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.

    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.

    Pay extra to stay in a room with outdoor bathtub for a night. However, the water will only be heated 0600-0000 which is a shame as there is no information provided before booking. I wouldn't pay extra for that if I known it beforehand. The onsen is tiny wh

    已经是第二次光顾了,每一次都给我留下美好的回忆。酒店距离近铁奈良站步行15分钟,我住的是和式房,榻榻米非常舒适,使我一觉到天亮。晚餐怀石料理非常丰盛美味,根据不同的季节调整菜单,早餐也是日式的,品种繁多;这次泡旅馆温泉居然被我包场了,全场就我和家人,又安静又舒适。酒店员工服务态度没话说,晚餐后还为我们照了全家福。 酒店离奈良的著名景点都很近,出酒店散步15分钟左右即可到达东大寺,从东大寺开始按顺时针方向步行可参观奈良公园、春日大社、冰室神社、兴福寺等著名景点。

    极好的入住体验,首先是非常夸张的欢迎服务,前后3个服务员微笑着为你端茶拿毛巾拿行李前台都自己出来跪着帮你办理入住,即使在14天行程里的4000档次的5星酒店也没受到过这种级别的尊重和服务。 里面有一位很会张罗的的小伙,进到房间很是热情的介绍当地怎么玩,明天什么天气,又帮倒茶什么的,晚上吃饭也看见了他,主动过来帮服务,还会推荐好清酒,弄得我们一家感觉很温馨浪漫,真心是好酒店,可能我们运气好,但难以忘怀,全力推荐。
