9/10 Wonderful! (1,029 reviews)

The hotel room was a good size. Family of four and we each had our own bed. Had to use the couch to put our luggage on. Bathroom was fine. Hotel is easy walk to the universal studios and all the shops and restaurants. Very short walk to the nearest subway station for easy access to anywhere you want to go.

Isui-en Garden

Explore the great outdoors at Isui-en Garden, a lovely green space in Nara. While in this walkable area, find time to visit its temples.

Nara's near proximity to the cities of Kyoto and Osaka makes it an easy side trip in anyone's Kansai itinerary. And although most people come to Nara for the roaming (but tame) deers and the historical temples, Nara park offers a lot of hidden gems that I would recommend devoting a whole day to enjoy a trip to Japan's first permanent capital.

Take for example, Yoshikien Garden: it is a mere walking distance away from Todaiji temple and yet it is almost always missed by tourists. Foreign travelers can avail of the free entrance just by showing their passports. The moss garden
