Great location right next to JR station and at the bottom of the road that leads to the park and the Great Buddha Hall. Loved the Japanese style (but with comfi beds). The Onsen was AMAZING. There were lots of free snacks like Yakut, ice cream and late night Soba. And fab massage chairs. Great treat at the end of a walking trip. Staff were great too.

Don't miss staying in this hotel if you find it available.

We spent 15 days in Japan and this hotel was without a doubt our best stay of all!!! The hotel is absolutely immaculate — super clean, modern, with a huge and very comfortable room! An incredible view!! Pure luxury! Fantastic bathroom products, a very large bathroom with the toilet and shower separated — truly a dream room! The staff were all amazing, super friendly, and there was free parking right in front of the hotel! Breakfast itself was a whole experience!! Delicious bread and croissants, a Japanese set with fantastic food, great coffee, fresh juices, and local teas! I could go on all day praising this hotel — it was truly incredible, and definitely one I’d love to repeat someday.

Nara Setre Naramachi exceeded our expectations with its charming wooden exterior and cozy interior. The staff's kindness towards my children added a personal touch to our stay.

Highly recommend for a memorable and family-friendly getaway.

What an experience! From the moment we got there all staff came to greet us. They served us with matcha tea and showed us to our room. The room is really beautiful and has a very cool japanese style look. The onsen was a highlight of the stay. They give you all the info you need to understand the rules to use it, and it’s such a great experience to have. Everything in the hotel was so clean and beautiful, the employees were super polite. A 10/10 experience, would really recommend this.

The room was very clean and, as for the amenities, were fully provided. On the 6th floor it has the Japanese dai-yokujo (huge baths, devided by gender). Best location possible, as, once you arrive at Nara and get off the train, it's on the same level of the train station: you. can drop the luggages and start your sightseeing. It provides different restaurants, such as the Japanese Teppanyaki, where the ingredients were supreme, including the wagyu (tried this food exp).

A self-contained room with all the amenities located in a quiet street with a short pleasant walk to Nara Station and all the monuments. It was a great base for day tripping and sightseeing. I liked that you could leave the key at the reception during the day so it wouldn't be lost. The staff were very kind and helpful. The hotel also has a sweet souvenir shop in the lobby where you can buy locally made gifts, which was nice.

Nara has a lot going on. Lots of wonderful food, decent shopping and the Park is huge! There is way more to the park that is initially revealed in tourism blogs. We really loved early morning walks thought the park without the crowds. We spent 3 days there, and felt like it was perfect.

I really enjoyed my stay.

I really enjoyed my stay. The area is peaceful and the hotel has a very relaxed, but high-end vibe, minus amenities like pool, gym, restaurants. Although they have a nice restaurant next door with grocery/gift shop. The staff are wonderful and make you feel very welcomed! The hotel is at a base of the mountain and is outside the city which is worked for me, but if you need to be in the center till late, you will need to chip out the $10 taxi ride from the station. Will definitely visit again!

i liked the Kashihara Jingu and the visit to various burial places of former tenno. on my last day, i visited the Omiwa Jinja; there is an observation hill where you could watch the sunset over Kashihara city. walking around town however, you can notice the signs of declining population and abandoned shops. there are a few good ramen shops in the area if you know where to find them, like Saika Ramen, highly recommended for its spicy flavour.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan. It has really beautiful natural environment, lovely deer that you can easily see while walking on the street, and very friendly people. It has played a very important role in Japanese history (e.g. Horyuji, Toshodaija, etc. are important world heritage sites), but it does not have that many visitors as Kyoto, which makes traveling in Nara a lot more pleasant than travelling in Kyoto. I highly recommend people to travel to southern part of Nara Prefecture (e.g. Horyuji, Asuka-dera, Tsubosaka-dera, Oka-dera, etc.).
