Romantic Hotels in Nara

In Nara Horai, it is a very remote suburb of Nara. There is only one bus, No. 48 (waiting half an hour for one trip), and after getting off, you have to walk for 15 minutes on the country road. After passing a bridge pier, there is an auto repair shop and a cemetery in an uninhabited area. You have to walk through the cemetery to see the hotel. It is really scary to drag a suitcase through the cemetery after the sun goes down. Even if you go out during the day the next day, it is very abrupt for a foreign tourist to walk on the road with slippers and luggage. It feels like a foreigner suddenly came to a village in the mountainous area of ​​Guizhou. I passed by during the day and found a place with well-manicured gardens. It is the Horai Tumulus, the tomb of the eleventh emperor. In short, it is a magical place, the hotel is not bad, and the location is extremely remote. If you go there for the first time, it is recommended to arrive before dark.

Booking because it was a new and clean hotel to see the advertisement in the story of Instagram. Location is good. The building and room are as impressive as the photos on the homepage. I wanted a bus mat and a bus mat if I raised something. I was happy with the free mini bar, but I wish there were a little more snacks. Dinner is good to look good but the taste is normal. There was no volume and I felt the speed of delivery because I had to eat immediately. Breakfast is buffet style except for the main 4 items. It was better than breakfast at a business hotel, but there was no impression like this. The staff was very young and had a lot of unfamiliar times. This time, I was able to stay at 10800 yen per person with 2 meals in the goto campaign, so I think it was enough to consider the price. It's subtle if you return to the usual fee...

We stayed one night in FUFU Nara on the way from Tokyo to Kyoto. We took a special train - Aoniyoshi from Kyoto to Nara and it was very enjoyable ride. We took a taxi from Kintetsu Nara station to the hotel. Hotel staff greeted us right away and kept the our luggage for us until the check-in time. It is located next to Ukimido and we were able to visit Todaiji and the giant Buddha before the check-in. Once we return, we had a nice cold welcome drink. Hotel staff were very professional and friendly. It was obvious that they take a great pride on performing their tasks. Our room was super clean and modern with some Japanese touches. And the hot tub on the balcony was amazing. We contemplated between FUFU and the new Shisui, but we were very glad that we chose FUFU. At FUFU, I believe all rooms are suites and come with the private open air onsen. We did read some reviews on the noise. We did not notice too much especially after dodging so many screaming school children at Todaiji. At night, we had teppan yaki dinner for our anniversary. It was pretty cool to dress in yukata with a hanten jacket. The sandals were comfortable, also. We walked through the bamboo garden to get to the restaurant. Our chef was friendly and food was delicious. With sake pairing, we had a great time. Breakfast was served at the same restaurant, and the walk was beautiful in the morning. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. The lady who served us explained each dish very politely. It's hard to believe they are so helpful even without any tips. Staying at FUFU made our stay in Nara very special.

We've just come back from a wonderful holiday in Japan and had our first ryoken experience with Kotonoydo Musashino. Their website really helps you select the apartment that's most appropriate for you. We had selected the Yamabuki room. This is actually a little house that is set a little apart from the main building but this means that you've got great privacy and quiet. As part of the booking, you can select a dinner plan - definately the highlight for us! More on this later. If you have any dietary requirement, let them know. They can certainly accomodate you. On arrival, ladies are offered a choice of yukata. Men - you have yukata in the room. You will be asked if you would like to have breakfast served in your room or (and I would recommend this) if you'd like to have breakfast in the park opposite the Ryoken. You're shown the facilities and of course, the Onsen, before being shown to your room. This ryoken only had one shared bath type (seperate for males and females) but some rooms have their own private baths too - so select the room type that you're looking for. You are staying in Ryoken, you are not staying in a high-end Western hotel - and that's WHY you're choosing a Ryoken like this. Its all about the experience. You'll be served proper Matcha tea on arrival in your room before getting into your yukata. Make use of the Onsen (pay attention to bathing etiquette!). And then comes the meal. Your room attendant will come and serve your kaiseki meal, course by course - savour and enjoy! Our attendant (Miya-san) did a great job and together we muddled through my rudimentary Japanese and her English. After dinner, go back to the Onsen and relax while your room attendant changes the room for sleeping, laying out the beds and sheets for you. Now - is sleeping on a tatami mat the most comfortable experience? No - but it is an experience! In the morning, head back to the Onsen for a great 'wake-up' before going to reception to collect your breakfast bento box and head over to the park. We had the entire park to ourselves, except for a few deer, with a wonderful view down into Nara. We only stayed one night but you could certainly use this Ryoken as a base if your spending more time to explore Nara. Great hospitality and great memories! Highly recommended.

I stayed at the ３ generation including my grandson. It was an inn near my home, and if there was no Nara Prefectural citizenship, there was no chance to stay. The parking lot is narrow, so it is a style to park at the entrance and leave the key. After the reception at the front desk, you will be guided to the room and you can provide tea in the room, which is an old-fashioned customer service. Although the entire building is undeniably aging, there was a sense of security because it was well maintained, cleaned, and corona measures. The room was a large room with the next room, but the five-storied pagoda of Kofukuji was a room in the direction where I couldn't see it. The bath has a large communal bath and an open-air bath on the same floor, but it was a pity that I had to change clothes and enter again. I used it properly as a large communal bath before dinner and an open-air bath before going to bed. It was an artificial hot spring, so it was quite a spring quality. Dinner was served in a private room with consideration for my grandchildren, but it was simple but delicately seasoned and was top class in Nara inn. Breakfast was also very delicious. The landlady was well supervised by the employees from check-in to check-out, and everyone's manners were wonderful. At dinner, we were waiting at the entrance, and at breakfast, we were 々 for employees with great consideration to guide us ahead of the elevator. There is no accommodation, and dinner is possible, and it is a revisit.

