JW MARRIOTT NARA / NARA TOUR
The JW MARRIOTT HOTEL NARA, which we visited this time, is located in Nara Prefecture in central Japan. Nara is a 40-minute train ride from major cities Kyoto and Osaka. JW MARRIOTT is a 10-minute shuttle bus ride from Kintetsu Nara Station. I took the very famous train “AONYOSHI” from Kintetsu Kyoto Station to Nara.
The interior of the train is beautiful and luxurious. Please note that reservations are required. As soon as we left Kyoto station, we saw the pagoda of Toji Temple on my right. It took about 35 minutes to Nara.
As we approached Nara Station, we saw the Suzakumon Gate, the gate of the old capital, on the right. The two towers are the highlights of Yakushiji Temple. The East Pagoda, a national treasure, was built in 730 AC, and the original remains. Toshodaiji Temple was built about 1250 years ago by Ganjin,
Who overcame hardships to come to Japan from China to introduce Buddhist to Japan. Todaiji Temple is the most famous temple in Nara. It is famous for the Daibutsu (Great Buddha), but there are various halls in the spacious precincts of the temple. I stayed at the JW MARRIOTT Hotel NARA.

There were arts in the room and it was stylish. I loved the artwork featuring antlers. I took a walk around the hotel in the evening. There was a stylish Starbucks, which was relaxing. I came to the bar on the first floor because they offered free cocktails to gold elite members.
