Top Iwafune Shrine Hotel Reviews

Novotel Nara

8/10 Good

"Clean and good location for family on vacation"

Piazza Hotel Nara

8/10 Good

"Located basically attached to the main Nara train station, and walkable to the main area with lots of food and shopping options. You can walk to Nara Park from here but it’s a bit far if you aren’t up for a good walk. Staff was ok based on limited interactions, this hotel was good for a place to crash after being out and about, and nice and close to the train station."

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"Was a nice place to stay. Free midnight Ramen was a cool addition too!"

APA Hotel Osaka Kadomashi Ekimae

8/10 Good

"Not the nicest APA I have stayed at on this trip, but the location was close to the train station and at less than ¥10000 a night, I was very happy with the overall accommodation. The staff was helpful, and the room was very clean. I would stay there again!"

Nara Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel with a generous breakfast option. It is pretty walkable to the closest station and only one more stop to Nara Park. I thought that staff was great."

Hotel Nikko Nara

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, the hotel was elegant. We could not believe how quiet it was given that it's connected to the train station and right at the foot of the street that leads to the park. Great rooms and great location. We would definitely stay there again."

Centurion Hotel Classic Nara

8/10 Good

"We stayed for 1 night. The hotel was comfortable, & the staff were so kind & friendly. Direct bus route to Nara Park. Excellent breakfast! Like an amazing good!"

Hotel Eins Osaka Kadoma City Station

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first stop in Japan and we had an amazing experience. The staff were very friendly. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. The second floor was a great way to destress. We loved this hotel."

JW Marriott Hotel Nara

10/10 Excellent

"The staff members were wonderful: Lester and Jonathan/Check - in very quick & Silk Road Dining staff breakfast with on point! The only thing could be better was the one hour swimming time & having to make a reservation for it. That was strange and awkward. My phone was a problem and I was sure if it went through!"
