The hotel is located in the old, historic district of Nara, a short taxi ride (about 10mins; Y1000 approx.) from the main JR Nara Station. The Kintetsu... More

Right next to Nara station. Rooms are very modern. The hotel must be very new. Staff are incredibly helpful. Free internet in rooms. I'd recommend it.
