DAY 1
KYOTO, starting point for a trip around the historical capital.
You will first stay in “Mercure Kyoto Station,” which was inspired by the Heian period and is situated on the site of the former Heian Kyo. Major tourist locations like Gion and Arashiyama are easily accessible by train or bus, and the hotel is close to several historic temples, including Nishi Honganji Temple and Toji Temple.
DAY 2
The journey from Heian to Heijo takes one page.
The next day after breakfast is check out.
Enjoy a 40-minute ride on the Kintetsu train while taking in the rich history and natural surroundings outside the train window.
You are in charge of making your own travel arrangements, and there is no set train schedule, so you can choose when to go to Nara. Following check-out, you have the option of going straight to Nara or visiting the Kyoto sights you missed the day before. We will make the travel stress-free.
DAY 2
Escape the gloom of daily life with a luxurious hotel stay at the Novotel Nara.
You will spend the second day at the Novotel Nara, which is ideally situated close to tourist attractions but still manages to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city while still offering the peace and quiet of the historic capital.
In addition to exploring the neighboring Heijo Kyuseki Historical Park, which is well-known for its Suzaku Gate, you may unwind and share your travel experiences in the hotel’s rooftop terrace and spacious public bath.
DAY 3
Take a city tour to fully enjoy Nara.
After a healthy breakfast at the all-day dining, set off on a city tour.
See the traditional “red silk ware” made in Nara, see the well-known Kofukuji Temple and Nara Park, then stop by a charming café for a rest.
It is advised to use the “Gurutto Bus” that passes through Nara City since it offers convenient access to a number of tourist destinations.
Furthermore, the fact that both hotels offer lounge services is a pleasant touch.
At Mercure Kyoto Station, you can enjoy light refreshments and alcohol such as wine and Japan’s sake in a free-flowing style from 14:30-17:00, while at Novotel Nara, you can freely access the Executive Lounge, which is only available to specific guests, from 7:00 to-21:30.

The hospitality group “Accor,” based in France, offers “Mercure” hotels, which are designed to provide travelers around the world with the experience of “Local Inspired Hotels” (hotels that cherish local inspiration) through design and cuisine. These hotels are expanding globally.
