Situated in Nara, less than 1 km from Nara Station and 18 km from Iwafune Shrine, Yuzan apartment Sanjo offers a garden and air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 21 km from Higashiosaka Hanazono Rugby Stadium. It's absolutely one of the coolest places to stay in Nara. Directly off the main street leading to Nara Park, and super close to JR Nara Station. Its facilities are super up to date, but you can feel the age of the house in a good way. We had also left an item accidentally after checkout and the host did his absolute best, including going out of his way to get it back to us. Overall awesome experience.

SETRE Naramachi セトレ ならまち features free bikes, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Nara. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a restaurant. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.8 km from Nara Station. - This hotel is beautiful, cozy and so peaceful. From the room design to the lobby and restaurant, always with a view of the serene courtyard - I wish I could have stayed longer just to relax and take in the atmosphere a few more days. - The location is excellent, with just a 10 minute walk to the Kintetsu train station with connections to Kyoto, Osaka and more. Also in walking distance are most of Nara’s sights: Naramachi with lots of shops, restaurants and breweries, many shrines and temples, and Nara Park (with deer hanging out right outside the hotel doors). The pagoda was under construction when we stayed but would have been a beautiful view right from the rooftop terrace. - The food was delicious. I still dream about the onigiri rice balls we had for breakfast. Unlimited tea, coffee, juices, beer, whisky soda and other drinks was really nice to have. - The wood chip foot bath was an intriguing new experience and very nice after a long day of walking around town. - It was great to be able to choose the level and frequency of housekeeping. - The included walking tour was great; our guide showed us beautiful spots to take photos and pointed out interesting facts that we would have missed otherwise. - My husband smokes and was very appreciative of the designated spot on the rooftop where he could go without bothering anyone. - The shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were so nice. I really felt a difference in how soft my hair was after I used it. - The pyjamas were the most comfortable. I wish I could have bought a pair to bring home! - The hotel’s focus on sustainability. - The chickens.

Offering mountain views, Houtouji Temple is an accommodation located in Yoshino, 34 km from Subaru Hall and 38 km from Nara Station. Featuring a garden, this 2-star bed and breakfast has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom. There is a terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. Amazing and memorable stay I had there. They met me by the train station and then I spent a lovely calm night on the mountain and at 6 in the morning we had a pray in the temple. The bamboo path to the temple is something! Also they cook very good) Thank you for the hospitality, I'd like to come back soon. 😊

Mountain Home Lodge in Deer Park is situated in the Nara Park district of Nara, 3.3 km from Nara Station and 20 km from Iwafune Shrine. Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the property.

There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with free toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers. I likes absolutely everything about this property! I expected it to be very ‘rustic’ considering the price but it was perfect! The rooms were super roomy (not just by Japanese standards..) and super clean and equipped with everything you might need to warm/cook your meals, comfortable beds and best of all- beautiful French doors by the kitchen table where the deer approach in the morning. The staff that was working (or manger?) was incredibly kind and helpful, giving us pointers about the area, he even pointed out an illuminated temple nearby. Made our stay extra special. Would wholeheartedly recommend!
