Hotels near Gangoji Temple, Nara City

"Our first Onyado Nono experience and we are already looking forward to future stays. Wasn't expecting much for city hotel onsen but surprised it even had a good size outdoor option + sauna& cold pool. . The breakfast buffet was amazing, got to try lots of local dishes. Parking at hotel was abit pricy. 1500 ¥ per day but it does allow unlimited in and out. You can probably find cheaper options around the hotel if willing to walk. We just parked for 2 days and walked around the shopping district + Nara Park (25mins). Lots of food options nearby."

"We went during cherry blossom season, so the price was a bit steep, but the quiet, natural surroundings made it a great place to relax. The hotel has a hot spring and an open-air bath, which is nice. You can reserve meals in advance and enjoy a course meal for dinner and a buffet-style breakfast. And late at night, the hotel's main entrance seems to be closed. I wasn't given an explanation, so I was a bit confused, but there's a bell next to the door. Just call the staff and ask them to open the door for you."

"A pleasant stay. There is a great variety of food in the breakfast buffet. The location is great and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby."

"Absolutely magnificent. The structure, location and staff is pure perfection. It felt like we were living in another epoch."

"The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and very comfortable. The almond shower gel was heavenly. I was also impressed with the breakfast buffet, many options all beautifully presented. I would definitely recommend this hotel."

"The hotel is actually not far from Shin-Omiya Station. If you're carrying a suitcase, just walk along the road by the railway. When you see a drainage ditch with cherry blossom trees, turn left, and you'll find the hotel. If you follow Google Maps along the main road, you'll be on a gravel path the whole way. The hotel is new and even provides toothbrushes and slippers for kids. It would be great if they had a shuttle service on weekdays as well. I hope to return during the autumn leaves season!"

"Lovely little hotel with a walkable to Nara Park location. The room was small but fine for one person. I appreciated using the hot springs after a long day of walking around. The room was warm and comfortable."

"Great little hotel. Very close to the deer park. Very modern, clean, functional and elegant. Rooms are considerably bigger than most Japanese hotels. It’s located up a little hill, so it’s away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist strip. Highly recommend."

"The new hotel has a great location, very close to Dodai-ji Temple and Kasuga Shrine. The rooms are spacious and the water pressure is strong. The only downside is the lack of curtains. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful."

"The hotel is in a great location. The room is very nice, but with two main weaknesses: no hooks for towels, and no curtains so the sunlight will wake you up. The staff was very helpful in booking a restaurant for us, but very annoying at the end of our stay as they charged us 2000 yen when one of our bedroom cards fell in the bedroom into the space between the wooden floor and the wall! 😤😑"
