This hostel is near the historic shines but some distance from anywhere that serves food after 4 PM. Be prepared to walk into town and back after the buses stop running around 5 PM.

The facility has thin walls and creaky floors so if you are a light sleeper, this may wake you up.

Other than the area around the inn having very few restaurants that all close around 4-5 pm (which is to be expected because it's in the park) which led us to walk a good while to get groceries, we had a very nice stay and even found that to accommodate for the lack of stores nearby, there are some instant ramens and other food to purchase in the common area for dinner past five pm. Thank you for hosting us!

Great location deep inside of Nara Park.
First off: the listing says laundry facilities are available, but they are not (yet). This is important because the nearest laundromat is 30 minutes away. Otherwise, it's a wonderful place to stay overnight in Nara. We spent 3 nights enjoying the park. Deer right outside every morning. 2 great restaurants right down the stairs, but everything nearby closes around 16:00. Drink machines abound, but plan to stock up at the 7-11 at the park entrance (15 minutes) to cook dinner or have snacks at the Inn. They offer a small selection of instant ramen and such you can purchase for 200 yen in the kitchen if you forget and are hungry. Very kind staff. Just keep in mind you won't have access to laundry or convenient store hours.

Felt very welcome and also thankful to the staff who recommended that we get food before everything closed in the area. They sent emails prior, to warn us which was great. The hotel is a little old but clean. I had a very simple room with a double bed and AC unit, shared bathroom and shower. They let us store our luggage a few hours in the morning after check out. Overall loved how close it was to the temples. I would definitely stay here again!

This hotel is located right by Wakakusayama, so quiet, deer sitting in front of hotel, super nice morning walk area! Owner was friendly, gave us good information. You can cook your own food at kitchen, so you can stay long. room was just like own bedroom, very comfortable. The bathrooms are not in your room, but very clean! My daughter loved here, so we will go back again!!

Good but better air circulation needed
All was as per my expectation. But ventilation in public dining area is bit stuffy. It can be improved if there's vent or window to bring in some fresh air from outside.

Close to nature
The motel is located inside the deer park that is close encounter to the deer. Not suitable for family with young children due to the motel condition. Share toilet and shower room only two and three respectively. The hotel should install hot and cold water dispenser direct from drinking water supply instead of using boiling thermo flash. Run out of water during peak hour and had to wait. Check out time too early.

It felt refreshing staying amidst the park together with the deers. The host was very friendly and approachable and prior to arrival, they provide useful information about how to get there.

Friendly staff. Excellent location. Not difficult to get taxi to and from train station. Arrived late evening and didn't eat previously. Staff helped us order some takeout; quality of food was excellent and price was cheap. Not as inconvenient as I thought. Would stay again!

Super friendly staff and huge room for Japan standards. Very chill vibe as well in the whole place. It reminds me of a huge wood cabin. The showers and bathrooms are shared but it wasn't an issue despite being fully booked. It's a bit far from the metro but right in the center of the park, which is great to see the night lights etc..
