Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi

Location to the temple and park was excellent. It had a great view and close to shops, restaurants. A great hotel and also next to a Starbucks!!

We loved the 2nd floor lounge that guests had access to, even though our room was a generous size. It was equipped with toasters, microwave, filtered water, soft drinks, and hot drinks. Our breakfast was delivered to our room each day in little bento boxes - we chose to eat in the aforementioned lounge. The hotel has a wonderful modern Japanese vibe, the rooms were very stylish. The on-site Onsen was very nice after a long day sightseeing. The hotel is very conveniently located for very easy access to Nara Park adjacent to Sarusawa Pond. There is even a Starbucks on site for those need it (even though there’s free coffee upstairs).

We really enjoyed our stay in a Western-style Japanese room. It was more spacious than many in Japan, with comfortable mattresses on a raised platform. There is a public bath in the hotel which was a nice way to relax in the afternoon. The hotel is right next to the entrance to Nara Deer Park and a five or six minute walk from Nara Kintetsu railway station. The area is relatively quiet at night but there are plenty of good dining options and it's convenient for shopping etc.
