“Great experience, loved it!”
Its location, totally remote from the major tourist spots, but still close to a famous big temple. Very nice little town. Staff was super nice and very helpful and respectful. The typical and delicious breakfast.

The atmosphere was very peaceful and the lounge was small but lovely! I loved the public bath and the bath cloth/shoes which the hotel nicely prepared for everyone.

“Good for those planning to visit Horyuji”
This is right next to Horyuji temple and thus 13/14 km away from Nara town centre. Nara has limited public transport so getting to this hotel is bit of a hassle. Lot of shops/ restaurants around this area close early so even finding a dinner venue ( which you may need if you dont pre book meals at the hotel) is bit tough. What I did like: 1. Right next to Horyuji Temple, 7th century temple. I was planning to skip the temple ( I came from Kyoto!!) but as it was right next door so I decided to venture it. Spent 3 hours inside the temple complex, a very memorable experience. Must visit for those who like historical sites. 2. Peaceful and clean place, rooms were comfortable. It has nice small onsen. 3. Staff: While language was a barrier but staff was very helpful.
