"The hotel is in a great location and very modern. The buffet breakfast has way more options than one needs. The flavor was a bit lacking in most of the food. I will say their plant based broth was the best I ever had. I also recommend eating at せっちゃん a nine seat chef experience. Less expensive than most of the restaurants in the area."

"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!"

When is the best time to go to Yoshino?
The best time to visit Yoshino is during the spring cherry blossom season, typically from late March to late April, or in the autumn for vibrant foliage, usually from late October to late November.Spring is when Yoshino truly comes alive, as its hillsides are famed for being covered in thousands of cherry trees. The Yoshino-yama area, particularly around the Shimo Senbon (lower 1,000 trees) and Naka Senbon (middle 1,000 trees) zones, offers breathtaking views of pink and white blossoms. This period is great for couples and nature lovers who appreciate stunning natural beauty and photography.For those who prefer a quieter experience and cooler temperatures, autumn offers spectacular displays of red, orange, and gold leaves. The same hillsides that burst with cherry blossoms in spring are transformed by the rich colours of the changing foliage.
