More about Hotel New Wakasa

More about Hotel New Wakasa

Just 5 minutes' walk from Nara Park and the Daibutsu-den, this ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) offers rooms with private open-air baths. A communal bath was installed in February of 2011. The inn serves traditional kaiseki cuisine with Nara specialties.

At the Wakasa Annex, smoking is prohibited in guestrooms, but guests may smoke on the veranda and in the garden space.
Japanese/Western-style rooms with twin beds feature wooden architecture with a warm atmosphere, a twin room with semi-double beds, and a 6-tatami mat Japanese-style room with Okinawan tatami. Enjoy the sight of Mt. Wakakusa and Todai-ji Temple’s Great Buddha Hall while relaxing in the outdoor bath.
*The outdoor bath is not equipped with a washing area or shower. These are available in the guestroom indoor bath.
*When used among 3 or more guests, there will be beds for 2 guests and futons will be prepared in the Japanese-style room.
‘Zen’ type rooms allow for beds, feature flooring with 10 mats of Okinawan tatami, and are simplistic while also giving off a sense of high quality. They are equipped with storage beds, allowing guests to enjoy a free layout. Soak in the bath and relax while gazing out at Mt. Wakakusa and Todai-ji Temple’s Great Buddha Hall.
*The outdoor bath is not equipped with a washing area or shower. These are available in the guestroom indoor bath.
*Use of storage beds is limited to 2 guests. For reservations for groups of 3 or more guests, the lodging will prepare futons.

      “Excellent”

      We have been in April and it was great! I really liked the Hotel. In Japan it is still a custom to smoke in the rooms, so I did not like that too much, but it was OK. The food was excellent, the Onsen was rather average.

      Staff not really speaking English. Excepted for dinner rest of the price is not justified compared with the service quality & facilities. Only Japanese food served for dinner and breakfast.

      “良い宿です”

      気持ちよく利用させて頂きました、とても良い宿でした。 まず、スタッフさんの気遣いが良い。ウエルカムのドリンクも手抜きがなく、来館記念の家族写真をプレゼントして頂いた。宿は全体的に綺麗でお洒落。食事は味、質、量ともに十分。お風呂もとても良かった(4評価は湯温が低いのと広さ)。奈良観光の拠点としてお勧めです。もう一部屋グレードの低い部屋を予約していたのですが、行動しやすいようにとご厚意で並びの部屋(本来より広い)に変更して頂いていました。とても助かりました。
