"I went here as a single traveller with little to Japanese language skills and found it amazing. Though the staff had limited English, everything was communicated well and I felt very welcomed and comfortable. It’s very close to all the main attractions of Nara, but out of the way enough to where you’re not surrounded by people all the time. If I ever go back to Nara, I will certainly stay here again. "

Asukasou

8/10 Good

"The location in Nara is unbeatable!! The experience was nice and the breakfast was wonderful. Staff was wonderful as well. But the hotel is in desperate need of a renovation. The common areas are in really bad shape. At this price range we did expect much better installations. Also are planning to pay extra for the 5 story pagoda view DON’T!! It is under renovation and covered. Looks like you are in front of a big factory warehouse building"

Piazza Hotel Nara

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very pleasant stay at Piazza Hotel Nara. Although the hotel is located right next to the train station and the bus loop, the room was completely quiet. The room as well as the hotel facilities were perfectly clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to accommodate my requests, such as extending my stay on short notice without needing to change rooms. I also enjoyed the breakfast buffet in the restaurant. Great selection of food, very tasty."

Novotel Nara

SUPER HOTEL Premier JR Nara Station

"Staff is good service and kind"

HARUYA Naramachi - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"This was my favourite place we stayed on our trip so far. It was so quiet and peaceful both in the hostel and the neighbourhood. It’s about a 20 minute walk to get to Nara Park and you’re likely to run into some deer on your way there as they tend to come right into town in addition to hanging in the park. There are laundry facilities and a smoking area in the back garden. Rice porridge is served each morning and there are free and paid beverages available. There was no staff on site due to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, but the autonomous luggage storage and check-in instructions were easy to follow. I will definitely be returning in the future!"

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta

"部屋が綺麗で良いホテルでした"

Hotel Nikko Nara

"Very convenient location & high quality service. I only wish they open their restaurant a little longer!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Takao?

For visitors to Takao, the best place to stay is within the Takao village itself, particularly near the three primary temples: Jingoji, Saimyoji, and Kozanji.This small, tranquil village is located in the mountains northwest of Kyoto, offering a peaceful retreat.

The traditional ryokan (Japanese inns) often feature private baths and exquisite kaiseki (multi-course) dinners, superb for a relaxing getaway.
