Kasuga Hotel

The room size was very generous. While the price wasn't cheap, it's pretty standard for Japan, especially considering the sheer space. A Japanese-style room spanning 45 square meters is quite luxurious for a hotel. The check-in experience was great; the staff were all very welcoming and spoke some English. Breakfast looked exquisite, but it wasn't a buffet, so you might not get a full meal out of it.

Forgot to take photos, but this hotel exceeded my expectations! I've always had a slight apprehension about Japanese hotels being small, but this one was surprisingly spacious. The room was fully equipped with amenities, including two air conditioners and a leg massager, which was great for relieving fatigue. The toiletries were a full set of POLA products, and the breakfast was very refined. The only thing that could be improved is that each person only gets one bottle of mineral water per night. Of course, the hotel's location is superb, right between Kintetsu Nara Station and Kofukuji Temple, which is a must-pass route for tourists heading to Nara Park.

A typical Japanese hotel with a spacious room and a separate toilet, bath, and sink area, allowing for a relaxing soak. The hotel also offers a free public onsen. The skincare products provided are by Pola. Breakfast is incredibly varied and changes daily, including a self-service natto bar. Snacks are also available. The service was almost *too* good – I came back for a nap midday to find the futon on the tatami mat had been put away, leaving me to lie on the hard floor. In the evening, two ladies came to make up the beds, and we had to quickly step out.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the train station exit. After an early check-in, we headed out to explore, and by the time we returned, our suitcases were already neatly arranged in the room. The Japanese yukata in the room was also lovely; we specifically requested geta sandals from the hotel and had a fun walk around the streets. The hot spring area was very clean and tidy, and the toiletries were excellent. Enjoyed chatting while soaking in the onsen both in the evening and morning. We specifically chose the Japanese breakfast, which was fantastic and definitely worth experiencing.

The location of Kasuga Hotel is fantastic, right next to Nara Park, and close to Nara Station and a main shopping street. Major attractions like Todaiji Temple are just a 10-minute walk away, which is incredibly convenient! The rooms are spacious, the facilities are excellent, and the service is great! Highly recommend!

The room is incredibly spacious, featuring three beds and a generous floor futon. It certainly lives up to its premium price tag (3000+). This Japanese-style tatami room comes with dual air conditioning, and the view from the window is quite lovely. There's also a communal hot spring bath. Kimonos and geta (wooden clogs) are provided, and you're welcome to wear them around the premises. They even thoughtfully provide a leg massager.
