In honor to this history from the Nara period, we have designed a Japanese-style sauna in our facility, featuring a short sliding door reminiscent of that time. In addition, we want families or groups of friends to feel the history of Nara, so we provide a spacious living room and beds and a private semi-open-air bath, and necessary facilities and beverages, especially “Harushika” the local sake, are all included in the price. We hope that our guests will rejuvenate in sauna with a luxurious and traditional atmosphere while savoring the charm of this location.
Nara: Gateway to Kansai
Nara offers excellent access to Osaka and Kyoto, making it an ideal base for exploring the Kansai region. While enjoying the calm atmosphere of Naramachi, guests can easily reach major attractions such as Nara Park, Todai-ji Temple, and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. For this reason, we highly recommend a longer stay to fully enjoy the city’s history, culture, and nature.
