We absolutely loved this place. The staff were so lovely and helpful. It is perfectly located and in waking distance to all of the best spots in Nara. It was quiet, comfortable, clean and we had an amazing view of the Pagoda. Also, downstairs in the lobby area, you can learn all sorts of things like Origami. It is a real treasure this spot. There is also a hot bath area for a soak after your daytime adventures. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Nara.

A great place if you're visiting Japan. It's a hotel and visitors center. Foreign currency exchange, laundry, cultural exhibits, demonstrations, kitchen, convenience store all in the same building. The location is next to Nara Park so you can beat the crowds in the mornings.

Lovely place to stay. Large room with windows that open. We were there on November public holiday and happened to see short fireworks display in distance from our room. Kitchen area with stove and microwave on same floor. Kitchen supplies at reception. ¥300 for washing machine and ¥100 per 30mins dryer. Quiet little streets around the corner with little restaurants. Small ramen restaurant at edge of the pond out front is excellent. Easy walk from Kintetsu-Nara Station but to enter reception go round the back from the carpark if you have big luggage (rather than using the stairs via the visitor centre). Very helpful staff. For luggage transfer, reception can help you fill out the forms but take the lift down to convenience store to drop off luggage and pay.
