Unfortunately, the breakfast did not have vegetarian options. One has to inform the hotel a week ahead for special diet arrangement. Most restaurants near the hotel were closed at night in that area, but luckily we found a chain restaurant 5 minutes walk from the hotel.

The atmosphere was very peaceful and the lounge was small but lovely! I loved the public bath and the bath cloth/shoes which the hotel nicely prepared for everyone.

You must use bus or taxi service. The last bus from the station is 16:45 and the first bus to the station is 9:20 am. Taxi costs 1100 yen one way. Bus stop is 3 minutes from hotel. Walking is treacherous in some areas as the road narrows and it has intersections you must negotiate. No laundromat in hotel.

All of the staff were very friendly. By the second day most everyone knew me. The food was well prepared—good presentation and delicately seasoned. The room was large and airy. Located next to small farms and Horyuji temples , the atmosphere was rustic, quiet , and peaceful.

We wish that we would have known that we had to make reservations for dinner on the property as there are very few options in the vicinity.

A 10+ on the wonderful warm, welcoming, professional staff, the comfy, very clean & well appointed room. The Japanese breakfast was a new experience, delicious & plentiful with great attention to service. We loved the complimentary 2 hour Temple tour provided by the hotel even though it was in Japanese! And our evening communal baths were wonderful with 2 selections…one green tea & one with infrared stones. Hope to go back around the world to it one day!

The food is a little bland

A pristine and relaxing stay Recommended for city folk who desire a well- rested break Clean air and food and quiet surrounds Directly opposite Horyuji temple Interesting planned events (Buddhism centred presentation and quiz) Front reception staff are pleasant, warm, cheerful and helpful

Air con in the room kept shutting down, could be from the setup of remote control which we could not read japanese.

Privacy ,cleanliness, clean quiet onsen. Location close to the temple in 1 min, we can't speak Japanese but the staff recommended us to book English tour online in advance. Volunter guide Nakao came before the appointment time waiting for us. The temple in the late afternoon really impressed us.

No security on East building. No stuff at the entrance, no key locks during day time so anyone can enter the building. No bus service after 17:00 from the nearest station no taxi is waiting at the station so we had to call a taxi. There are only two taxi companies but one of them told us their service finished at 19:00. The hotel should have offer the shuttle bus service when it is so inconvenient and far from the station.

1. as a 4 star, it doesn't contain a swimming pool or gym room. 2. no curtain so the room will be very bright at 7 am and you are not able to sleep any more. 3. the air conditioner makes me feel very uncomfortable and hardly have a good sleep

very traditional decoration. nice staff

1. Meals need to be pre booked and I wish they had added that information on the booking page as it was a bit of struggle to find a dinner place around this hotel.

This is right next to Horyuji temple and thus 13/14 km away from Nara town centre. Nara has limited public transport so getting to this hotel is bit of a hassle. Lot of shops/ restaurants around this area close early so even finding a dinner venue ( which you may need if you dont pre book meals at the hotel) is bit tough. What I did like: 1. Right next to Horyuji Temple, 7th century temple. I was planning to skip the temple ( I came from Kyoto!!) but as it was right next door so I decided to venture it. Spent 3 hours inside the temple complex, a very memorable experience. Must visit for those who like historical sites. 2. Peaceful and clean place, rooms were comfortable. It has nice small onsen. 3. Staff: While language was a barrier but staff was very helpful.
