The KAKU is a modern interpretation of the ancient beauty of Japan, with a tea ceremony room and an open-air bath created using Japanese techniques. THE KAKU, which includes KAKU Kin with an open-air bath and a separate Gin, is one of the most spacious suites in Nara with over 200 square meters overlooking the Kofukuji Temple in Nara Park. The suite consists of separate living room and two bedrooms, a dining room with a full kitchen, a tea ceremony room, and a natural wood dining table. A separate fitness room and a room that can accommodate your dog or cat are also available for your enjoyment.
・About 3 minutes walk from Nara Park and Kofukuji Temple ・Kintetsu Nara Station about 8 minutes walk ・JR Nara station about 14 minutes walk ・About 3 minutes walk from Kofukuji Temple THE KAKU is conveniently located in a shopping district in the center of Nara.
