthouse last year. There is a famous shrine with a Noh stage within 10 mins walk from the guesthouse and I went there twice as there was a procession at 8am the next morning. There is also Amano river where waters are clear and fishermen can be seen occasionally. Dinner will eventually still prepared by the owner's wife. Food was fresh and delicious. I had beef stew with whole grain rice and several side dishes from the town. As the nearby onsen was closed until June, I decided to visit Dorogawa onsen during checkout. The owner offered to drive me there at no charges. The guesthouse was tastefully converted from a 2 century old house with a nice fusion of new and old. Guests could use the living area with stove heating, bar counter, bathroom and toilets. There are only 2 bedrooms so chances are, you can get some peaceful relaxation. The owner speaks limited English but he uses an electronic pocket tool to help him communicate with overseas guest. His room rates are very very reasonable and he and his wife are both very kind and friendly. They really go all out to make your stay pleasant so give the guesthouse a try. The owner heard I wanted to see stars though I told him I did not expect to since the weather forecast was cloudy. He checked the skies at 9pm and told me that some stars could be seen and took me to a dark stargazing spot nearby. I was happy as I managed to take some decent photos.
