Only thing nearby (still 14 min away) worthwhile for a tourist is Kashihara Jingu shrine. The hotel itself is beautiful. Kashihara seems like a great place to live though!

This place is a perfect place to stay in the area. Right next to the train station, the staff is extremely nice, the hotel is nice and has everything you need. There is even an Onsen downstairs. Daiso is 5 minutes away. My daughter cut her hair about 2 minutes away. Coco Restaurant is 5 minutes away. ( We had 3 meals here. LOL)

Best breakfast in Japan
My son said it was the best hotel breakfast he has had in Japan. He even got up early for it. Of course they had him at hamburgers, but there was also eggs Benedict and Japanese specialties like dumplings with shrimp and wheat noodles. And some unusual items like caprese salad. The Western beds were the right height and very comfortable. The room was spotless. Parking is under the hotel and easy to find.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is within a short walk if the train station, and easy to find. The staff were friendly and helpful with some speaking English. Given the overall appearance of the hotel, I was surprised that my room seemed older than the rest of the facilities I saw, but it was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was more expensive than I wanted to venture, so I don't have any experience with its quality.

Charming little hotel!
The decor was a bit dated, but that just added to the charm of the hotel. The staff was very friendly! Overall the stay was quite pleasant and enjoyable. Very close to the station and convenient to the local attractions. Recommended!

Old and faded with a couple nice amenities
My first impression was disappointment in the room. The carpet was very worn and stained, the furnishings worn and dated. Hardly “Royal”. However, there is a nice onsen onnpremisesand a large and delicious breakfast buffet. Two minutes o then Kintetsu station and one minute to Tourist Information.
