The Deer Park Inn

Nestled directly inside the historic Nara Park, The Deer Park Inn is a charming, budget-friendly lodge where wild sika deer literally roam right outside your window. It is the perfect base for travelers wanting early-morning access to Todai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine before the tour buses arrive. Expect a cozy, hostel-style atmosphere with friendly English-speaking staff, shared facilities, and a tranquil forest setting.
