Grand Mercure Nara Kashihara

In Kashihara, steps from Kashiharajingumae Station and a short ride from the city center. Minutes from Ishibutai Kofun, Kumedera Temple and nearby hot-spring spots like Dorogawa and Shinyoshino Onsen — a tidy base for exploring Asuka and Nara-era sites and nearby Osaka sights such as Abeno Harukas and Shitennoji.

Traditional style meets modern comfort with an onsen and a resort-like atmosphere. The hotel has 204 air-conditioned rooms with refrigerators, deep soaking bathtubs, shower/tub combos, satellite TV, slippers, safes and desks for a relaxed stay.

All-inclusive packages are available alongside hot springs and an on‑site onsen experience. Find a massage room, sauna, gift shop/newsstand, chapel, laundry and dry cleaning, plus free self-parking and accessible facilities — wake up to peaceful temple-town mornings and step out refreshed.

Conference center and meeting rooms on site, a 24-hour front desk and complimentary wireless internet keep work on track.

Four restaurants, a coffee shop/café and a bar/lounge serve everything from quick coffee fixes to full meals. Expect convenient on-site dining options that make exploring the region easy and tasty.
