We had an amazing stay! The staff’s 5-star service made us feel incredibly welcome. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped, and the hotel’s authentic Japanese atmosphere was truly special. The onsen was a fantastic experience, perfect for relaxing. The location is excellent—right next to Nara Park, just a 10-minute walk to the station, and surrounded by great food and shops. A huge thank you to the staff for their honesty—we accidentally left an iPad in the room, and they quickly found it for us. Everything about this hotel was exceptional. A perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and convenience—highly recommended! We wish to come back next time with our parents.

Close to all the shops and restaurant, and a short stroll to the Temples and deer park. The suite was exceptional. Very clean, beautifully appointed, and a fantastic outdoor tub and shower set in a garden setting, which was lovely to use in the evening. The bathroom inside was huge, and the shower room was the best we have experienced. The beds were very comfortable, and there is luggage lift for your suitcases so you don’t need to get them up or down stairs. Extremely good value and we would definitely recommend it to others.

Nara Setre Naramachi exceeded our expectations with its charming wooden exterior and cozy interior. The staff's kindness towards my children added a personal touch to our stay.

The room was absolutely stunning and we really enjoyed the tour of the soy sauce factory, it’s clear there is a great passion and a rich culture in the area, and squeezing our own soy sauce was fun! The staff were so amazing and friendly, even though they didn’t speak much English they went above and beyond to help with translating and making us feel welcome. This was a wonderful experience and a great place to stay.

    I didn’t check closing times of temples and it was hard to determine the last buses back from further out locations. I did end up having a nice evening walk along a riverside to find a train station to come back into town.

    Nara is beautiful.

    Nara is beautiful. There are two UNESCO world heritage sites and lots of deer. If you are afraid of animals, I don't recommend it. The deer will follow you if you have food and they may try to take it from you if you hesitate or don't gently push them away. They are not, as a general rule, aggressive. A lot of tourists freak out and just throw their crackers. Don't do that. Stay calm. The deer don't want to hurt you, they just want a snack. They don't care for being pet either. Just snap your crackers (200 yen sold at different stands) into 3-4 pieces, hold out your hand flat and let them take it from you. Be aware of how many are around you. They will surround and nibble your clothing. I found this hilarious. I grew up with cows and they will pretty much do the same thing. Use your voice and be gentle. The one day bus pass is really useful. I wish I had more time in Nara.

    Nara Koen (park) is a beautiful place.

    Nara Koen (park) is a beautiful place. Todaiji and Kasuga Kaisha is located nearby. The Sarusawa Ike (pond) behind the Nara Park leads to shopping place. One can spend whole day around Nara. - Beware of the deer, they might get a bit aggressive when offering food. - It gets crowded during on-season.

    I love the deer and the ambiance of Nara.

    I love the deer and the ambiance of Nara. Arrive early and expect crowds. As with anything else, the further you walk from the main area, you can stumble across more peaceful and secluded places. I would avoid Nara on the weekend, if possible. Deer can be friendly (and bow politely to ask for a treat) or aggressive (grabbing items out of your bag, biting your clothing, or being over-zealous). Keep your crackers high or out of sight and feel free to walk away from deer that are not vibing.

    This is a beautiful, small city with wonderful restaurants, beautiful parks (filled with Nara's famous deer), a fascinating history and many sites of historical, architectural and religious significance - our only regret was the length of our stay, as two or three more nights would have been better as there is so much to see!

    Nara was a great place for me since it has marvel buildings...

    Nara was a great place for me since it has marvel buildings preserved from Tang dynasty of China, it has a such warm and relaxed environment. We stayed for 3 nights but I was hoping we stayed longer to see more of this endearing and oldest capital of Japan. We visited Isui-en Garden which was tranquil, peaceful and memorable. I was welcomed by a volunteer who showed me the water garden, tea house and told me the history of the garden, through her enthusiasm I learned that in Japan's feudal system, samurai was the highest class followed by peasants, artisans and merchants. The person who created Isui-en Garden was a merchant who created the customs for Samurai, he made a lot of money and was able to create this garden. She made sure I remember the name of the garden in Chinese and Japanese, it means a "garden along the water"; a very appropriate name. Then at the end of the tour, she surprised me with colorful deers she made in her spare time in origami as gifts from Nara to me. I was so happy to cross the path with Isui-en Garden. We really enjoyed Japanese Tapas in Yamato Cafe in the town center which only uses Nara vegetables. It was recommended by the local visitor center, we went there for lunch with cheapest package, then we were treated with first course of 5 or 6 small colorful and tasteful dishes, then we got multiple courses of main dishes with miso soup, and finally we got a wonderful dessert. I wish we could stay longer to try out more local restaurants. We also enjoyed the local museums and temples. Thank you Nara for your hospitality and friendliness. I left part of my heart in Nara.

    The hotel was approximately 15 minutes walk from Nara train station in a great location near shops and cafes. The laundry room was an added bonus with great service wash and dry of clothes. The hotel was also a short walk from both the Nara park with the famous deer, shrines and monuments plus the food market and restaurants. The hotel was clean and well maintained. There was a nice breakfast included in the price.

    The location was ideal to walk to Nara park, and the husband and wife owners (I'm terrible with names 😅) were incredibly warming and open when I arrived, and helped to call a restaurant when I needed to check my booking. My room was lovely, and this is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in!
