Breathtaking Hotel Overlooking the Scenery of Nara: ANDO HOTEL Nara Wakakusayama's Wedding 【Stay Free with 'Saw Marry'】
2021.03.14 published
If you're looking for a wedding venue in Nara♡
Hello, I am Haruno Tsuzaki from Marry.
I would like to introduce you to a lovely hotel that I recently found and thought, "This is the best in Nara!" where you can have a wonderful wedding ceremony♡
A stunning hotel with a panoramic view of the ancient capital♡
The recommended venue is the newly opened 【ANDOHOTEL】*
Opened in July 2020, this hotel offers breathtaking views of Wakakusa Mountain, one of Japan's three great night views.
You can hold your reception at the hotel's main dining area, and...
Thanks to the large front windows, it feels as if you are floating in the forest, having your wedding.
I actually went for a tour♡
I fell in love with the space at first sight and was so curious that I went for an interview!♡
ANDO HOTEL is about a 15-minute drive from Kintetsu Nara Station.
As I drove down the driveway and got out of the car, I was charmed by the cute noren hanging at the entrance♡
(It seems like taking photos like this is popular*)
The hotel lounge has glass walls all around.
It's a luxurious space that feels like being outdoors even though you're indoors.
There are board games and binoculars available for guests to use freely; it's so stylish!♡
(It felt like a trendy place from Tokyo Calendar!)
In the lobby, they burn real firewood.
I was able to roast marshmallows and sandwich them in crackers♡
It was fun, delicious, and the perfect leisure activity.
The restaurant for the reception is wonderful at any time of the day.
(On a cloudy evening)
(At night)
Not only the reception venue, but I also got to see each room, and they offered amazing views and atmosphere.
It seems like a great option for domestic honeymoons♡ I really recommend that couples stay at least once♡
The private open-air bath where you can see Todai-ji and the Five-Story Pagoda was incredibly relaxing♡
Besides the spacious main dining area, there are also private rooms (which also offer stunning views), and I thought if I lived in Nara, I would definitely want to have the family meeting here...
Ceremonies like this can be held♡
If you have your wedding at ANDO HOTEL, you can choose from five different options for the ceremony location♩
【1】
Use the same venue as the reception (the main dining room at ANDO HOTEL) for the ceremony*
【2】
At the chapel in the sister establishment "The Hilltop Terrace Nara"♡
The forest that spreads behind the chapel is the Kasuga Primeval Forest, registered as a World Heritage site*
【3】
A ceremony at the foot of the adjacent Wakakusa Mountain is also possible, creating an atmosphere like that of abroad♡
It’s wonderful, like The Sound of Music.
【4】
You can also have a garden ceremony on the terrace♡
The main tree, a Japanese dogwood, is an impressive 150 years old. It’s a space that feels steeped in history*
【5】
Furthermore, ANDO HOTEL can also arrange a ceremony at Kasuga-taisha Shrine.
You can coordinate a wedding that beautifully combines the history and nature characteristic of Nara♡
Free stay for the newlyweds with "I saw it on Marry"♡
After visiting for an interview and experiencing its wonderfulness, I learned from the staff, "For those who come for a tour after seeing Marry and decide to book, we will give you a free stay for your wedding day♡"
(That’s fantastic!)
