Naramachi, 1.2 km from Nara National Museum

"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...

"I thought the hotel was very beautiful! And the staff were amazing! I just thought the extra charges for the indoor & out door pools was a bit excessive. I think hotel guests should have lower complimentary rates for the use of the indoor pool in particular & the hot tub should be at a higher temperature for greater therapeutics!"
