Overview

About this hotel

A small hotel in Noborioji-cho, Nara, at the foot of Kofukuji, a World Heritage site. Its 13 rooms are three suites of 70 to 85 sqm, eight deluxe rooms of 40 to 43 sqm, one connecting unit of two rooms facing each other across a private corridor, and one single. The hotel has its own French restaurant.

Who it suits

Suits a grown-up stay in Nara: walking Nara Park and Kofukuji by day, and ending the evening with French cuisine in-house. With few rooms, the hotel puts quiet first. The restaurant is for guests aged 13 and over, which makes it hard to fit in with young children.

    Exceptional hotel, extremely friendly staff, and literally only steps away from Nara deer park. We visited the hotel in December, and were fortunate enough to take stunning photos with the cherry blossom at the entrance!

    Exceptional hotel!! The room is great, the restaurant is better, the wine list is top notch and the service is truly world class! Feels more like a private home than a hotel. So many pleasant surprises from the bar to the music salon - which is a must visit. But in the end, the staff is the true star! Next time I think I should only stay here and commute to Kyoto and Osaka

    A trio of us stayed here during our short visit to Nara. The service is A+++ in that it is incredibly attentive, service oriented and friendly. The location is very close to getting to the park and a tad bit longer to the train (all walkable). We had dinner at their formal French restaurant and really enjoyed our meal - it was delicious and they were gracious enough to cater to my dietary restrictions. I would recommend staying here and dining here as well!
