JR West Hotels Launches Campaign to Celebrate Nara Hotel's Renovation
JR West Hotels is gearing up for an exciting campaign beginning August 17, 2026, to celebrate the renovation of the Nara Hotel's West Wing, scheduled to officially reopen on September 2, 2026. This renowned establishment, known as the “hospitality pavilion of Kansai,” has stood as a testament to luxury and tradition since its inception in 1909. To mark this momentous occasion, guests will have the chance to win pairs of accommodation stays and dining experiences across 13 participating JR West Hotels.
Campaign Details
During the campaign period, guests who stay at any of the 13 JR West Hotels or dine at designated hotel restaurants or shops with a single transaction of 3,000 yen or more will be eligible to enter a prize draw for exclusive gifts. A total of 15 pairs (30 winners) will be selected to receive either:
- - A Prize: A pair of accommodation tickets at the Nara Hotel (5 pairs available).
- - B Prize: A pair of lunch tickets at Teppanyaki Hanagiku (10 pairs available).
The accommodations within the newly renovated West Wing, with a concept of 'clear serenity,' blend traditional elegance with modern comforts. Guests can enjoy an elevated experience filled with the beauty of Nara's lush greenery and cultural heritage, offering a serene escape from the bustle of daily life.
Additionally, on the same reopening day, Teppanyaki Hanagiku will also commence operations, providing a unique dining experience overlooking Naramachi, where local ingredients are masterfully crafted into exquisite dishes using French techniques.
