Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 822 reviews
A 3-star resort-style hotel located on the outskirts of Nara in Tenri. Connected directly to Nara Kenko Land, it's a family vacation spot with onsen and play facilities. Guests frequently mention that 'the onsen is diverse and comfortable'.
Reviews across sites repeatedly praise the variety of onsens, saunas, and outdoor baths. Breakfast buffet is noted for its abundant and fresh menu. Rooms are consistently described as clean and spacious. Family travelers rave about kids' zones and pools where children had a blast.
However, it's far from Nara Park, taking 45-60 minutes by shuttle, which is a common complaint. Pools are only open on weekends or in summer. Some mention rooms being hot or AC weak.
Best for those with a car or seeking onsen and family fun.
