The price

Outside bath for 2 was good. The Japan experience was outstanding- cloths to wear saki to drink food and eating on the floor all part of the experience In addition the walks around the place are amazing- 1000 year old tree at a world heratage temple 5 min walk away

My husband and I loved our stay. The hospitality and kindness of the staff has been incredible. They made our first ryokan experience memorable

Staff were amazing and couldn't do enough. The location is inside Nara Park which makes it perfect for exploring. This is an experience you should do at least one on a visit to Japan.

Too much food but this was corrected when we asked for less food since we do not like to waste.

Room was large and comfortable. Meals were tasty and beautifully presented. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

This felt like less of a hotel stay and more of an experience as a whole. If you are exploring Nara I would recommend taking at least a day to just enjoy this hotel stay. We were greeted by extremely friendly staff who helped us with every little thing, from taking our luggage to ordering a taxi for our departure. We were served luxurious meals for dinner and breakfast in our room, by staff who set our table and made our bed. The location was magical with beautiful nature and deers roaming around outside. They had an amazing natural hot spring bath as well. Would warmly recommend this place.

The authenticity

The breakfast menu could use some variety. I understand most people might not stay longer than 2 nights, but if so, the variety of menu should be added in a mix.

All staff are very tentative, friendly, and so welcoming. The property is situated close to the park within a walking distance and up on the hill, so you get a good view of a sunset. The food was beautifully plated, all the dishes taste very good and you can tell that it’s from attention to details.

This is a magical place, inside the Nara Park. Surrounded by nature and deers, it allows you to feel the real soul of Japan. Everything was perfect: service, structure, position, food, even the night sky. Its position allows you to reach the strategic points of Nara by walk in about 10 minutes. This means that if you wake up early enough, you will be able to dodge the main flux of tourists. And this is an asset in my opinion.

Outside of being a bit of a challenge to get to which you can't help, the tranquillity is very worth it; my only regret is not staying longer!!

Extremely friendly staff and a really nice place. You arrive and the staff take your bags and shoes as they take you to your room and give you a tour of the place, you are then left to settle down before your 11 course dinner arrives in your bedroom. The staff are so friendly, in the morning we got taken to the deer park by a lovely older man and given Benton boxes to eat for breakfast. Really loved my stay here, the bath was amazing too.

Location is great, right in Nara park. Staff was helpful and understanding of the language barrier. Let us drop our bags off early before check-in. Great food and service for both supper and breakfast. Nice big room for the two of us. They were nice enough to order our taxi for us the morning we left so we didn't have to worry about hiking back to the train (or bus) station.

I wish there were outlets near the bed (futon) so I could have my phone nearby while it’s being charged at night.

The location, the staff, the food and the room (except the comment below). I especially enjoyed the little morning hike up Wakakusa-Yama mountain with a delicious breakfast.

Fabulous Ryokan experience. Located on the edge of Nara Park (deers at the front door). Bus 77 from Nara JR takes you to Nara Kasugano Forum stop, then 15mins walk. Todai-ji 10mins walk. Staff were very professional, helpful and extremely friendly. Room 107 (Kiku) was quiet and spacious overlooking wooded area (deers). Choice of Yukata for the ladies. Exceptional dinner and breakfast (Japanese) delivered to the room by the kind staff (coffee available in reception). Bathing can be taken in the relaxing Onsen with all the usual amenities. Would highly recommend.

The ryokan is right in Nara park, making it a very wonderful experience. when you step out you are met with very adorable deers. Walks at night meant also being able to see the beautiful night scenes of the shrines and temples in Nara park. The ryokan’s meals are huge so make sure not to eat too much before the meals! Miho, who served us, was the kindest most pleasant person. I really enjoyed our conversations together. At night, the hot bath is a pleasant end of tiring days. Truly recommend this to everyone!
