Sakurai, Nara Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"The hotel has so many amenities that were such a delight! The onsen, massage chairs, free snacks. The free noodles after 9:30pm were surprisingly very good and their matcha tea from the machines were so good! Loved how they provided robes for you to walk around the hotel and go to the onsen. The onsen was such a great experience too! "

"brand new hotel with spotless rooms and great atmosphere. Oh, and great price!"

"Staff "

"This was the single best stay I had in Japan. I cannot even put into words how amazing. It was a tradition Japanese place, public baths that were spotless and cozy, got kimonos for our stay and inside house slippers, the meals were unique and intricate. I will be coming back, thank you so much. Also the view is breathtaking. "

"The apartment was clean, spacious, comfortable and modern. The location was close the many restaurants, train station and convenient stores. Check-in/out was easy as well, and having to store my luggage there for a half day after I checked out was very helpful due to my flight time. Overall, I would recommend."

"Clean room. Free locker room."
