This is a remarkable historical property. The view from our room was outstanding. The cherry blossoms outside the tea room/bar were breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable stay. The food in all three restaurants was great. Keep in mind this hotel’s design is not the current grey and white chic. The style is from another era and that is what is so lovely about it.

A lovely old hotel with lots of history. Probably our favourite stay during our Japan trip. In the old wing the walls are a bit thin so soundproofing is not perfect but that's the price you pay for the hotel's history and character. Wonderful breakfasts and impeccable service.

A very special place adjacent to Nara Park. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing and delicious. A very comfortable bed and spacious room. There is also a free bus shuttle service between the hotel and the train station.

Stayed in a traditional Japanese room. Very comfortable. Breakfast was included, we picked the Japanese breakfast, and it was delicious. The only downsides were that you had to pick a time before 7 PM to have your futons set out, and you had to pick breakfast times at check in.

This hotel is absolutely wonderful! Beautiful hotel with the kindest staff. The breakfast is absolutely delicious. The grounds surrounding the hotel are beautiful and peaceful. Nara Deer park is just a few steps away. They have a bus that will pick you up at the train station and take you to the hotel. This bus will also take you to the shopping district and pick you up again. This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed. I highly reccomend this historic hotel and we plan to come back and stay again in the future.
