Onsite onsen, game room, hotel shuttle to nearby train stations, helpful staff, spacious rooms, well adorned, gift shop, all amenities you could need.

Dated furnishings - 1980’s dial telephones and bathroom appliances, although top notch stuff for 1980. If you don’t book a meal plan, you cannot eat at the hotel at all, even if you want to pay separately.

Large rooms in a Ryokan style. We loved the onsen and they included a yucatan to wear. There were lots of choices at breakfast. They provided a free shuttle to Nara Park and the train terminal. The desk staff were so helpful when we needed to make a collect phone call! Much appreciated!!

It was a bit far especially if you don't have a vehicle, but they provided a shuttle service which we appreciated. It's an older property but that was part of the charm and it was so spacious.

The room was amazing, it was spacious there was a non-shared bathroom. The room also had a mirror and open windows to sit at in the morning. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast that came with the stay had a generous variety to choose from. There is also a cute souvenir shop to browse.

The location isn't close to the train stations, so you need to take a bus or taxi to the hotel. You can't check in until 3pm, so if you arrive early you have to wait, but they have a cafe you can order food or drinks at to bide your time. Also, not as close to the Nara deer park, you do need to take a bus to get down there.

Great traditional Japanese hotel. A little out of date but that is what tradition is about. Onsen was very nice. Both dinner and breakfast is great. The location is a little far for most Nara tourist sites but hotel provides shuttle from/to train station.

The bed is not real tatami. It is a twin size mattress on top of a bunch of smaller pads. It is OK for average people. However for larger size folks it may collapse during middle of the night.

This is a lovely quiet hotel just outside Nara. The facilities are a little dated and could use an upgrade. Nevertheless this is a wonderful little find. The Onsen is quiet and easily accessible. The room was huge, bed super comfortable and the restaurant on site was amazing!! Love that they supply kimonos for dressing for traditional dinner. Breakfast is a good mix of western diet and Japanese breakfast foods.

Could use a little TLC

I loved the onsen/ hotspring! It was very relaxing and had a large space from what I've seen at some other hotels. The dinner was delicious and the experience was fun to try traditional dishes. The beds are very comfortable!

The in-room bathroom was clean but dated.

Very kind and nice staff. The public bath house was very nice with outdoor facility as well. Bedding was very comfortable, too.

Only issue was the really loud noise from the Cicadas outside. We were all waken by the the noise early morning.

Amazing hotel, huge room in Japanese style with tatami mat flooring. Wonderful Kaiseki evening neck as part of my finger and breakfast plan.

It is a little way out of the centre of Nara but the Hotel runs a shuttle bus to some of the rail stations.

The onsen was wonderful Room was very comfortable Pool was very great Staff were amazing Dinner was exceptional and attention to detail was at a very high standard

No issues met expectations

The onsen and rooms were amazing.

The shuttle bus was not available for pick up from the station. There was no dinner provided at the hotel on a Tuesday.
