It's close to the station, there's a supermarket next door (although it closes early), and a convenience store nearby, which is helpful.Breakfast is simple with onigiri and soup, bread in a bag, and it's a shame that there are no vegetables like other Toyoko Inns.However, the onigiri tempura was delicious, so I recommend it.A strange bento case is difficult to use when carrying onigiri and bread to the room, so I would be happy if it was something like a tray.

A stable Toyoko Inn.There are many restaurants at night, but if you want to eat outside, you can use the supermarket next door. However, be careful as it closes around 8pm.The breakfast repertoire is generally small, but miso soup and rice balls are enough for me.

It's conveniently located near the station, and the rooms are clean and a little compact, but it's not a problem since I'm just staying there. The rice ball set breakfast service is also nice.

Toyoko Inn offers constant service, so you can rest assured. Breakfast has been unified to rice balls. It's a bit disappointing that there are no side dishes. Will it be unified?

It is not recommended to use the JR Nara Line rather than the Kintetsu Nara Line. For an adult male who walks quickly, it takes about 10 minutes to get to JR Nara Station. In the case of Nara, the route buses are biased towards Nara Park, and it is not easy to access this place by city bus. Not recommended if you use the JR Pass. I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights... As a Toyoko Inn member, I can say that rice balls and small bread in a bag were provided for breakfast for 2 days straight. I have stayed at various Toyoko Inns in Korea and Japan more than 20 times, but the breakfast at this place has improved. You need this. I can say this because the rates are not that cheap. The elderly staff who work hard to prepare rice balls (onigiri) in the morning are really friendly, but the meal is not very good. It would be nice if meals were provided at the standard Toyoko Inn level. Although there are many different types of rice balls, it was difficult to eat rice balls for two days in a row. Shin-Omiya Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line is a 1-minute walk from the hotel, and there are ample restaurants and convenience facilities such as Seven, a supermarket (short business hours), a gyoza shop, a takoyaki shop, and a ramen shop within 30 seconds from the hotel entrance.

Stayed in a twin room. The room is just the right size, neither large nor small, giving you a sense of security. The amenities were also good.However, the pillow smelled of aging, which was unpleasant.

I stayed for three consecutive nights from August 14th to 16th, 2024, just like last time. This is my third time using it. Until last time, I had come to Nara by private car, but this was my first time renting a car. They also secured a multi-story parking lot, which was helpful. The free breakfast had been changed to onigiri. It was delicious.I stayed for three consecutive nights from December 27th to 29th, 2023.This is my second time using it in about 10 years. It was convenient for traveling around Nara. Traveling by train didn't take long as it was right in front of the station. Getting in and out of the hotel's multi-storey parking lot was smooth. It is convenient to check in and check out using a card key. I was able to eat breakfast in the lobby on the first floor starting at 6:30 a.m., which was a big help for me as I had to go out early. Guests carry the necessary amenities such as toothbrushes, razors, and nightgowns from the front desk on the first floor to their rooms.
