Beautiful view of Nara especially at night. Service was amazing. I wish I checked in earlier so I could have enjoyed even more time there haha!

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.

The service was great and really appreciated the transport service from the station to the property. The only thing is the property is a bit dated and could use an uplift soon

This ryokan was an amazing experience! We were able to have as close to an onsen experience as we were going to find with the open-air bath in our room. The food was amazing! The variety & quality were top notch!

What a lovely stay. We had great service, delicious food, and a wonderful overall experience. It was a restful getaway to the mountains with a private onsen just for us. The patio onsen had a beautiful view of a well-cared garden and was a very nice place to pass the time. There isn't much else to do directly at the hotel unless you take a bus or taxi into Nara, but that really forced us to let go and relax.

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 However, I did notice that the hotel facilities seemed a bit outdated.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.
Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024

The first thing I have to say is the staff was excellent. They could not have been nicer. The reason I gave it only four stars was we simply did not enjoy sleeping on the floor OR the options for breakfast. Communication was a bit lacking too, but that was partly the language barrier. Also, although we enjoyed the ryokan experience, we won't do it again. Dinner was awesome, prepared in our room, traditional Japanese fare, mainly sushi, soup, salad, etc. A LOT OF FOOD! The room was small, though, and the futons on the floor were not comfortable at all. I think we just prefer western style hotels, and that is not their fault.

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 !

It’s a nice property with a beautiful view of the city. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. My husband and I stayed at the maisonette room and it’s beautiful and relaxing it’s good for a family or big group. The food they served us are delicious. I highly recommend! But be sure to have a vehicle or taxi to get there. We tried to walk to the property from the bus stop and it’s quite a hike but the men at the check point helped us and called the property to pick us up.
