I LOVED my stay here. This was my second time staying at Hotel New Wakasa, but this time I stayed as a solo traveler. The staff were so welcoming, friendly, and helpful with any questions I had. I was given a map of Nara upon arrival and the staff shared their walking route recommendations with me. I had arrived before check-in time, but was able to leave my luggage with the staff before heading out to walk around Nara. The room itself was clean and very calming for a restful stay. The onsen on the bottom floor was a wonderful experience and it was relaxing to hear the rain tapping on the roof over the bath. Dinner was incredible - one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. The staff were so attentive during the meal, telling me about what I was eating and its history. There also was a violinist that night who played specially requested songs from each of the guests. Breakfast was just as good - I recommend always ordering the traditional Japanese meals! There is also a rooftop terrace where you can relax and enjoy a beautiful view of Nara (both city and park) The futon mattress was comfortable and it was nice to have a cup of tea in the room at the end of a long day of walking around Nara. I cannot wait for the next time I stay here!

I was not expecting such an amazing experience for such a low price point. My trip to Nara was a random whim nearing the end of my 10 day first trip to Japan which included Tokyo and Kyoto. After being in the bigger cities I wanted to get out into nature a bit so I last minutes picked this place since it was highlighted as being in the mountains and half way to a hike I had planned on the Kumano Kodo trail 4 hours away. This hotel EXCEEDED my expectations and was not only beautifully designed but cozy. I will recommend this place to anyone in the area. I was late to check after getting lost on the trains and was so worried that I wouldn't be able to check in. Since I sent them an email as requested before 20:00 and stating my dilemma the staff was ready for me when I finally arrived. This was maybe the best hotel experience I've had in Japan yet. Between the price point for the in room rouyken and the absolutely gorgeous finishes on the room design and light this was 10/10. I will definitely be back.

Very well located 10 min from Nara station, this hotel is so charming between modern with a touch of traditional :) Offering two different breakfast western or traditional which were delicious. I appreciated the private onsen upstair with the view - the Yucatan that they provide and that you can were in the hotel for your comfort - the free guide that they offer for a visit of Nara, I spend the day with Michiko she was adorable it was amazing to know about the temples and the tradition and be able to share with local person make you feel in total immersion with the place !

The room was incredible. It was one of their newer renovated rooms and was really breathtaking. The attention to detail was amazing! The private onsen tub and view was so special. The meals we had (dinner and breakfast) were probably some of the best we’ve ever had in our lives. Both left us very full, both physically and emotionally. The staff were also wonderful, especially the person who brought us to our rooms and explained how everything worked, and the server at the restaurant. Also a super convenient location, walking distance from the Nara train station.

this was a fabulous hotel, the service was definitely 5 star standard. The reception staff were so lovely and little extras like free cake in the lobby in the evening made it extra special. The room was great and felt like a real experience, the futons on the floor surprisingly comfy. The onsen on the ground floor was really peaceful and if you dont have a private onsen in your room you can book the one on the roof for only 20 pounds for an hour and it was well worth it, especially at sunset.
