"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"

Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi

"This is a good hotel, but I would not reccomend it for occidental travellers. Pros: Convenient walkable location. Very spacious and clean room. Convenient lunch/coffee room with free coffee, water, ramen and teas. Japanese breakfast delivered to room (no option for continental breakfast). Need to schedule breakfast time. Coin laundry machine in basement (just 1). Japanese Spa (did not use it) Cons: Very uncomfortable japanese mattress. Shower stays on for 30 sec at a time (need to keep pushing the handle to restart - not terrible / just inconvenient) Noisy in the middle of the night. The Starbucks downstairs gets a vehicle around 4 am and it gets loud moving stuff for a about 20 min. The nearby temple gong sounds 6 times at 6 am. There are no curtains. There is too much light in summer mornings after 6-7 am. The TV is very old. no possibility to beam your device or use apps like Netflix. Bring an HDMI cable if you want to connect your laptop."

"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!"

When is the best time to go to Yoshino?
The best time to visit Yoshino is during the spring cherry blossom season, typically from late March to late April, or in the autumn for vibrant foliage, usually from late October to late November.Spring is when Yoshino truly comes alive, as its hillsides are famed for being covered in thousands of cherry trees. The Yoshino-yama area, particularly around the Shimo Senbon (lower 1,000 trees) and Naka Senbon (middle 1,000 trees) zones, offers breathtaking views of pink and white blossoms. This period is great for couples and nature lovers who appreciate stunning natural beauty and photography.For those who prefer a quieter experience and cooler temperatures, autumn offers spectacular displays of red, orange, and gold leaves. The same hillsides that burst with cherry blossoms in spring are transformed by the rich colours of the changing foliage.
