Hotel Nikko Nara, hotel in Nara

Set in Nara, Hotel Nikko Nara is connected to JR Nara Station. Tōdai-ji temple and the Nara Park can be reached within a 30-minute walk from the property.

The hotel is literally a few feet from the Nara station exit and it was easy to find the sign to go to the 3rd floor lobby of the hotel. There is also a big supermarket right next to the hotel and across from the Nara station, and the Tourist Information Center is right next to the supermarket. The Nara Park, Todaiji Temple and the other attractions are within walking distance from the hotel and through a lively shopping street. The bus stops are also right in front of the station. The room was clean, comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The amenities provided in the room, including a hot water kettle, fridge, and a yukata for using the public bath (if one is interested) were very good. One of the nice things I noticed in the hotel was the self-storage lockers for storing luggage near the reception desk either before or after check-in. The reception staff was also able to provide me with a tourist map. The hotel lobby also had free coffee in the morning, which was nice. If I were to visit Nara again, I would definitely stay in this hotel.

Loved the location - so close to the park! The self check-in was good. The room was spacious and bed comfortable. There was a little fridge and some basic dishes too (even though cooking was not allowed). It was nice to have a sofa to relax after walking around Nara all day. The shower and bath was really good too.

    The Todaiji temple and the Kofuku-ji Buddhist temple next to...

    The Todaiji temple and the Kofuku-ji Buddhist temple next to it are a must-see. The museum was okay. The Isui-en Wisteria garden was okay too but it was too crowded because the flowers were in bloom. There are a number of restaurants and cafes on the street from the Nara Station to Nara Park. Walking from Hotel Nikko/Nara Station to Nara Park and walking to all the attractions nearby was very tiring. So, I may recommend taking the bus on the way back, if possible. Also, it suddenly started raining in the afternoon and luckily, I had an umbrella with me. I wished I had more time to see some of the other attractions outside of the Nara Park.

    The best advice I can give is find where the biggest crowds are massed, all trying to impress deer with the same rice crackers that everyone else is trying to feed them, then pick a direction and walk away from them. There is so much more to the park: primeval forests, ancient stone pathways leading to temples and small villages older than most of our own countries, hidden pockets of lost time. It is hard to explain how it feels to not have another human being in sight, finding yourself passing stone idols carved by people hundreds of years ago, only to see a deer eating moss from the base of said idol that stops chewing to literally bow to you. Of course you bow back and scramble in your bag for some kind of treat to offer your new best friend (I recommend unsalted pretzel sticks, the deer hate plain rice crackers as much as we do at this point) and then having it gently eat from the palm of your hand, before you both again swap polite bows and go on your merry way. Then you hear a crow sing from the ancient forest behind you, and you just know: this is pretty cool.

    Nice place, parks, plenty of temples, huge Buddha statues, a little ride by train and you can see the oldest still standing wooden building in the world! And of course the deer! Feeding the deer with the deer cookies is fun and a little scary as they are quite bold and can pull and push you a bit. Good food available as well.

    There’s a lot to see in Nara but it is quite spread out. Buses are easy to use though. Taxis can get busy - couldn’t get a booking. There are two amazing restaurants at the bus station. And there’s a seismic company building that is really interesting, and even has a great view from the top.

    Super location. From the windows I could see the roof Kofuku-Ji and the Pagoda (trees block some view but ok). The temple is just a couple hundreds of meters away. It's literally in Nara Park. One can walk to Todai-ji, Kasuga Taisha. Many restaurants to choose from. Shopping areas are nearby. Kitetsu Station is 10 minutes walk. The room is spacious and clean. No frill but everything works fine. Super Clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will most definitely recommend to solo travelers

    The Location of the hotel is good for going to Nara Park or the Temple with the great Buddha Hall. The breakfast is good, though were still not sure why you can't order the ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast and just the Breads with different toppings (jam, beans, butter,egg). The room is very small if you travel with big suitcases but it works. The Bathroom is also good but very small. The famous Mochi maker and a good Street for souvenirs and dining is also very close.

    Wonderful hotel in Nara located just across from the main station & the main street leading to the park. Clean and pretty spacious public baths. I preferred to stay inside as we hear trains pass in the outside onsen. Guests are required to leave shoes upon entering the lobby (shoe lockers provided) which we loved, felt like a true Japanese hospitality experience. Complimentary soba noodles in the evening. Small but very comfortable rooms.

    This is a very excellent Hotel, with the most convenient location of any hotel that I have experienced in Japan, just one short block from the Jr Nara train station. From the train station, buses can take you anywhere that you would want to go in the Nara area, and to me, the Nora area is the best and most important sightseeing in Japan. The breakfast is excellent, as are the rooms. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
