Novotel Nara

10/10 Excellent
"2 year old hotel conveniently located close to the city hall. Modern and comfortable, quiet as well. The breakfast was consistently crowded but that is due to Silver Week. Really helpful staff. The price of the breakfast was not included for our child and we found it somewhat over-inflated at 23,000 yen per day as a half-price. Would recommend."

"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."

HARUYA Naramachi - Hostel

10/10 Excellent
"This was my favourite place we stayed on our trip so far. It was so quiet and peaceful both in the hostel and the neighbourhood. It’s about a 20 minute walk to get to Nara Park and you’re likely to run into some deer on your way there as they tend to come right into town in addition to hanging in the park. There are laundry facilities and a smoking area in the back garden. Rice porridge is served each morning and there are free and paid beverages available. There was no staff on site due to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, but the autonomous luggage storage and check-in instructions were easy to follow. I will definitely be returning in the future!"

What is the best area to stay in Takao?
For visitors to Takao, the best place to stay is within the Takao village itself, particularly near the three primary temples: Jingoji, Saimyoji, and Kozanji.This small, tranquil village is located in the mountains northwest of Kyoto, offering a peaceful retreat.

The traditional ryokan (Japanese inns) often feature private baths and exquisite kaiseki (multi-course) dinners, superb for a relaxing getaway.
When is the best time to go to Takao?
The best time to visit Takao is during the autumn, particularly from mid-November to early December, when the maple leaves turn vibrant shades of red and gold.This period offers the most spectacular natural beauty, with the mountain slopes and temple grounds ablaze with colour. The clear, crisp weather also makes for pleasant hiking along the trails that connect the three main temples: Jingoji, Saimyoji, and Kozanji.
