  Old world charm

  Except for the old world charm in the old wing only I would probably rethink a visit to this hotel unless yu intend to spend 2 days in Nara The rooms were decent size but lack of good coffee made it loose rankings If for a night stay closer to the station where are the action is in terms of bars and restuarents

  Onsen

  We were not staying at the hotel, but they let the public use the Onsen for ¥1000. Towel rental is additional ¥300. Worth the visit, there are indoor and outdoor pools and the staff is very friendly. A little out of the main area of town. Not to be confused with Nara Hotel.

  Natural Onsen

  We went there for a day plan including dinner and onsen. Ask your hotel staff to help you to book the menu and reserve the limousine to pick you up from the JR Nara Station or Kintetsu Nara Station. A better option which they may offer is to pick you up at the south exit of Kintetsu Yamato-Saidaji station (2 stations from Kintetsu Nara station). From there is a 10 minutes ride to the hotel. If they can, you can arrange to shop at the Kintetsu NARA department store at the north exit of the Kintetsu Yamato-Saidaji before or after your meal. At north exit, cross the road and turn left, you will see it right in front of you. Go to the information centre to ask for the tourist 5% discount card by showing your passport. Can have tax refund immediately at the top floor of the department store (can't remember it is the 5th or 6th floor. Daily consumption needs to add up to JPY6,000-10,000 at less, I did not pay attention as I spent more than this). It does not have any sign of the tax refund counter but there is a counter for the department store member, you just speak to them in English 'Tax refund' and they will guide you to the counter. For cosmetic items, you need to show them and they will seal it in a plastic bag for you. At the hotel, for food and beverage consumption over JPY5,000 for each person excluding taxes (approx. USD45) they waive onsen expenses JPY1,000 (approx. USD9) and provide free towel and yukata (cotton bathrobe). The cheapest lunch menu is JPY5,400 excluding taxes (approx. USD49). Lunch is 11:00-14:30 and dinner is 17:30-21:00. Dinner is served in a guest room but they won't give you the room key. You need to lock your valuable items in the lockers at the onsen changing room. Lockers with key or digital lock are available. You need to return the room by 9pm. You don't need to bring anything. The onsen has shampoo, conditioner, bath soap and dryer etc. Do wash before you dip into the onsen and tie up your hair if you have long hair! The onsen is REAL onsen. We shopped and had sightseeing for 3 days and are exhausted. Had onsen before and after the dinner and we are brand new again! Please be expected this is a traditional Japanese ryokan, you will sit on the tatami for the meal. The staff don't speak English but what more do you need! Enjoy!

  Special Night Tour of Nigatsu Hall!

  Recommend the Nara Park Hotel! They have an special night tour of the famous Nigatsu Hall. You need to schedule it when you book your room. It is free! Unfortunately, you need to take someone who can speak Japanese for interpretation and request Mr Takaya. Great clean hotel! Onsen is nice!

  Experience the real Japan staying at this Ryokan...

  This hotel is not 5 star luxury, for the price it is 5 star value...£190 for a couple including Japanese breakfast & evening meal... I would highly recommend the crab we cooked in a pot... The rooms are typical Ryokan, spotlessly clean, comfortable & we were provided with kimonos & served Japanese tea... It has steam bath facilities with out door bathing also...the saloon bar is basic please dont expect cocktails but if you want a good laugh on the karaoke without a massive audience this is the place to go... The hotel staff are extremely friendly & helpful...If you want to practice your Japanese this is the place for you... the hotel was full & we were the only European guests which made it all the more fun... Nara Park is two train stops away & a taxi ride to the hotel or the hotel at times has a shuttle bus.. If you want croissants for breakfast & a burger for dinner & expect the staff to speak fluent English this is not the place for you...if however you want a truly memorable experience then give it a go...
