🏨 ANDO HOTEL Nara Wakakusayama ANDO HOTEL 奈良若草山

Located on the hillside of Wakakusa Mountain, the Japanese-style resort hotel has been renovated and grandly opened in July 2020, after more than half a century of operation. Its philosophy is to create a sense of "security" and "connection with the local area" through "harmony with nature." The hotel name "ANDO" not only means "peace of mind" but also encompasses the idea of "creating connections between the region and people, and among people themselves." The hotel's highlight is the view of the ancient capital of Nara from the mountainside. The newly established outdoor bath on the top floor, the top-floor suites, the lobby, and some guest rooms all offer stunning views of the Great Buddha Hall of Todai-ji and the Five-story Pagoda of Kofuku-ji, as well as the city of Nara. The cuisine offered by the Japanese-style resort hotel is also very appealing. It insists on using local ingredients such as Yamato vegetables and Nara meats, with a variety of dishes that blend Japanese and French culinary techniques, providing a feast for the senses. In addition to the scenery and cuisine of Nara, the hotel showcases Nara's history and culture through its facilities, original products, and a variety of rich experiential programs. Guests will surely feel a connection to Nara upon check-out.
