In 1909 (Meiji 42), Nara Hotel opened as the "Kansai Guesthouse" within Nara Park. This hotel, with a history of over 100 years, has hosted countless renowned individuals from both Japan and abroad since its establishment.

The main building is constructed in the "Momoyama Goten" style using cypress wood, designed by the famous Japanese architect Kingo Tatsuno. The lobby is adorned with intricately carved fireplace mantels and carpets featuring luxurious patterns, allowing visitors to feel the historical charm and cultural depth of this long-established hotel.
