This is a very special ryokan offering in that 1) it’s just inside the park gates, 2) some of the nicest Japanese traditions are honored here, 3) you can get your own open air bath that overlooks a private garden. I have no idea why others would not give this 5 stars unless they reserved the wrong type of room. Their gift shop also has wonderful things that are easy to pack to bring back for the folks at home.

Incredible Authentic Stay

The staff were wonderful, from the moment we were picked up at the station to accomodating a food allergy they made our stay a great one. If possible splurge for the room with a view overlooking the city. Traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast were incredible.

Nice ryokan on the mountain

A guesthouse (ryokan) on the mountain slope near Nara. Nice views and good services. We had a room with a balcony and a traditional bath at the balcony. The room proce included a 12 dish traditional Japanese dinner and a breakfast, so all included it was truly a bargain. The mountain peak with its views is also a worthwhile place to visit.

Traditional Japanese Experience

Lovely room, we had a private onsen which was fantastic! The banquet dinner was tasty, beautifully displayed & served. Same with the full traditional Japanese breakfast. I found it hard to sleep on the floor, but it was all part of the experience.

Fun ryokan experience

Stayed only one night in a room with private hot bath on the patio and had dinner in a private room. Staff was awesome, the area was beautiful, worth a splurge for the Ryokan experience. It's a bit outside the city, but the shuttle bus was great and the staff were helpful with instructions on where to meet it at the train station. The meal was wonderful in a small room with pretty view of a pond.

Overall, this place is a great option if you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The surroundings are calm and serene. However, I did notice that the hotel facilities seemed a bit outdated. Although there were some updated amenities, I also noticed some black mold around the vents in the Rykon. The staff member who checked us in and served our private dining was exceptional.

Kind service from the beginning to the end. Especially the ladies and gentleman from the reception and restaurant. Shuttle service is convenient for tourists. Dinner and breakfast sets are decent, not luxurious. Room is clean and view is good. The balcony provides a peaceful little corner for relax.

Relaxing & Efficient Check in

We arrived in Nara. Left our bags at the hotel office so we could explore Nara. Our bags were taken to the hotel and put in our room. We were taken to the hotel in their bus later. We were given local refreshments upon arrival and checked in straight away. Fantastic. All staff were exceptionally polite.

We were really impressed by the hotel when they received us with our names on the board and immediately assigned a staff to guide us to a sitting area where drinks and snacks were served ! Check in was done very quickly and we were guided to choose yukatas before we were brought to our room. The view from the traditional tatami room is breathtaking ! We also had the choice of dining in room or at the restaurant. We enjoyed our stay there and the shuttle service made staying in the mountains a breeze. We will stay again if we revisit Nara !

Great traditional Japanese experience

Pretty much everything about this place was great. The staff were welcoming and very helpful (and did well with speaking English). The room itself was brilliant and was everything you could hope for from a tatami mat ryokan room. I'd definitely recommend the private hot spring room! Yukata are supplied too to give the full traditional experience. Location was perfect and was easily accessible due to the free shuttle bus they offer from Kintetsu-Nara station. The shuttle bus also took us straight to Nara Park the following day which was very helpful

Traditional Onsen Hotel

A traditional onsen hotel in the area with free shuttle service from JR station. Reception and dining services were great but communication in English was still a barrier here. We have reserved a "panoramic view" room several months ago via Hotel.com because we liked the descriptions and photos shown on the hotel website. Unluckily when we arrived and during check-in, it was learnt that there was only one such room in this hotel with such "panoramic view" while other rooms, other than those on ground floor, still have nice view over the area. A bit disappointment on our side because we were photo-takers and liked to relax and enjoy the environment from the room where we stayed.

The free bus shuttle service from Kintetsu-Nara was extremely useful. They also let us check in luggage early. This was my first time at a Onsen. My wife and I really enjoyed it! I definitely recommend having both the dinner and the breakfast, the spread is very pretty and delicious. I definitely recommend picking up a few Japanese phrases or words, but if you are patient and observe their diagrams their system and rules are pretty easy to learn. We had a room with a private bath as well, which was really enjoyable to use. All in all, it was a wonderful first experience. Be aware that the location is kind of in the mountains, so there is an element of the outdoors that you should be conscious of. They also have a bar that they host in the lobby in the evening with simple cocktails. The night view is great, it's quiet for a great honeymoon. We'd love to stay again :)
