Frequently asked questions about hotels in Nara
What are the best landmarks to visit in Nara and around?
Nara is packed with incredible landmarks! You definitely want to see Todai-ji Temple, home to the Great Buddha, and Kasuga Taisha Shrine, known for its thousands of stone and bronze lanterns. If you're looking to venture out a bit, you could visit the Yoshino and Omine mountain ranges for stunning scenery and ancient temples.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Nara?
Which area in Nara is a good option for staying in a hotel?
Nara is quite compact, so you're never far from the action, but I'd recommend staying near Nara Park. It's a short walk from the main attractions, and you'll be surrounded by friendly deer. The area around Kintetsu Nara Station is also a good choice, with plenty of hotels and restaurants.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Nara?
Nara Park is a fantastic free attraction, where you can wander amongst the deer and enjoy the scenery. You can also visit Kasuga Taisha Shrine for free, just be sure to check the opening hours. For a small fee, you can enter the Todai-ji Temple and marvel at the Great Buddha.
Where can you find the best traditional local cuisine in Nara?
Nara is famous for its 'Nara-zushi', a unique type of sushi made with fermented fish. You can find this local delicacy at many restaurants around the city, particularly in the area near Kintetsu Nara Station. I'd recommend trying the 'Nara-men' ramen, which is another local specialty.
You'll find various hotel chains in Nara, including the popular chains like the Hotel Gracery, APA Hotel, and Toyoko Inn. These offer a good range of options for different budgets.
Nara has a great selection of hotels, from budget-friendly guesthouses and capsule hotels to mid-range business hotels and luxury ryokans. You can also find some charming boutique hotels in the city.
Nara is popular, especially during peak seasons like spring (cherry blossom season) and autumn (maple leaf season). It's best to book your hotel well in advance, especially if you're travelling during these times. You can usually find good deals if you book a few months ahead.
