Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi

What guests think

Across reviews, Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi stands out for its central setting by Sarusawa Pond and Nara Park, spacious and stylish rooms with character, and consistently friendly, helpful staff creating an easy base for sightseeing and short stays.

Guests appreciate the public bath, terrace, and a free-drinks lounge with microwave, though there is no on-site restaurant and no hotel parking (discounted nearby lots exist). Breakfast is delivered to rooms as a bento and is often enjoyed, but one review noted it required prebooking. Expect occasional downsides such as thin walls, early temple bells, shoji screens that let in morning light, and small or quirky in-room sinks and showers. In short, a comfortable base with thoughtful touches and a lean amenity set.

観光地の徒歩移動が楽でした。商店街がすぐ隣にあって、何でも食べたり飲んだり楽しんだりするのに便利でした。風呂場も地下に備わっていて、動線が短くて通いやすかったです。保有駐車場はありませんが、周辺に割引があるところがあって不便ではありませんでした。猿沢池を朝晩、いつでものんびりと眺めることができていいです。夜散歩をしていても鹿に出会います。（ご飯の時ではないので挨拶しながらせんべいを要求したりはしないですね）次に国に行くならまた立ち寄りたい意向が120%です。

We loved the 2nd floor lounge that guests had access to, even though our room was a generous size. It was equipped with toasters, microwave, filtered water, soft drinks, and hot drinks. Our breakfast was delivered to our room each day in little bento boxes - we chose to eat in the aforementioned lounge. The hotel has a wonderful modern Japanese vibe, the rooms were very stylish. The on-site Onsen was very nice after a long day sightseeing. The hotel is very conveniently located for very easy access to Nara Park adjacent to Sarusawa Pond. There is even a Starbucks on site for those need it (even though there’s free coffee upstairs).

나라에서 숙박을 하신다면 정말 정말 강추합니다. 학회 참석으로 3박4일을 나라에서 머물렀습니다. 호텔의 컨디션, 리셉션에서의 직원 응대 수준, 시설, 위치 모두 대만족입니다. 테라스에서 맞이하는 아침은 유후인 느낌이 물씬 풍깁니다. 또한 지하1층에 있는 온천에서 하루의 피로를 풀 수 있습니다. 그리고 한국인 직원분이 한 분 계시는데, 정말 친절하시고 호텔 체크인부터 체크아웃까지 세심하게 신경써 주셨습니다. 체크아웃 할 때 전달받은 편지는 정말 감동 그 자체였습니다. 호텔에 식당은 없지만, 1층이 스타벅스여서 전혀 문제 없습니다. 그리고 호텔에서 100미터 안에 모스버거, 맥도날드 모두 있습니다. 그리고 킨테츠 나라역에서 정말 가깝습니다. 교통도 최고입니다. 나라에서 혹시 투숙하신다면, 강추합니다.

We really enjoyed our stay in a Western-style Japanese room. It was more spacious than many in Japan, with comfortable mattresses on a raised platform. There is a public bath in the hotel which was a nice way to relax in the afternoon. The hotel is right next to the entrance to Nara Deer Park and a five or six minute walk from Nara Kintetsu railway station. The area is relatively quiet at night but there are plenty of good dining options and it's convenient for shopping etc.

Sugoi!! Having travelled to Japan six times now, and stayed in practically every type of accommodation from family ryokans, hostels, business hotels and big “western” style hotels…this by far has been the best. Why? The amazingly friendly and helpful staff. The room design has a nice traditional twist for a modern hotel. Would recommend a lake view room too (great for people watching and having a little deck in a hotel in Japan is unheard of). Highly recommend.

A convenient spot to explore Nara. A quirky little hotel - immaculately clean. Rooms by far the largest I’ve had in Japan. But a little quirky - sink in bedroom not by bathroom, towels in bedroom not bathroom. Shower on a push system that stops every minute - but a great shower! All these little things are environmentally friendly but quirky. An excellent location to explore Nara and the park, plus so close to shops and restaurants. The staff were also lovely and helpful.

The only negative was the desk staff said we could not have breakfast at the hotel because we hadn't pre-paid breakfast upon check-in. We were perfectly willing to pay separately for breakfast. This approach seemed silly and inconvenient. Otherwise staff was nice and helpful.
