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 250 square meters overlooking the Kofukuji Temple in Nara Park. The suite consists of two separate living rooms and three 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.
