Staff were so sweet and helpful here. It is so convenient since everything in the park closes early as well as transportation, so if you are staying to see the deer it is a perfect place to do so.

This hostel is near the historic shines but some distance from anywhere that serves food after 4 PM. Be prepared to walk into town and back after the buses stop running around 5 PM.

Other than the area around the inn having very few restaurants that all close around 4-5 pm (which is to be expected because it's in the park) which led us to walk a good while to get groceries, we had a very nice stay and even found that to accommodate for the lack of stores nearby, there are some instant ramens and other food to purchase in the common area for dinner past five pm. Thank you for hosting us!

This hotel is located right by Wakakusayama, so quiet, deer sitting in front of hotel, super nice morning walk area! Owner was friendly, gave us good information. You can cook your own food at kitchen, so you can stay long. room was just like own bedroom, very comfortable. The bathrooms are not in your room, but very clean! My daughter loved here, so we will go back again!!

The facility has thin walls and creaky floors so if you are a light sleeper, this may wake you up.

Felt very welcome and also thankful to the staff who recommended that we get food before everything closed in the area. They sent emails prior, to warn us which was great. The hotel is a little old but clean. I had a very simple room with a double bed and AC unit, shared bathroom and shower. They let us store our luggage a few hours in the morning after check out. Overall loved how close it was to the temples. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location deep inside of Nara Park.
First off: the listing says laundry facilities are available, but they are not (yet). This is important because the nearest laundromat is 30 minutes away. Otherwise, it's a wonderful place to stay overnight in Nara. We spent 3 nights enjoying the park. Deer right outside every morning. 2 great restaurants right down the stairs, but everything nearby closes around 16:00. Drink machines abound, but plan to stock up at the 7-11 at the park entrance (15 minutes) to cook dinner or have snacks at the Inn. They offer a small selection of instant ramen and such you can purchase for 200 yen in the kitchen if you forget and are hungry. Very kind staff. Just keep in mind you won't have access to laundry or convenient store hours.

奈良公園の真ん前です
リーズナブルな料金で良かったです。 ロケーションは奈良公園の前で最高の場所でした。 鹿が当たり前にホテルの前にいました。 建物が古い様で部屋のドア開閉の際に風圧で窓ガラスが響いてしまうのが気になりました。

良く眠れるホテルです。
とても良いロケーション。 近鉄奈良駅から徒歩30分で別世界が広がっています。 まるで自宅から遠く旅をしてきたような静かな山の中で過ごす時間は、良い意味で非日常的。 TVが無いのも好ましい。 古い古い建物ですが、ベッドは清潔で、不快感はありません。 天井や壁の一部は完璧な状態では ありませんが、虫食いの葉が描かれた日本画のような印象を受けます。 仕事のメールや電話がかかってこなければ、のんびりくつろぐ事ができるでしょう。 よく眠れるホテルです。 共有キッチンがあります。 近所で食材が入手出来ませんが、車で来る人なら問題ないでしょう。

何回かお世話になってますが、今回はお水取りを見たくてお世話になりました。お水取りについても詳しく教えて頂けて助かりました! 有難うございます。 お洗濯は乾燥機もありますし、車も停めれたので助かりました。何より春日大社も近く、二月堂も近いし鹿さんだらけで楽しかったです。またお伺いします! 有難うございました。
