I think the place could have been a little cleaner, but other than this it was perfect.

The breakfast was better than I had expected, it was filling and tasty. The staff were very attentive and kind. The location was great, it was right next to the Nara deer park, and there was a pond in front of the hotel where I could see the deer from inside. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Nara, for travel or work.

Nothing, actually.

Location was great, right next to Nara Park. The room was also amazing, with nice and cozy chairs to sit looking at the deer.

The hotel itself is in desperate need of updating and a deep cleaning. It did not feel clean. There are no private showers, only public showers and a bath that is available in the evening. Not everyone in my family was happy about this, but others were fine with it. Probably a little overpriced for the quality of the facility.

The location is truly excellent. It was a quiet, peaceful, traditional ryokan. The Japanese breakfast was good but not great. The room was plenty large enough.

Located near to Nara park the hotel is under 10 mins away from the kintetsu Nara line. The hotel location is convenient to access the many attractions that Nara offers. Breakfast was excellent. As mentioned by other travellers it is a little dated but it suited our needs Staff were very friendly and helpful. Another plus was the excellent breakfast which set us up for the day.

The overall atmosphere just did not have that Japanese zing and warm that other ryokan accommodations had. Also. I never saw another guest. Strange how empty the place felt during Golden Week. The onsen needs to have more hours to attend Especially in the early morning. No one but.me was ever there. Strange.

The location was terrific. By a pond where you could see the famous deerr from my window. The royokan style room was a bonus. Futon was very comfortable.

It's a cozy Japanese style hotel in a picturesque location, near the Nara park, some deer also walk right in front of it. Staff is friendly, there is a possibility to have tea coffee, futon is absolutely adorable! Japanese breakfast was also nutritious and tasty! But the check out time is too early, 10 a.m. There is no free parking and no amenities like a hair brush etc

It’s a bit dated, but still kept in good condition, as you’d expect in Japan.

Great location, although the pagoda opposite it is undergoing renovation right now, which is obviously not the property’s fault. The breakfast was top quality and the staff accommodated our request for vegetarian meal, which is not always possible in Japan. It was overall a great experience to stay in a more traditional Japanese place, highly recommended.

Public bath nice but it was too cold the room before entering Cleanliness good but not perfect No possibility to book breakfast the day before, it would have been useful to know earlier that booking was required many days in advance

This was a single-night "inbetween" stay that I hadn't put much thought into. The ryokan was comfortable, the staff friendly, and the location quite nice. Breakfast was lovely.

Took a weekend day trip to Nara in the midst of a multi-week business trip to Osaka-Kyoto-Tokyo. Nice little ryokan with warm service and homey Japanese-style room. Futon was set up on arrival. Decent room size, gracious hosts, and very good Japanese breakfast (they bring it straight to your room at a pre scheduled time). Public bath is small but no complaints, as it does the trick if you're in need of some relaxation. Coin laundry on premises worked well. Location is 10 minutes walk from Nara Park in one direction and 5 minutes walk from the main street with restaurants and shops in the other direction.

If you're western and booked the Ryokan style futon beds, you might struggle. The floor is hard and the futons are pretty thin. The onsite baths are insanely hot, like burn your skin hot, even hours after they're filled.

Breakfast is absolutely incredible. Location is unreal, the deer Park is basically at your doorstep as is the Nara market district.
