My stay at The Kashihara was good, blending modern amenities with really good service. I loved the spacious suite featuring a relaxing full-size bathtub and convenient plugs by the bed. Though the nearby parking was full, the staff quickly sorted it out for me. Overall, I experienced a perfect balance of comfort and local charm, making me eager to return.

I stayed in a lovely suite that had great amenities like plug sockets on both sides of the bed and a full-size bathtub. However, I found the two single beds to be less comfortable than I would prefer (a double would have been nicer).

The hotel is perfectly situated right next to the train station, making it very easy to explore nearby Nara, Kyoto, and Osaka. It’s also in a quiet area but still close to various shops and local Izakayas, which added to my experience.

I opted for the all-inclusive rate, which was totally worth it. The dinner buffet was really good with an open bar, and I particularly enjoyed the breakfast options (the fresh, home-grown products were a highlight).

The hot spring was a nice addition, though I did wish there was an outdoor bath. Still, the on-site dining options were satisfying, and the hotel maintains a high standard overall.
