For a love hotel, the aesthetic is not too sketchy. it felt pretty equatorial. I like that I could have a drink brought up to my room 24/7. The staff is friendly (at least the one I met). The sound isolation is decent, I only heard cleaning noise in the near room in the morning, though I'm unsure if I had neighbors. The room is spacious and the ceiling high. It's a change from usual Japanese hotel rooms. I appreciate the wooden vibes. The AC is strong so the room cools down and warms up pretty fast. Amazing black out windows at night. No bad smell. a little Jacuzzi. I recommend if you have hard time dealing with tiny hotel rooms in Japan and don't mind taking taking back and forth.

As the major cities in Japan become larger and more...
As the major cities in Japan become larger and more identical to each other, they also become a little difficult for tourists to manage easily and feel at home in. But Nara has retained the feel it had when I was last there, half a century ago. Back then I said it was the favourite city, along with Kyoto, of any I visited in Japan. Right now I say it is STILL my favourite city, and in the 21st century it has left Kyoto well behind. If I were spending a week in the Kansai area, I would base myself in Nara in preference to Osaka or any of the "majors", and do day trips everywhere else. You will save on accommodation, for a start!

The Todaiji temple and the Kofuku-ji Buddhist temple next to it are a must-see. The museum was okay. The Isui-en Wisteria garden was okay too but it was too crowded because the flowers were in bloom. There are a number of restaurants and cafes on the street from the Nara Station to Nara Park.
Walking from Hotel Nikko/Nara Station to Nara Park and walking to all the attractions nearby was very tiring. So, I may recommend taking the bus on the way back, if possible. Also, it suddenly started raining in the afternoon and luckily, I had an umbrella with me.
I wished I had more time to see some of the other attractions outside of the Nara Park.

This was the most welcome I felt of our entire trip. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. If you could choose any hotel for your vacation this has to be the one because it will be your favorite. The food and staff were my favorites. The room was clean and comfy and they even had buckwheat pillows!

The best advice I can give is find where the biggest crowds are massed, all trying to impress deer with the same rice crackers that everyone else is trying to feed them, then pick a direction and walk away from them. There is so much more to the park: primeval forests, ancient stone pathways leading to temples and small villages older than most of our own countries, hidden pockets of lost time. It is hard to explain how it feels to not have another human being in sight, finding yourself passing stone idols carved by people hundreds of years ago, only to see a deer eating moss from the base of said idol that stops chewing to literally bow to you. Of course you bow back and scramble in your bag for some kind of treat to offer your new best friend (I recommend unsalted pretzel sticks, the deer hate plain rice crackers as much as we do at this point) and then having it gently eat from the palm of your hand, before you both again swap polite bows and go on your merry way. Then you hear a crow sing from the ancient forest behind you, and you just know: this is pretty cool.

Nice place, parks, plenty of temples, huge Buddha statues, a little ride by train and you can see the oldest still standing wooden building in the world!
And of course the deer! Feeding the deer with the deer cookies is fun and a little scary as they are quite bold and can pull and push you a bit.
Good food available as well.

If you are tired of seeing crowded with tourists cities,...
If you are tired of seeing crowded with tourists cities, come to Nara and start exploring the city. It’s a beautiful city that has so much more to offer with affordable prices. I fell in love with deers and all that Nara has to offer.
The location is 3 minutes from the train station and a short walk to the major shopping and restaurant districts. We were able to do our entire 2 night Nara visit to the major attractions by foot from this location. When we had a problem at check-in (due to booking 2 rooms under one name and not realizing it) a staff person quickly came out and corrected our situation then disappeared behind the holograms.
First off every single person working here is extremely polite and really makes you feel welcome. The Hotel is in a great location ~15 mins walk from Nara Station and slightly closer to Kintetsu-Nara station, very close to Nara Park and many other extremely beautiful spots. There are a lot of Cafés and Restaurants around. The room has a decent size, you get a Guide Book for Nara and some special green tea.
Aloha and Mahalo for the great staff and they were able to hold our luggage until it was time to check in.
The location was convenient and near a lot of places to eat and shop at. 7 eleven was 2 minutes away and the hotel even had a bar bakery and restaurant. The Deer park was just minutes away as well as the temples and shrines.
I would stay here again.

This was a proper hotel with good breakfast, onsite onsen and good supermarket nearby. The location was great with 2 mins walk to the nara station and has a store offering direct farm food directly opposite (very cheap price). Good eateries around. The onsite onsen is a must try, offering their own hot spring and was especially useful after a tiring day.
This was our second stay this year. The location is perfect! Walk 5 minutes from the train platform to the front desk. The onsen is fantastic after long days of walking. There are many options for all meals close by with all types of food and costs.
The JR station is only 15 minutes walk if you want to do a day trip or visit Horyuji. Great hotel!!
The hotel is kind of new; the shower, tub, and toilet in our room are kind of new. The location is excellent, within walking distance to Nara Park, main shopping/restaurant streets, train stations, and bus stops. I don't speak Japanese; I used a translator app on my smart phone to communicate with the staff during check-in and everything went well.
The hotel is really close to Nara JR station and it is easy to get the bus up to the main temple complex. Other temples and shrines are within walking distance and it is convenient for local shops and restaurants. Shoes need to be left at reception and there are shoe lockers for that. The onsite hot spring baths are lovely and well appointed.
We absolutely loved this luxury ryokan in Nara. It was a perfect ending to our 2-week trip in Japan, especially after visiting the big cities prior to our stay at Sarusawaike Yoshida. The staff was so welcoming and helpful! We really enjoyed the private baths, the roof-top lounge, and the wonderful location of the hotel. Highly recommended!
Such a gorgeous hotel! Our room was lovely, we had our own private hot onsen on the balcony and it was nice to sleep in traditional Japanese beds. The hotel’s onsen is perfect for relaxing after a long day of sight seeing, and the staff are very sweet and helpful. It’s in a great location, within walking distance from of landmarks in Nara.
Japanese style hotel, relaxing atmosphere, both Japanese and western style breakfasts were of excellent quality. Access to late afternoon drinks and snacks whilst overlooking hotel garden was a bonus and a great way to relax after exploring Nara. Location is quiet once all day tourists have gone and is close to Nara Park.
The Nara Ryokan was really wonderful inn, very close to everything Nara has to offer with the luxury of time in the private onsen. We really needed a rest day after traveling throughout the region and enjoyed the proximity to restaurants as well as the train station, and Todai-ji. We would absolutely stay here again!
Very nice hotel. Front desk staff was friendly and welcoming.
Located in the center of Nara with many shops and restaurants nearby. Was less than a 10 minute walk to Nara Park. And Nara Station was 1 block away.
Rooms were on the small side, but this is typical of Japan hotels. They were modern and clean.
The location was ideal to walk to Nara park, and the husband and wife owners (I'm terrible with names 😅) were incredibly warming and open when I arrived, and helped to call a restaurant when I needed to check my booking.
My room was lovely, and this is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in!
Lovely hotel with very good amenities. It was great to be able to do washing and drying of clothes. Breakfast provided was very nice and coffee was great. The staff are very helpful and always friendly. Location is excellent - close to major attractions in Nara and the train station.
Very clean as we have to take off our shoes and no shoes are allowed in the hotel., the public bath is amazing. There are 3 different spots to dip in. The room is a bit small but comfortable. Perfect location as it is close to the station also to the Nara Park.
This is absoluteky my preferred hotel in Nara. Superb location and service. The in room dinner available is of high quality. Similarly the breakfast. The hotel has a superb in house hot bath and a superb cafe in the ground floor. Jens Hoeg Denmark
