This ryokan is very charming and also very close to the tourist areas, but in the narrow side streets so it is quite quiet. I really enjoyed this place. I strongly recommend!

We loved our stay at your Ryokan. Thank you for storing my son’s luggage a few days in advance - it was so helpful. You chose an excellent architect for the room design and renovation. Thanks for your warm hospitality.

Great Ryokan, poor staff.

Was initially going to leave a worse review after a terrible interaction with the woman on the front desk after she put use in a basic room after we paid for deluxe, then refused to move us. However the charm of the Ryokan itself, the great onsen and the free massage chairs somewhat made up for the rude service when checking in.

It was super easy to walk to from the metro. The area was quiet, peaceful, and there was a great area for shopping and eating. Nara park was not far. The ryokan was incredible and the temperature was perfect. The rooms were super clean and I love that they provided amenities.

Stayed 1 night at Nara Ryokan. Generally we had a good time but there were a few issues that took away from the experience slightly (hence 4 stars instead of 5). Pros were: - Private onsen was really lovely after a long day of walking - Room itself was quite spacious and 'felt' like a real Ryokan (although it's more of an approximation of a Ryokan than a real one) - Beds were large and mattresses relatively comfortable Cons: - Maybe this is a normal feature of a Ryokan, but there were no curtains or way of reducing the light in the morning. Did not sleep well as a consequence - Staff could have been more helpful. Waited 10 minutes at reception for assistance before a staff member finally showed up.
