The interior of the hotel was clean, and the air was refreshingly cool and refreshing. Breakfast was delicious, and the seafood and curry were even better than what I've had at specialty restaurants. Upon entering the hotel, you're greeted by a tranquil atmosphere, which I believe stems from the building's interior design.

I drove there and parking was 1500yen overnight. It's not close to Nara station but if you're early enough, there's a hotel shuttle bus connecting Nara station. A rather new hotel and the room was nice and clean. The mirror near the entrance was embedded with a touchscreen for checking availability of laundry, restaurant occupancy etc. There's a public bath on 2/F to enjoy. I tried the dinner buffet which was not bad and not too crowded. At breakfast time, you expect queuing up for food.

Staying in other hotels to pass a night come here , come here .Before frozing in the japans languages , learning them is better to understanding for what they say to become a gentleman in nice suits what the elevators in the hotel says to us .As if it didn't lead us to where we want to go , if it trapped us in a very while in the space , we should obey it , like a man called a gentleman.It would have operated itself to 5 floor , it should have sent us to the hotel room before it has left us in confused situation, seeing ourselves derailing on the track to the right course . In the frighten moments we have praied for our security in a forein land that it will have never happened to us like this that at surprise we have to ride in another elevator to go up there asking why it is not moving , stopped operating and persistent to stay there at the place without moving by pushing it by a button . Language is power and strength to understand its curture and rule before we are out of wits to find right ways from hell .Rather than saying it is far from our expectstion and we must reduce each tall and weight to fit the shower room as it is not shower room we are used to seeing in others hotels to use it for bath , we solemly accept the room and enter it by saying thankyou to it because it will wash away our travel fatigue in hot water in a cozy space so it is more romantic, prettier than bigger in shower room that is not beautiful and we are in japan and accept its culture as though it is so uncomfortable place compared with our bath culture in korea .On the top of all those, we will be there after becoming a smart person and educating japanse languages to understand what the remote control says to us when we ready to watch TV. We should immerse ourselves in mediation to feel greater for having TV in the room and get one more appriciate to the remore control in holding our hands to learn japanse languages again by seeing and reading it , though it takes us about 10 minutes to operate TV and it is more benevolent to cause us to push any buttons on it randomly so we thankyou them for having not givin us instruction of Korean language to understand how to operate TV linked to japanse written remot control on which channels we should see to get more interesting in or not to mention on which channels we have watched in home town to get relex or exciting . For your commitment and promises to deeply serve of our invite to your hotel We have indefinitely appriciated you especially for three bottle of drinking in the refrigerator , which are very essential for us who got tired body from journy on foreign island , cool 3 water for free and a 2 sets night wears for the legendary night to wear ,all are your deep care of us . We should feel sorry for employee of the hotel, who are working hard for us , not show them a warm, soft , gentle smile , even though we are their customers , we are used to offering it to our friends and families so we apologize and ask for forgiveness at the front desk and kitchen and we honor you your breakfast as a feast for celebration so we appreciate your efforts to give us deliciuous meals and make us one of the celebrites instead of treating customers .Never we have forgotten to soak our bodies in hot spring sauna of second floor of hotel . You are a very kind hearted man to offer your precious bath house for the public who stay there to pass a night , which is valuable experience in the forein land and beside you have the rooftop to be enjoyed for any one and though the prices on the menu is somewhat expensive , the beauty and sight are worth of staying there and furthermore one employee , working for only rooftop customers, looking sterling and gets us to be absorved of her kindness at us , sending customer into hysterics and serving people by bringing food with smiling while cleaning the tables , the emplyee helped herself out .
