Everything was perfect! The onsen, the midnight meal, and the tatami-style interior and room were amazing. Just one thing to mention—the room temperature was quite hot for us, even after turning off the heater. Maybe it was because our room was located just above the onsen. We definitely re-booking at another Onyado Nono hotel in another city.

Novotel Nara is an excellent hotel. They gave me a great room on the 7th floor with a huge bed and nice bathroom and other facilities. The hotel is located near the conference center where I went every day so this was a bonus. The breakfast was a nice mix of Japanese and western delicacies. However, I only tried it once so I can't say much more.

The layout of the room is beautifully done and decorated. Everything was clean and comfortable from the sofa to the bedding, to the bath area and towels. Located in quaint Murou, Murou-ji temple is only a few minutes walk away. It is also within walking distance of Murou Art Forest. Both are must-sees. Parking is available but requires a reservation so be sure to contact the proprietor. After each day of sightseeing around the area, I looked forward to returning to my room and enjoying the cleanliness and comfort. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable stay away from the city, look no further!

The staff there were all very friendly and helpful. I tried out the traditional Japanese room and it was the biggest room I ever lived traveling in Japan. On the first night it was even a bit frightening (if you are a Japanese horror movie lover). But I had 2 good night of sleeps there and the tatami was comfortable too. The staff there will help you to set up the bed and pillows which was very nice. they would light a night lamp for you after making the bed and it feels like home when you come back. The public bath is very comfortable too and I loved it. The location is perfect and it’s right after the Nara Kintetsu. I recommend this hotel and will definitely visit back.

If you want the authentic feel of a ryokan, this is the place. Nara Park is right next to the property, where you can feed the famous deer. The tatami beds are incredibly comfortable, and we enjoyed drinks on the terrace with an amazing view. It was a pity that the Pagoda is currently under renovation, expected to be completed around 2033 — so if you book here, don’t be disappointed if you can’t see it. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable.

The staff at Hotel Nosegawa was amazing. I casually asked if there was anywhere I could get oatmeal and soy milk and the next day when I came down, they had gone all the way into Koyasan and got me oatmeal and soy milk. Wow, I was shocked, that was above and beyond and totally unexpected. Such a generous group. The public bath was clean and enjoyable. In addition, the free shuttle to Koyasan was super convenient. We really loved our stay and would highly recommend it.

You can rent a bike if you want. The entrance has a lot of board games, a playstation 2 and english manga books. It made for a nice spot to end the evening.

Nara has a lot going on. Lots of wonderful food, decent shopping and the Park is huge! There is way more to the park that is initially revealed in tourism blogs. We really loved early morning walks thought the park without the crowds. We spent 3 days there, and felt like it was perfect.

I really enjoyed my stay.

I really enjoyed my stay. The area is peaceful and the hotel has a very relaxed, but high-end vibe, minus amenities like pool, gym, restaurants. Although they have a nice restaurant next door with grocery/gift shop. The staff are wonderful and make you feel very welcomed! The hotel is at a base of the mountain and is outside the city which is worked for me, but if you need to be in the center till late, you will need to chip out the $10 taxi ride from the station. Will definitely visit again!

i liked the Kashihara Jingu and the visit to various burial places of former tenno. on my last day, i visited the Omiwa Jinja; there is an observation hill where you could watch the sunset over Kashihara city. walking around town however, you can notice the signs of declining population and abandoned shops. there are a few good ramen shops in the area if you know where to find them, like Saika Ramen, highly recommended for its spicy flavour.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan. It has really beautiful natural environment, lovely deer that you can easily see while walking on the street, and very friendly people. It has played a very important role in Japanese history (e.g. Horyuji, Toshodaija, etc. are important world heritage sites), but it does not have that many visitors as Kyoto, which makes traveling in Nara a lot more pleasant than travelling in Kyoto. I highly recommend people to travel to southern part of Nara Prefecture (e.g. Horyuji, Asuka-dera, Tsubosaka-dera, Oka-dera, etc.).
