"Amazing place to stay in Nara, located right in the Park but in a quiet area. Delicious traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast, they were even able to accommodate vegetarian requests. Sleeping on the tatami was special!! Very attentive and kind staff, the only note is that they don't speak English so make sure to have your phone with you with Google translate, especially at the restaurant. The matcha tea ceremony was cute but very rushed (10 minutes in total)."

"The property seems to be recently updated, it is modern, and clean. The amenity is lacking a few things (for example, it tells the guest to wash dishes and put them away but doesn’t provide a clothe to dry them). Also, the instruction isn’t super clear. The instruction reads to leave the key on the table when checking out (that’s what it says literary in English), when in fact you need to lock and put the key in the lockbox as one example. Also the road to access the property is quite narrow...

10/10 Excellent

Amazing room, especially for the price, even as a solo traveller. Would definitely recommend (and have done to friends and family already). Great location, can see the deer from the window. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Basically an apartment, with a hob to cook on, a washing machine, just amazing. I can praise highly enough. Wish I could have stayed longer, and will definitely return if I ever go to Japan again.

Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi

10/10 Excellent

Hotel was clean, staff friendly and in a perfect spot for those that want some peace at the end of the day. Private Shower or use of Public Bath (which is very nice to soak aching feet). Sarusawa Pond is beautiful to look out at either from the terrace or local Starbucks. Wild Deer on your doorstep and Nara Park a short walk. Plenty of food spots to pick from covering most if not all styles (including macdonalds if you're picky). Perfect Stay, would 100% stay again.

My daughter and I stayed here for just one night on a short trip from Tokyo. We came specifically for the Omizutori festival. Though we did swing by the Yamazaki distillery on the way back through Kyoto! We didn't have much choice of hotel but we picked the New Wakasa because of the spa. The hotel staff were very friendly and super efficient. They organised transport, guides and even hand warmers for the festival as it was heading below zero that night. As this is a Japanese style hotel the...
