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. We had a wonderful stay! Especially we are thankful for Suzuka’s hospitality for taking care of our 3years old baby girl while we were having drinks (parents will know that feeling to get some free time for yourself). The place is also wonderful, walking through hotel you can feel wood smell it was so relaxing.

Featuring an open-air bath and views of quiet street, Ryokan Asukasou at the entrancne of Nara park is a recently renovated ryokan located in Nara, 1.8 km from Nara Station. It is set 20 km from Iwafune Shrine and provides a lift. There is a terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. 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.

Set in Uda, 39 km from Nara Station, ホテル郷 offers accommodation with a shared lounge, private parking, a terrace and a bar. Featuring a garden, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The hotel has family rooms. 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!
