“I found this to be a particularly appealing place to stay in Nara, offering a surprisingly tranquil escape that remains conveniently close to the city's attractions. The dedication to traditional Japanese dining, complete with luxurious presentation, certainly elevates the experience. Add in the rooftop hot spring bath with its expansive views, and I think it's a well-rounded choice.”
