Enjoying Kasuga Shrine and Deer from the Nara Inn

The Deer Park Inn is a hotel located in a great location where you can fully experience the charm of Nara. It is adjacent to the Kasuga Shrine and the Todai-ji Temple, and you can enjoy walking in the morning and evening.

Luxurious experience of interacting with deer

The most popular thing for guests is being able to see deer up close from outside the window. By providing deer crackers, you may be able to feed them directly from your room. In the early morning, you can enjoy the quiet sight of the deer in the Kasuga Shrine precincts.

Location adorned with Nara's history

Just a short walk from the hotel, you can visit the Kasuga Shrine, Wakamiya Shrine, and the Todai-ji Temple. If you visit in the early morning, you can enjoy the serene atmosphere with few people. In the evening, the view of the Nigatsu-do Hall enveloped in elegant light will spread out before you.

Relaxing in comfortable accommodation

The rooms are clean, and the facilities in the hotel are also well-equipped. There are large bathtubs, kitchens, and washing machines, providing a spacious stay. The attentive service of the staff is also highly praised. Although there are some slopes for access, it is easy to use a taxi.

If you want to immerse yourself in Nara's culture and nature, this accommodation is recommended. We recommend making an early reservation. And don't forget the deer crackers. Beautiful memories are surely waiting for you.

We were 3 people located in the 6-bed-room. First of all, the location is fantastic, it is in the very middle of Nara park, with short walking distances to all the famous places. There even is a parking option, however there is a fee. I think for 6 adults, the room would be really tight, the beds are rather old and the top beds squeaky. For 3 people it was ok. Sound insulation to either side is not given, but if you take into account the price and the honorable goal to remain budget-friendly, I would say it's ok, as long as you're not a light sleeper who likes to sleep in. The important thing was, the lavatories, showers and sinks were all clean, so was the kitchen. We had some issues during our stay that were resolved professionally and with great respect in the end. The front office agent who I think is also the manager, was INCREDIBLY kind, helpful and you can see that he puts his soul into this job. I think the whole place could need a little brush up here and there and some minor repairs, then it could live up to its full potential.

Absolutely loved staying in this inn! The room was simple and comfortable, the common area won our hearts with small stylish details which liven up the industrial feel of the building. The location is absolutely fantastic in the middle of the deer park near a shrine. Make sure you take some deer crackers for your walk! :)

This place is magic. Unbelievable. If you're ever in Japan you will not regret coming here. Its like Spirited Away but but with friendly deers instead of monsters. Utterly beautiful. Trust me, you will need more than a couple of days to see this place. Its a bit touristy but mainly between 9 to 5. Thats when the shops are open and the busses run. The architecture of this place is ....odd but amazing. Fantastic staff. Clean and comfortable. Kitchen has everything. Wifi good, aircon good, beds comfy. Just bring a cup noodle or some snacks incase you get the munchies after everything closes.

Such a lovely location if you'd rather stay in nara park than nara town. Bear in mind that all of the shops and restaurants in nara park close around 5pm, but it is only about a 20 minute walk into town, where things are open till later. The rooms are basic but for the price it is amazing. Kitchen facilities available to use and shared bathrooms are good. Would recommend!
