Visit Nara

If you arrive after sunset on a clear night, in addition to the crisp mountain air, you will notice a canopy of stars above the appropriately named, Hotel Subaru. A pleasant surprise to expect is your name in beautiful penmanship welcoming you to rest and replenish in one of Totsukawa’s most established accommodations. Expect warm hospitality, delicious food, and spacious sitting areas to lounge on beautiful, artisanal furniture made from local cedar. Due to its remote locale, the staff are not fluent in English but they are accustomed to non-Japanese travelers. After dinner your tatami room will be prepared with a comfortable futon and bedding. Very clean and cozy. The hotel’s hot springs include a variety of indoor and outdoor baths, a sauna, and a chance to enjoy deep nature in the peaks of southern Nara.
