This is 100% the best place to stay at of you want to have the most authentic Nara Deer experience. When my partner and I were arriving late to check in the clerk stayed an extra 30 min waiting for us. She is a hero!🙏 The place is 30 min from the downtown area so do order or buy food for dinner as you wont find anything nearby, but its 100% worth it because of the location and the staff! Thank you so much for having us and being great hosts!

Super friendly staff, in a magical place in the deer park surrounded by nature, some great little shops, shrines, and animals. Nara was the absolute highlight of my trip to Japan and this Inn was a dream to stay at. We loved our time here.

Quiet little Inn at the top of the town. Easy to access the Mt Wakakusa walk and about a 30 minute walk into the towns centre! We loved seeing the deer right outside our window.

What an Oasis!

What a delightful spot to get away from big city vibes and get close to nature in Nara Park! Incredible staff that even let me check in early as my room was ready. Everything you need at an affordable price with a great atmosphere.

This lodging was perfect for visiting the park. Facility was clean, quiet, our room was spacious, & the staff very friendly. They let us know about evening lantern event, and breakfast available for purchase at 9am in a cafe near by. Location in the park is convienent for some travelers without transportation visiting the park. It was a short hike from the bus stop at the museum. Could use a sign at the bottom of hill on bus route for lodging location. Of the park workers we asked, no one seemed to know where "The Deer Park Inn" was located. We followed the walking route on google maps to find it from the museum. As a hostel our room had western style bunk beds, which were nice. Property is not wheelchair accessible. They do provide this information on thier website, but take note it is located on a hill & there are many stairs.

Staff were so sweet and helpful here. It is so convenient since everything in the park closes early as well as transportation, so if you are staying to see the deer it is a perfect place to do so.

Other than the area around the inn having very few restaurants that all close around 4-5 pm (which is to be expected because it's in the park) which led us to walk a good while to get groceries, we had a very nice stay and even found that to accommodate for the lack of stores nearby, there are some instant ramens and other food to purchase in the common area for dinner past five pm. Thank you for hosting us!

Great location deep inside of Nara Park.

First off: the listing says laundry facilities are available, but they are not (yet). This is important because the nearest laundromat is 30 minutes away. Otherwise, it's a wonderful place to stay overnight in Nara. We spent 3 nights enjoying the park. Deer right outside every morning. 2 great restaurants right down the stairs, but everything nearby closes around 16:00. Drink machines abound, but plan to stock up at the 7-11 at the park entrance (15 minutes) to cook dinner or have snacks at the Inn. They offer a small selection of instant ramen and such you can purchase for 200 yen in the kitchen if you forget and are hungry. Very kind staff. Just keep in mind you won't have access to laundry or convenient store hours.
