The staff are very attentive, the food was excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. We did have a problem in one of the rooms we booked and we were immediately moved to another room within minutes. Fantastic experience and one everyone should try if planning a stop in Nara. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lili 28 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great first Ryokan experience.

We were able to have as close to an onsen experience as we were going to find with the open-air bath in our room. The food was amazing! The variety & quality were top notch! ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiffany 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a very special ryokan offering in that 1) it’s just inside the park gates, 2) some of the nicest Japanese traditions are honored here, 3) you can get your own open air bath that overlooks a private garden. I have no idea why others would not give this 5 stars unless they reserved the wrong type of room. Their gift shop also has wonderful things that are easy to pack to bring back for the folks at home. ##### Tiffany Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Louise 20 Dec 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We came as a part of bigger trip to Japan for one night get away from the busy cities. The private Onsen was everything we wanted and needed- that part truly was 5 stars. Apart from that I have little kind words to say. The dinner that was included was not on par with the previous experiences we had with the Japanese food, the dishes were not very tasty (might just be my preference) but I felt ethically troubled by the shark fin soup. The service was stressed and too fast- we didn’t have time to finish one dish before the next 3 were presented. Thus turning them cold. We tried to convey this to the manager, but there is little English spoken here and the translator was hesitant to convey our critique. Dinner was so bad we decided to not have breakfast. The stress from dinner made all the relaxing and soaking beforehand go away and I personally felt as stressed as when I was back at work. We slept on tatami mats and averaged about 3 hours with sore bodies and aches the following morning. I don’t recommend this place. ##### Louise Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Iris Ah Ching 3 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The service was great and really appreciated the transport service from the station to the property.

We had great service, delicious food, and a wonderful overall experience. It was a restful getaway to the mountains with a private onsen just for us. The patio onsen had a beautiful view of a well-cared garden and was a very nice place to pass the time. There isn't much else to do directly at the hotel unless you take a bus or taxi into Nara, but that really forced us to let go and relax. ##### Natalie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### SHAY 2 May 2024 Liked: Staff & service Overall, this place is a great option if you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The surroundings are calm and serene. However, I did notice that the hotel facilities seemed a bit outdated. Although there were some updated amenities, I also noticed some black mold around the vents in the Rykon. The staff member who checked us in and served our private dining was exceptional. ##### SHAY Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### David 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The first thing I have to say is the staff was excellent. They could not have been nicer. The reason I gave it only four stars was we simply did not enjoy sleeping on the floor OR the options for breakfast. Communication was a bit lacking too, but that was partly the language barrier. Also, although we enjoyed the ryokan experience, we won't do it again. Dinner was awesome, prepared in our room, traditional Japanese fare, mainly sushi, soup, salad, etc. A LOT OF FOOD! The room was small, though, and the futons on the floor were not comfortable at all. I think we just prefer western style hotels, and that is not their fault. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Hiramatsu Hotels & Resorts Ginoza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-THE-HIRAMATSU-HOTELS-RESORTS-GINOZA.h32897372.Hotel-Information) > - [Fujisan Onsen Bessho SASA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Bessho-SASA.h14626817.Hotel-Information) > - [HOSHINOYA Taketomi Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taketomi-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Taketomi-Island.h5567170.Hotel-Information) > - [La Vista Fuji Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-La-Vista-Fuji-Kawaguchiko.h15976788.Hotel-Information) > - [Fufu Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-FUFU-KAWAGUCHIKO.h33760212.Hotel-Information) > - [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > - [HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-HOTEL-MYSTAYS-Fuji-Onsen-Resort.h16114229.Hotel-Information) > - [Ryokan Sakaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagano-Hotels-Ryokan-Sakaya.h11821616.Hotel-Information) > - [Yukimurasaki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Yukimurasaki.h15827086.Hotel-Information) > - [Sado Ryotsu Shiizaki Onsen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sado-Hotels-SADO-RYOTSU-SHIIZAKI-ONSEN-SUNSETLAKE-THE-HOTEL-AOKIYA.h23365964.Hotel-Information) > - [Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Niseko-Hotels-Rusutsu-Resort-Hotel-Convention.h3948188.Hotel-Information) > - [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > - [Fuji Onsenji Yumedono](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-Onsenji-Yumedono.h9635420.Hotel-Information) > - [Wakoshi Tobu Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saitama-Hotels-Wakoshi-Tobu-Hotel.h40135307.Hotel-Information) > - [Koyasan Saizenin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koya-Hotels-Koyasan-Saizenin.h27280781.Hotel-Information) > - [aduminoyu onyado nonomatsumoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matsumoto-Hotels-Aduminoyu-Onyado-Nonomatsumoto.h87802389.Hotel-Information) > - [Ohnoso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Onjuku-Hotels-Ohnoso.h98506481.Hotel-Information) > - [Unzen Azumaen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Unzen-Hotels-Unzen-Azumaen.h5775168.Hotel-Information) > - [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > - [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > - [LiVEMAX AMMS CanNa Resort Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-LiVEMAX-AMMS-CanNa-Resort-Villa.h5133859.Hotel-Information) > - [Forest Villa Huis Ten Bosch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sasebo-Hotels-Huis-Ten-Bosch-Forest-Villa.h11900097.Hotel-Information) > - [Glamday Style Hotel & Resort Okinawa Yomitan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-GLAMDAY-STYLE-HOTELRESORT-OKINAWA-YOMITAN.h33352505.Hotel-Information) > - [edit x seven FUJI GOTEMBA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gotemba-Hotels-FAV-LUX-FUJI-GOTEMBA.h112914944.Hotel-Information) > - [KAZENOOKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motobu-Hotels-KAZENOOKA.h106025944.Hotel-Information) > - [Asakusasannsou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uonuma-Hotels-Asakusasannsou.h94758363.Hotel-Information) > - [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > - [Asukasou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nara-Hotels-Asukasou.h2936627.Hotel-Information) ---
