A perfect start to our Japan itinerary
Pros:

This is such a wonderful little sanctuary on the hill with such amazing food and views. It was the perfect first stop on our Japan itinerary, giving us time to adjust and also explore the old town of Nara which was not too busy nor overwhelming, just perfect. Great to have a swimming pool in Summer but the private onsens are also there for the cooler months. The food and modern yet Japanese decor were exceptional. Would highly recommend.

Pros:

整體來說幾乎無懈可擊，晚上有安排接駁車上山看夜景，晚餐方面就算連泊也不會吃相同的料理，房間寬敞舒適服務人員彬彬有禮，雖然我在盛夏的時候到奈良是熱了點，但秋天肯定美不勝收。

Cons:

不會說日語的話體驗難免會稍微會打折(英文沒問題)，但本來學語言就是旅人自己的事
