This might be the best hotel in Nara!

Nara Murasakishikibu Hotel Guide Staying at the Murasakishikibu Hotel is a special experience. The hotel itself is a converted old building, retaining a strong traditional Japanese style, but the guest rooms are new buildings, with a more modern design, combining comfort and Japanese style, retaining a sense of history and meeting the needs of modern people. Transportation🚌 The location of the Murasakishikibu Hotel is relatively quiet, and it is very convenient to go from Nara City. You can take a bus from JR Nara Station or Kintetsu Nara Station, and it takes about 20 minutes to reach the hotel. After arrival, the hotel will provide a shuttle service, which is very suitable for passengers with luggage. History and Design🏯 The public area of the hotel is the most attractive part. It is located in a century-old Japanese old house. The details still retain the architectural style of the old wooden structure. The design of the lobby and public areas is simple and elegant. The combination of wooden materials and paper doors exudes a light and elegant Japanese atmosphere, as if returning to the ancient Nara era in a second. During the stay, there is a happy hour every day, and the hotel provides free champagne🍾, which can be enjoyed in this old house. The atmosphere of the old house is quiet and elegant. Sitting in the courtyard of the old house and tasting champagne, you can really feel the passage of time and the heaviness of history. Guest Room Part🛏 The guest rooms are located in the new building area, with a simple and modern design and complete facilities. Although the new building is in sharp contrast with the old house in appearance, the Japanese decoration inside still gives a comfortable and relaxed feeling. The room I stayed in was equipped with a private hot spring♨️, and I could completely relax in my own small yard. However, the room is on the first floor, and the lighting is slightly worse. It may feel a bit dim during the day. Surrounding Facilities🌿 There are rich natural landscapes around the hotel. You can take a walk nearby in the morning or evening to feel the tranquility and natural beauty of Nara. I especially recommend everyone to take the time to walk in the hotel's courtyard. The wooden walkway and the greenery in the courtyard are pleasant to the body and mind. Overall Evaluation🌸 The Murasakishikibu Hotel is suitable for travelers who like the atmosphere of Japanese old houses and pursue tranquility and privacy. It perfectly combines the sense of history and modern comfort. If you want to experience the blend of tradition and modernity in Nara, this will be a very ideal choice. If you like luxury experience, then you must not miss the hotel's champagne happy hour.💖
