The hotel was very nice! Our room was japanese style with à very large tatami room and a clean and functionnal bathroom.m with separate toilets. Futons beds were very comfortable, installed when we was dining by the staff.
We reserved an hour in the private onsen/spa, this was very romantic, but you have to like very very hot water !
The public onsen was very nice too!
Everything is provided in the room including japanese yukatas, tea and hot water, soaps, toothbrushes..
We took kaiseki dinner and breakfast. dinner was wonderful ! Very large set of dishes (about 10), very elegant cooking. Some tastes are strange for western people, but it definitively worth it.
Breakfast was very good too, but it is japanese, some people may not like eating sashimis and hot tofu at 8 am !
There is a bus stop at 3min walk. The nara park is at 5min, main shrine (big seated buddha) at 8min walk. The JR station is at 15-20min by bus and cost 210 yen. Another train station (kintestu) is at 13min walk.
There isn't much shops, bar or restaurants in the direct neighborhood, but if you go to kintestu station you will find Everything you need.
Staff was very lovely too ! we spent only one night, we would love spending much time there!
