Lovely old ryokan in the heart of nara. Housemaster was very kind and room had everything you needed. The little bath house was amazingly clean and well kept for such a small place. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit nara who wants an authentic japanese experience

The traditional room was remarkable. I love the floor sleeping. The place has a nice public onsen. If you are into manga the owner has a huge collection to check out. Also there is a massage chair in the lobby that I recommend for after your bath. This place is tucked back off of the main road so it is quiet. I highly recommend this for a night or multi night stay if available.

The ryokan is very convenient, it is close to Nara park and railway station. Staff is friendly and helpful, the hot tub is a huge plus although you may need to learn the manner of using it beforehand and it's a bit small, the capacity is 2 persons. However there is no passenger lift available, if you hate stairs you may need to reconsider.

we like everything but the a/c. a/c is not quite cool as u expect from a regular hotel where u can adjust the temperature to your liking. i inform the front desk and he checked it out. unfortunately, 16 C is the coolest it can be. coming here on a summer getaway is not fun to have a “fan cold” room where outside is a 100 F. the front desk dude speqks english whick is q plus.

A relaxed place without the usual formalities. A great hall, themed around manga and samurais, lots of board games and many classic mangas to read (Dragonball, Death note etc., complete series).

Overpriced and impersonal

This ryokan has the basics you would need, but the price is high and The owners appear to be a family so they must be busy, but there is no warmth about the service.

Tatami room guest house in Nara

Great location in Nara. Tatami room with futons and private toilet. Shower and sento (soaking bath) downstairs. The guest house is halfway between a ryokan andlow cost hotel. Old and a little shabby, but very inexpensive for area.Easy walk to train stations and todaiji temple.
