Best Hotels near Suwa Shrine, Minamiyamashiro

The hotel is located in Iga City. We drive by car. It is actually easier to find through car navigation. However, it is located in a small road in a residential area and it is easy to miss. However, the hotel is the tallest building nearby and easy to see. The hotel has free parking spaces, but if the parking is full, you have to park at the Morikawa Hospital parking lot two intersections away. Give the hotel a parking ticket. The hotel will give a 500 yen subsidy. It is very good. The breakfast is also great. When you check in Make a reservation in advance, 800 yen per person, very good Japanese breakfast

Very satisfactory! Location is ok ! Very close to local train and bus station but for JR is 15 minutes walk, though the JR has a bus line for it but you still need to pay $220.and have to wait every 20 minutes! the local bus is more convenient! Room is big and comfortable! Would recommend and come back again!

Welcomed right from the get go even though our room wasn't quite ready! The staff were incredibly kind. Honestly, finding an affordable accommodation in Nara at this good of a location does not come easy, and so if you're traveling on a budget this is an excellent option. Room was very clean, air conditioning worked very well on those hot summer days, we were in the budget room but it was still decently comfortable and spacious for two people. Definitely would recommend.

It has a good location, a long history, and retro architecture. Many celebrities once lived there. The restaurant inside is also a famous restaurant, and you need to book in advance to enjoy it. Excellent service from the service staff. A female lobby staff member named ”Li” in Japanese provided very good service. Even though we didn't understand the language, she took the trouble to communicate with me. She also helped us call a car and sent us to the car. The Japanese service is absolutely top notch. It is also true that the room facilities are outdated. See picture.

It was the second time to use it, but the facilities are wide 々 and comfortable. The hot springs were comfortable. Some of the products at the shop were not priced, and when I asked the front desk, they looked it up, but it seemed that I didn't know when I asked, ”Is it individual packaging?” I pushed it from under the box and said, ”It's individual packaging.” and so on. The restaurant was very delicious (IgA beef) and I was happy that the price was cheap, but the man in black clothes who guided me felt very good, but he was a foreigner and didn't seem to have any knowledge of cooking. Japanese locals explained in detail about the sake set. I want to use it again because the cospa can be relaxed well.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my family of 4 (a couple and 2 elementary school students) during the year-end and New Year holidays. This inn seems to have opened in October 2022 after being renovated from another ryokan, so it feels more for foreigners than for Japanese people. Of course, the staff can communicate in Japanese, but they seemed to be foreign nationals. All staff were friendly. It was my first time in Nara, but the location was good. It is close to Nara Park, and all shrine areas such as Kasuga Taisha are within walking distance. It is also an area where there are many stylish restaurants, so I think adults can enjoy it. My family had two elementary school students who liked and disliked meals, so I prefer family restaurants and Italian restaurants rather than bars and izakayas, but it was okay. There is no elevator, but the suitcases and luggage I left before check-in were carried to the room. It's a wooden building, so the walls are thin, and there was a sign saying no loud noises. The bath is a hot spring and the spring quality is good, but it cannot be said that it is large. There are 3 showers in the men's bath and 10 lockers with locks in the dressing room, but it was so cramped if two adults changed clothes at the same time. If you are an adult, it is better to have about 2 people at the same time, and if 3 to 4 people enter, it will be full. It's just a little bigger than a home bath. There was one coin laundry. You need to bring your own detergent, but there is a washing machine and dryer, which is recommended for long-term guests and those who want to keep luggage to a minimum. Necessary amenities are available at the front desk. There is no refrigerator and TV in the room, so it would be nice if it was easy, but it was a little inconvenient when drinking alcohol bought at a convenience store in the room. The toilet in the room has also been renovated, and it feels like a clean home toilet.

I was looking for a spacious place to relax in my room during my stay, so I decided to stay here. There is a hot spring, but I made a reservation without knowing that I would be able to use it until 10 p.m., and the nearby restaurants close early at night, so I prioritized dinner and checked in, so I couldn't get up early in the morning. In the end, it was not possible to use it. The room I stayed in was really spacious and had several large sofas so I was able to spend a relaxing time. There was no problem with the room itself, but there was an inexplicable smell in the hallway on the accommodation floor, probably due to disinfection. I think the building is valuable because it feels like a good old big hotel from the Showa era. I thought it was a good time as the shop in front of the front desk was stocked with a variety of items. There was a convenience store within walking distance, so I didn't feel inconvenienced.

Right next to Nara Jr Station. You can overlook Nara Castle. The route to the hotel is based on the reviews of previous customers, which is very accurate. There is a convenience store downstairs, and a large supermarket further ahead that is open until 24 o'clock. The surrounding facilities and transportation are convenient. The hotel is quite new. I have stayed in Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto many times. If you are sightseeing, staying in Nara is really comfortable. We spent the last two days shopping before returning to Osaka to stay. There really isn't much to buy here. The main thing is to take a leisurely walk, visit small shops and eat, and there are many temples and attractions. The details of the hotel are very good. All the small things you need are placed in the drawers and they are kept clean. I didn't hear any noise either.

It is a building that feels the age at first glance, but when I stepped in, the nostalgic space that was carefully maintained spread. The room I stayed in ”Awafuji” was a really nice room. In a tatami room with a wide 々, the ceiling is high and you can feel ”I came to stay at my grandparents' house”. I thought it was lit up without worrying when I saw the garden at night. It was only once that I was able to meet the staff because it was a corona cherry blossom, but I was able to feel the hospitality of the hospitality. I would like to let you go again.

My favorite hotel during the whole trip to Kansai🏨 First of all, the location is invincible and convenient, just outside Nara Station! There is even a dedicated elevator to their home! I have never stayed in such a convenient location. I was worried that it would be noisy at night, but it turned out to be super quiet (I didn’t sleep well in Osaka and Kyoto, so pitiful) Secondly, the service attitude is super good! And the service staff speaks English better than anyone I have met in Osaka! The communication was complete💯The attitude was also super good, very patient, highly recommended! There is also a hot spring at this price♨️Who knows! Yukata and toiletry bags are provided. The room size is enough for one person anyway. I especially like the feeling that there is a TV at the end of the bed and a window next to the bed! Extremely comfortable. There is a password lock when entering the door, which is very convenient without a room card. Just post the magnet ”check out” outside the door when you check out. It's so smart. I will stay here again next time I come to Nara.