It was a hotel with a gorgeous view from the room. I was disappointed that the wide-edge chair had almost no backrest, but thanks to that, I was able to see the night view from Mt. Wakakusa, one of Japan's top three night views, while lying on the bed facing the window. I took two rooms with my daughter's couple and tried to use our room as a meeting place, but the Japanese-Western rooms had hard tatami mats and the chairs had no backrests, so we ended up meeting in the lobby. The sofa around the fireplace was the special seat, but there were little games on the other sofas that everyone could enjoy. Self-service free coffee comes in hot and iced varieties, and others include iced tea and apple juice. At night, you can roast marshmallows over the fireplace and eat them as s'mores between crackers. On the free stargazing tour starting at 9:00 p.m., you can enjoy a 180-degree night view from the top of the mountain. We had dinner starting at 6:30, but even though the food was not slow and the waiters were not slow, we were running out of time (we had to hurry and finish at 8:45), so if you want to sign up for a tour, you should start by 6:00. Recommended. Each room had a view bath for 50 minutes, which was plenty. When hot water overflows from the bathtub, hot water is automatically supplied. There is a shower booth, but the water temperature is not stable and the shower is extremely water-saving, so it was a little difficult to use. In addition to shampoos, we have everything from cleansing to face wash and moisturizing. There is also a sink in the changing area, so you can remove your makeup there. This may not be an individual private bath, so... Towels, bath towels, co**** cloth for washing the body, and water were set in each basket. There were plenty of electrical outlets in the room in easy-to-use locations. 1 outlet and 1 typeA USB port per bed. There are 2 packs of coffee per person, 3 packs of each of 2 types of tea, and 1 bottle of water per person. The food was also luxurious and delicious for me.

The hotel is in the forest, and you can walk along the mountain road to the hotel (it would be inconvenient to walk in to get your luggage, you can take a taxi to the door of the hotel). The scenery is so beautiful, leaving the noisy tourist area and getting close to nature. Dinner is kaiseki, in a private restaurant room, a great experience! When checking in, the time for dinner and breakfast will be arranged, and the time of the private bath room will be confirmed, and the service staff will come to the room to call. The breakfast has traditional tea and rice, delicious 😋The room is traditional Japanese style, not low-key luxury design. The environment is awesome!

Access to famous tourist spots in Nara was very early arrival, but I was able to leave the car and sightseeing slowly. The staff 々 was also a pleasant customer service, and when I left the car, I also received a sightseeing map and guided me politely. The meal also has a seasonal feeling, and I am satisfied with the quality, quantity and taste. The public bath is a bit small, but it is enough to take the fatigue of the trip. I would like to stay again.

DO NOT STAY HERE unless you want your baby’s cot taken away and they force you to have your baby sleep on the floor and be squashed! That is exactly what they did to us while my baby was still sleeping in her cot they wanted to take away my baby’s cot leaving her bed less. Where would my baby sleep when they took my cot away ?! The hotel doesn’t care about you and the service is terrible. I told them months before booking I needed a cot which they assured me they had. Then the hotel proceeded to take away my baby’s cot during our 2 week stay leaving my baby in unsafe sleeping conditions as she had NO WHERE TO SLEEP!!! The service here is terrible. You are better off staying somewhere else. They are very inhumane to treat a baby like that and leave a baby bed less to sleep on the floor. My baby is unable to sleep in our bed as we are heavy sleepers and do not want to squash her while we slept. This hotel is terrible! DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I am so baffled that an entire big hotel only has 1 cot that guests have to fight over? And even when you booked the cot first and have your baby sleeping in the cot first the hotel would still take your baby’s cot away and leaving your baby bed less!!!! Utterly disgusting and unacceptable!!! I want a full refund based upon the lie that they told me that there is a cot available to use when there is not!!! To all families: DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

We decided on this because of the location and being able to spend time on the terrace. It's about an 8 minute walk to Nara National Museum, and if you walk a little further you'll be close to Todaiji Temple. I think it's a good location for walking and sightseeing around the area, and the roads along the way are very atmospheric. The staff were all very friendly and made me feel comfortable. In particular, the female staff member who realized that I didn't properly understand the free drinks at the cafe and explained it to me was very kind. After checking in, I went out to the terrace and sat and enjoyed the view of Sarusawa Pond and Kofukuji Temple in front of me, and it felt very luxurious. There is a Starbucks on the first floor of the building, so it is possible to take the drinks you buy there to the terrace. The hotel room is clean and quiet at night as there are no tourists nearby. The interior was stylish and the room was spacious. When you open the window shoji, you will see a three-storied pagoda right in front of you. However, I woke up at 6am to the sound of the temple bell. Well, that's the real thrill of Nara, isn't it? The public bath is small, but since I was using it on weekdays, I was lucky to be able to use it privately. It was also fun to be able to choose shampoo. Although there is no restaurant that serves breakfast or dinner, we were able to order a breakfast bento box that seemed to be outsourced when making a reservation. This was very delicious and a great choice. There are many delicious restaurants nearby for dinner, so I didn't have any problems. There is also a drink vending machine in the ba*****t, and there is a convenience store nearby, so you won't have to worry if you don't have much luggage. I was satisfied with the perfect service and clean rooms and bedding. There are some things to keep in mind if you are visiting by car. Only the paid parking lot affiliated with the hotel was difficult. On Saturdays and Sundays, there is a zone that becomes a pedestrian paradise, so you can only get there from an extremely narrow road. I had researched this in advance, so I was using a small light car and everything was fine, but I wonder what would have happened if it had been a car with number 3. Next time I visit, I will use another parking lot or take the train.
