staff very helpful location japanese style onsen rooms comfirtable

Amazing stuff, great location. It was clean, I liked the facilities, restroom, shower, kitchen, patio, everything was great. Overall the style of the guesthouse was enjoyable. Kitchen and common area/living room was pretty big. The dormitory was quite big as well, there was space for luggage, small lockers for valuables, even a sofa. You could hold your backpack inside your bed because there was enough space. I would definitely stay there one more time if I were in Nara.

Great hotel! Looks even nicer than the pictures. Great location and service!

We miss Shikitei and Nara already. This place was truly authentic Japanese. Japanese rooms, with futon beds on the floor and grounding sheets. Best sleep we ever had with our 1 year old and 4 year old. Several different rooms which make it easy to move around after kids are asleep and there is so much space to play. The staff is incredible, super friendly and attentive. The meals were prepared with much thought and love. We booked half board and every night was different. They tried to cater to the kids palette as well and made special meals for them for both breakfast and dinner. Super fresh and delicious. You can book a 60 min massage for around $40 for 60 minutes and we did so for both of us 2 nights in a row. They call someone from outside and they will come to your room. The onsen/ryoken/private bath is wonderful, they allow you to share with the kids and even with tattoos without having to cover them. The bathrooms in the room itself is already an experience with deep onsen bathtub, bucket and shower. Separate toilets from shower and tub. Air conditioning is also provided and the staff was just so helpful and kind and loving. We want to go back there and really enjoyed this unique experience. It's worth every penny and especially if you book the food option too. The walk from the train station is only slightly uphill and manageable and you immediately see deer everywhere. From the little family hotel you walk into the main town of Nara in 10 min with shops and food and you can also find the entrance to walk to the shrine den in the woods as well. we were also greeted with an awesome tea ceremony upon arrival and everyday were served tea and something Japanese in the afternoons in the room.

Very spacious. Excellent location.

Super friendly staff, good size bedroom and delicious breakfast.

It was the best four days in my three weeks visiting in Japan. This ryokan is very cosy. Though everything looked authentic and traditional all the facilities weren't old, but instead very clean an modern. The breakfast was very tasty and there was variety each day. If you don't take the cable car (station is right next to the ryokan) you'll get a good workout each day, when you explore the surroundings - mainly the beautiful temples. There are many stairs! After a day of waking, relaxing in the onsen was the highlight of my day. But the best thing was the very friendly owner and staff. Even though I couldn't speak Japanese they helped me with everything and were really caring. I will definitely be back! :)

Everything is so neat and comfortable, with free snacks, and water.

Beautiful space with amazing soaking tub

The price was quite fair for Nara at this time of year. The manager was very friendly. It’s an easy 15 minute or so stroll to the Nara park area.
