When it comes to Nara, the scenery I saw in textbooks, such as the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple, the five-storied pagoda of Kofukuji Temple, and the red pillars and white walls of Kasuga Taisha Shrine, still remain. Nara is famous as a destination for school excursions, but it is a land that becomes even more fun when you go around it as an adult. As a place with a long history, the food is also unique, making it a popular spot for gourmet girls who love delicious food.
Speaking of Nara's local gourmet, it is "cha-gayu". Nara's chagayu is rice cooked with hojicha (roasted green tea), and has been eaten as a temple meal for about 1,200 years. Narazuke is added to chagayu. Narazuke, which uses sake lees, whets the appetite with its sweetness, mellowness, and mellow aroma. In addition, there is no shortage of Nara specialties such as "Kakinoha Sushi" and "Asuka Nabe" using milk.
It is important to choose a hotel with a delicious breakfast when you travel to Nara, where there are plenty of delicious foods. You can enjoy Nara gourmet at breakfast and compare it with Nara gourmet from other restaurants during the day and night. Here are 10 hotels and ryokan in Nara that are highly recommended for breakfast. If you choose the places that you want to visit, you can enjoy sightseeing and breakfast to the fullest.
The hotel is about 5 minutes by taxi from Kintetsu Nara Station. An elegant classic hotel called "Kansai Guest House", built on the bank of "Araike" in the grounds of Nara Park. Designed by Kingo Tatsuno, a master of modern architecture, this dignified hotel makes you feel the long history of Nara. Recommended for girls who want to enjoy a splendid trip to Nara, where Japanese and Western styles are in perfect harmony.

For breakfast here, you can enjoy a Japanese and Western buffet.
