It's close to Nara Station and the location is great. There are many delicious restaurants around. Nara Park is also close by and it's in a perfect location. I came to Nara because Osaka hotel prices are too expensive on weekends, but it was my first time using a shared room and it was quiet and worth a try.
Pleasant stay with my husband, mum and auntie. The place was clean and very near the the shopping street.
There is no lift, elderly might have trouble with their heavy luggage. The 2 private onsen bath has to be 'reserved' by taking the timing key chains at the counter.
Overall, I was quite satisfied, meeting my expectations. The price was relatively reasonable, and the value for money was good.
The facilities were complete, with a bathroom and shared washing machine within the B&B. Although there was only one bathroom, I didn't have to worry about long waits. There was also a kitchen available, and the overall cleanliness was excellent. The nearest bus stop is 300 meters away, so transportation and the surrounding area are acceptable. The owner is Chinese and speaks Mandarin without any issues.
Room 201 was quite small, practically covered entirely with mattresses, and only accommodated a 28-inch suitcase, though the owner had explained in advance.
Note that there are few people nearby, and most of them are elderly, so please keep your voice down both on the way and in the room.
Although the history of the homestay is a bit old, the supporting infrastructure is not bad. It is a very charming Japanese tatami accommodation. It is good to experience it for one night. You need to buy towels, toothbrushes and other things in the hotel by yourself. They provide them here. It seems to be about 100 yen (I forgot the exact price). In addition, the light in the room I stayed in needs to be pressed for a long time, otherwise the light cannot be turned on. (Room number is 213or203) I don’t know how the quilt is laid. The liner will run out of the sheets, and it is a bit dirty, and the blood stains are not cleaned. It seems that the luggage can only be placed downstairs? Because shoes are not allowed to be worn upstairs, which is not very convenient. The shower and toilet are on the first floor. There is a sink on the second floor
This hotel is very good value hot spring is beautiful soup praise
The food is not very special, but the specialty restaurant dinner is good. The price of one berth and two meals is very high value.
The room is Japanese-style tatami, space is enough
Amenities and services were substantial and the best ✨
Please bring your rental items immediately!
I was worried about the smell around the water and the glass of the bath cherry blossom pattern, so it's only negative 🙏
But I want to stay again!
The location is great. You can walk uphill to Mt. Wakakusa. It’s beautiful to feed the deer and watch the sunset. It’s very close to Todaiji Kasuga Taisha Shrine. The small suite with bunk beds for three people and a kitchen is so beautiful. You can make dinner and breakfast early in the morning. The deer is in front of the window, it feels like a vacation
I stayed here on a solo trip.
As other people have said in their reviews, the staff were really polite and welcoming. I was very grateful.
The private room was spacious enough just to sleep. The bedding was clean. However, since it's all made of wood, it may be best not to place delicate items directly on it.
The washroom and shower room were very clean and easy to use.
I would like to stay here again when I visit Tenri (or Nara). Thank you.
The stay experience exceeded expectations! Five-star recommendation for this treasure hotel!
This stay completely refreshed my perception of business hotels! From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was impressed by the hotel's modern and simple style and the warm and thoughtful service of the staff. The front desk lady smiled kindly and reminded me of the surrounding traffic routes when checking in. The details were perfect!
The room was even more surprising! The room was spacious and bright, the floor-to-ceiling windows had a wide view, and the softness of the bedding was comparable to the Simmons mattress at home. The service was really heartwarming.
Great

Very Good
All good, everything was find. Staff speak English . Not japanese .
Lovely little hotel with a walkable to Nara Park location. The room was small but fine for one person. I appreciated using the hot springs after a long day of walking around. The room was warm and comfortable.
This is an old ryokan with a history. Everything was smooth and beautiful, though we did not speak Japanese, nor the personnel speak our language, we were able to communicate and enjoy open air bath, traditional dinner and breakfast. The stuff is professional, warm and friendly. The area itself is famous for pilgrimage and views. Apart from soaking in a bath, one can walk around the village and visit numerous shrines and one magnificent huge temple, which is absolute must-see. Another delight is the beautiful view from the ryokan window. The same breathtaking feeling may have at the dining hall watching remote hills and the valley down the hill. Very authentic experience of traditional Japanese relax holiday. highly recommended!
Check-in after 15:00. The staff are very friendly, including those who speak English at a sufficient level so that you can understand each other without a translator. The room is spacious, heated/cooled by air conditioning. There is also a kotatsu, under which it is very comfortable to sit, a tea set, including a kettle. Yukata and khvori are very beautiful and comfortable. In the room there is also a memo for foreigners on the correct visit to the onsen (be sure to read it, this is important). There are only two onsen - one large with a view of the river (there are curtains) and one smaller without windows. The water is moderately hot, not scalding. As a dinner, kaiseki was provided with a change of dishes - it was very tasty and VERY much (honestly, we could not eat everything, since we usually eat much less, for which we apologize to the staff)
We stayed here to experience Ryokan. This is a family owned facility in a small village up on the mountains. The suite that we stayed in was huge, with 2 separating rooms for sleeping and the other as a living room. Though there is no connected bathroom, toilet is round the corner. There is a gender based bathrooms on the 1st and 2nd floor. Onsen is also within the building, for ¥200 per person and for individual, not communal. Each person can use soak for 10 minutes. The food is amazing. Though the owners cannot speak English, they use mobile device for immediate translation. We would come back again.
