Some stairs to climb but gyukatsu experience of grilling your meat on a hot stone is worth it. Served with variety of condiments including grated yam and multigrain rice.
Quite a fun and short twirl around the half pipe, both kids and adults will enjoy it!
Great fun in this mixed reality ride! Clip on the heads up display onto your hat and get ready to smash the high scores of the day.
It’s a cute and fun ride for the kids, though you will get wet when it is raining.
Shiho-chan runs this entire place by herself. Amazing okonomiyaki that is huge and tastes delish. Be prepared to queue because it is a one-person operation. She is a great human being.
Interesting bread selection and good for a quick bite during your journey.
A nice walk around the garden and take photos of the temple for ¥500. Cash only.
You need to remove your shoes for an upstairs seat. Chasoba was really good and they have an English menu.
In summer they have special matcha jelly and year round there is ice cream. Be prepared for a very long wait for a seat at the cafe.
Fluffy and soft mochi, the best. Buy one at ¥180 and stand on the opposite sidewalk or elsewhere to savour it. The sidewalk in front of the shop is narrow and gets crowded. Let’s be considerate. :)
Less crowded and well worth the short hike up the hill and the stairs for a great view of Nara.
A small shop run by one chef, who serves up a good piping hot plate of beef curry or Demi-glacé with great politeness. The pickles go great with the rice too!
Free alcohol from 3pm to 9:30pm daily and free ramen from 8:30pm to 9:30pm. Comfortable rooms, great amenities to loan to keep your children entertained as well!
Authentic Japanese fast food experience. Order on the vending machine, collect food and slurp up noodles, return tray and leave. Fuss free.
Better than the London one in my opinion. Half a day will be spent here immersed in all things Harry Potter.
The station is dressed to look like Hogsmeade and Harry Potter themes play on the speakers. Have fun taking photos with the props!
Slightly strange that you feel the pullback from jumping to hyperspace, but it’s all part of the ride experience with C3PO!
Aim at the centre black dot to activate the Zurg targets, that’s when you know you got the target!
The ride car suddenly becomes suspended, what a surprise! Quite cool to fly with Peter Pan!
Boat captain was super animated and amusing, making the ride fun and rather exciting. Don’t brush the hippos’ teeth!
It’s a nice ride after a heavy lunch. The train meanders around the Western section of the park with interesting commentary by the driver and views of the Wild West.
Sing and dance with Stitch! Cute animatronics with some nice surprises thrown in.
It’s huge with endless things to do. The queue for Beauty and the Beast is worth it. Orderly and clean, great experience for the kids.
