Great location right next to JR station and at the bottom of the road that leads to the park and the Great Buddha Hall. Loved the Japanese style (but with comfi beds). The Onsen was AMAZING. There were lots of free snacks like Yakut, ice cream and late night Soba. And fab massage chairs. Great treat at the end of a walking trip. Staff were great too.

It’s the best of Japanese style Ryokan hotel that we have experienced in Japan so far. The personalised service is warm and wonderful. It reflects Japanese culture in a respect of people who are ultra-polite, diligent, thoughtful, meticulous and artistic tasteful. good location - Nara Park… etc. and local specialty shopping streets nearby.

Enjoyed staying at Rokune hotel. Had a nice roomy apartment on the 4the floor. Apartment was spacious, with 2 nice and comfy double beds, very big bathroom. Appreciated the free skin care products, water, coffee and tea. Check-in was super easy with 2 codes(1 for the front door, panel on the right hand side of the door and 1 for the apartment) that you receive via mail. Would definitely stay here again when I come back to Nara. Nearby the train station, so very convenient as well.

Staff was very courteous, professional and friendly. Provided very clear explanation of the facilities and what was available for us including carpark, breakfast times, onsen usage. Brings back memories of hotel in the 90s that is kept & maintained so well. Wide lobby space, good spread of breakfast and onsen with yukatas, slippers, towels, toiletries etc. Would highly recommend staying at this beautiful hotel.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan. It has really beautiful natural environment, lovely deer that you can easily see while walking on the street, and very friendly people. It has played a very important role in Japanese history (e.g. Horyuji, Toshodaija, etc. are important world heritage sites), but it does not have that many visitors as Kyoto, which makes traveling in Nara a lot more pleasant than travelling in Kyoto. I highly recommend people to travel to southern part of Nara Prefecture (e.g. Horyuji, Asuka-dera, Tsubosaka-dera, Oka-dera, etc.).

i liked the Kashihara Jingu and the visit to various burial places of former tenno. on my last day, i visited the Omiwa Jinja; there is an observation hill where you could watch the sunset over Kashihara city. walking around town however, you can notice the signs of declining population and abandoned shops. there are a few good ramen shops in the area if you know where to find them, like Saika Ramen, highly recommended for its spicy flavour.

Nara is beautiful.

Nara is beautiful. There are two UNESCO world heritage sites and lots of deer. If you are afraid of animals, I don't recommend it. The deer will follow you if you have food and they may try to take it from you if you hesitate or don't gently push them away. They are not, as a general rule, aggressive. A lot of tourists freak out and just throw their crackers. Don't do that. Stay calm. The deer don't want to hurt you, they just want a snack. They don't care for being pet either. Just snap your crackers (200 yen sold at different stands) into 3-4 pieces, hold out your hand flat and let them take it from you. Be aware of how many are around you. They will surround and nibble your clothing. I found this hilarious. I grew up with cows and they will pretty much do the same thing. Use your voice and be gentle. The one day bus pass is really useful. I wish I had more time in Nara.
