Best hotel in Nara!
Many people say do Nara as a day trip but we disagree. Nara is a wonderful town full of artisans and cutting edge design and a slower pace of life. The Hotel New Wakasa reflects that spirit and is a top notch Japanese hotel with exceptional service, gorgeous rooms and a wonderful public bath. We can’t say enough about our time there and what wonderful time we had there. Thank you!

We loved the proximity to Nara Park and feeding the deer. The rooms and food was amazing. Great onsen, and of course playing with the deer was best for kids.
Seth, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice clean onsen in the room and the public bath.. Convenient parking right next to hotel. Location quite far and not easy to find when walking from shopping area of Nara especially at nite. Would be better if the newly renovated rooms has modern bed instead of Tatami as it is difficult to get up when the bed is on the floor.

Almost luxury ryokan but with a warm touch
It seems like a smaller business. The staff were very polite and helpful. We had a standard room with japanese style breakfast and dinner. Both were good experiencies. Also reserved the private bath which was nice with a good view. Room was newly renovated and cozy. Daily activities in Nara combined with the hotel was one of our best days in Japan. Would highly recommend

All of the staff are genuinely kind and wonderful. Lovely hotel close to Todai-Ji temple and all the deer you can handle. Nara is a magical place.

From the moment we steped on property they went above and beyond from the tea at check in to dinner and arranging a private night tour which we highly recommend to anyone in the area. Guide was funny, informative and a great photographer best hotel and tour ive ever taken!

10/10 Exceptional

The staff and amenities were excellent. The New Year breakfast menu was a nice treat and a wonderful way to experience Japanese New Year. Todaiji and other popular sightseeing spots are walking distance from the hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great time, wishing we could have stayed longer. The hospitality of the staff and amazing customer service definitely will make me come back. Give everyone a raise please.
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff here is absolutely wonderful. They were so kind and helpful. We had one of the smaller rooms, but still way more spacious than something in Tokyo within our price range. The room and private bath were so beautiful. We ordered the Japanese dinner and breakfast and it is a must if you stay here! You’ll try foods authentic to Nara specifically and the amount you receive is more than plenty. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone even for just one night, as that is what we did to relax in the middle of our busy trip.
Brooke, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a nice small boutique hotel with an attentive staff. My family of three, which included my wife and our young adult daughter, had been staying in more western-style hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto with 3 beds. Because of that, I was a little surprised when we arrived here and discovered a tatami room with a table and chairs and no beds or futons. What the staff explained is that when we wished to sleep we should notify them and they would come and remove the table and put down the futons. The process worked well but it did take some getting used to. They do have a very nice breakfast and onsite onsen.

とても丁寧な対応をして頂きました。 駅からは少し離れていますが、東大寺や興福寺など観光地へのアクセスが良好です。 夕食を食べる場所を決めかねていたのですが、ホテルの方のアドバイスに従ったところかなり満足できるものとなりました。奈良公園周辺について相談があればしてみるといいかもですね！ 朝食もとても美味しく朝から満足度の高い時間を過ごすことができました。 ホテル展望台は景色もよく、また子供が過ごせる場もありました。 部屋も清潔感が高くとても良かったです。 ぜひまた機会があれば利用したいですね。
