Enjoy the ancient city of Nara at an Onsen Hotel next to the Heijō Palace Site.
"Kamenoi Hotel Nara" is a tranquil Onsen Hotel located adjacent to the "Heijo Palace Site," one of the components of the UNESCO World Heritage "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara." The Room options include a variety of types such as serene Japanese-style rooms, Western-style rooms, and special Japanese-Western style rooms with private baths offering panoramic views. The large communal bath features an indoor bath with a soothing interior made of charred cedar wood, inspired by the ancient capital, and an open-air bath where you can relax and enjoy natural Onsen. Access to the Hotel is convenient, with approximately a 15-minute walk from Kintetsu "Yamato-Saidaiji" Station or about a 15-minute taxi ride from JR Nara Line "Nara" Station, allowing for multiple station options. When visiting Nara to immerse yourself in its history and culture, we warmly invite you to stay at our Hotel.
Just before check-out, my grandfather who was traveling with us became unwell, and the gentleman at the front desk was incredibly kind and helpful. At dinner, they even specially chopped the food into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat, and I truly appreciated the thoughtful care from a middle-aged female staff member. All of the staff were very kind. The hospitality was outstanding!

Introduction of the Accommodation
The natural Onsen 'Heijōkyū Onsen' features a chloride spring known for its warming properties, with an indoor bath adorned with charred cedar wood reflecting the image of ancient Nara and a spacious open-air bath. At night, enjoy stargazing, and in the morning, relish the fresh air while fully indulging in the natural Onsen.
We offer carefully crafted dishes made with seasonal ingredients and local produce from Nara, prepared with great care by our chefs. Not only the ingredients but also the chopsticks made of Yoshino cedar, tableware, and decorative paper are thoughtfully selected to enhance your dining experience for all five senses. Additionally, we provide an extensive drink menu that pairs perfectly with our Japanese kaiseki cuisine, including a selection of local sake from Nara.
The world heritage site "Heijo Palace Ruins," adjacent to the Hotel, is the former palace site of Heijo-kyo, which was relocated from Fujiwara-kyo. Some structures, such as the Daigokuden Hall and Suzaku Gate, have been restored, offering plenty of attractions to explore. At night, you can enjoy the beautifully illuminated night scenery. Additionally, there are numerous world heritage sites scattered around the area. It takes about 15 minutes by car to reach "Todai-ji," known for the "Great Buddha of Nara." About 20 minutes by car will take you to "Kasuga Taisha," established to protect Heijo-kyo and famous for its shrine buildings being rebuilt every 20 years. "Kofuku-ji," which flourished as the family temple of Fujiwara no Kamatari and was relocated to this area with the capital transfer, is about 15 minutes by car. Lastly, "Yakushi-ji," constructed under the wish of Emperor Tenmu and representing the layout of Buddhist temple complexes of the time, is about 10 minutes by car.
