Top location, great to sit in the park and experience it at sunset. All the tourists and coaches are gone, so enjoy the park. In terms of food, we had used ubereats as there was nothing nearby.

Sep 2024We stayed here for 5 nights and had a pleasant time. The owner was very friendly and recommend us some routes to explore the park.1. Location:The inn is inside the park, a 5-minute walk (including stairs) to the nearest bus stop. Buses start running early, and it's better to buy the 1-day pass (600¥) instead of using an IC card. The bus fare is 250¥ per ride, so it only takes 3 rides to cover the cost of the pass. If you're planning to explore the city, you'll be using the bus a lot more than that.For some people, this location might be inconvenient because there's nothing nearby for food and drink at night. However, we purposely chose this inn because we love hiking around the park and wanted to take our time exploring. You can easily access Todaiji, hike to Mt. Wakakusa right behind the inn for a sunset city view, or take a bus to Naramachi. I personally recommend walking to Todaiji at night to see the two Nio guardian statues. The nighttime atmosphere is tranquil, and with the soft dim light from the lanterns, it feels almost magical.2. FacilitiesOur room was clean and quite spacious, with three windows offering park views. It came with a hair dryer, two bath towels, and single-use toothbrushes and toothpaste. Our room's AC took a while to cool the space, but everything else was good.They have 3 shower rooms and 2 toilets, all of which were clean. The water pressure was very good, and all bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel.The common kitchen is fully equipped. Almost everyone staying at the inn bought food from 7-Eleven for breakfast the next morning. The inn also provides instant noodles for 250¥ per cup. Coffee, cocoa, and green tea are free.The wood floor is quite old so it will creak as you walk. They also have a “quiet time” which is after 11pm ‘til 8am, all the lights in the common space will be turn off. A washing machine is available for 300¥ per wash, and the dryer costs 100¥ for 10 minutes.The inn also has several maps introducing Nara and some local spots, including a bus route map and a sake guide. I actually tried a spot from the sake guide and liked it a lot.

The location is perfect if you want to stay away from the crowds, especially in the evening or early morning when the hordes of tourists have gone. When you walk out of the hotel you literally find deer outside your door. The people working at the front desk are welcoming and friendly and also show you a map of the park suggesting the best spots, including for a nice sunset. The room was clean and so were the showers/bathrooms. Nice common area where you can meet other people, have dinner/breakfast or have coffee/tea.
