It had its own onsen for private use which was nice since I have tattoos and could not attend other onsens. However the cleanliness could’ve been slightly better. The room was quite nice but if you’re traveling with others be aware they are small as are the in room bathrooms. Overall I liked the place. Central to Nara and the parks and shopping. ##### Jermaine Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Misty 22 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved this stay.

Nice water! ##### Yusa Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jamie 13 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Ryokan, poor staff. Was initially going to leave a worse review after a terrible interaction with the woman on the front desk after she put use in a basic room after we paid for deluxe, then refused to move us. However the charm of the Ryokan itself, the great onsen and the free massage chairs somewhat made up for the rude service when checking in. ##### Jamie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John 1 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Stayed 1 night at Nara Ryokan. Generally we had a good time but there were a few issues that took away from the experience slightly (hence 4 stars instead of 5). Pros were: - Private onsen was really lovely after a long day of walking - Room itself was quite spacious and 'felt' like a real Ryokan (although it's more of an approximation of a Ryokan than a real one) - Beds were large and mattresses relatively comfortable Cons: - Maybe this is a normal feature of a Ryokan, but there were no curtains or way of reducing the light in the morning. Did not sleep well as a consequence - Staff could have been more helpful. Waited 10 minutes at reception for assistance before a staff member finally showed up. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Armine 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is outstanding and the staff are very willing to help if you are amenable to no chairs in the room and only sitting on the floor. Also the room has no shower, so you either must use shower during your private time or if you miss you time slot you have no choice but to use it during public time. For ladies two showers, so at worse you will share with one other person. ##### Armine Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helene 6 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Le personnel était très accueillant malgré le peu de connaissance en anglais. La chambre était très propre grande et très confortable dans un atmosphère parfait de ryokan. Le Onsen privée était parfait et propre. Nous avons vraiment aimée notre nuit à ce Ryokan ##### Helene Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### PHUONG N 1 Nov 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I am extremely disappointed in my experience here. I have been staying connected with the host to reserve private onsen for myself but the time I wanted was reserved and not available. I was offered a time that I’m not available but the staff kept saying why can’t I change my plans to meet their reserved time or do the mixed gender baths. The staff lack the ability to communicate in English. This space is small and not worthwhile. I traveled back and forth but didn’t get to dip in an onsen once. I’m extremely disappointed and frustrated about the ability to communicate with the staff while they kept saying “it’s ok, it’s ok” but nothing is okay. There are too many restrictions and limited reservation times for onsen. Might be worthwhile to go to a 24 hour onsen then book them but you risk not having much privacy. The staff also have false information about luggage delivery and sent me to a convenience store 3 minutes away then I had to take it back to the hotel because the convenience store doesn’t deliver. This hotel doesn’t seem to have escalators or elevators available so have fun if you’re on the third floor. ##### PHUONG N Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Willem 28 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Clean and staff! ##### Willem Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrienne 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a great way to experience an “authentic” ryokan - it has bathroom facilities but otherwise it’s futon, tatami matting and green tea. But the best feature by far was the ‘ofuro’ the delightful hot bath. A booking gets a guest 50 minutes of calm relaxation. Remember that there are no meals but there are plenty of small local places for dinner and breakfast. Just delightful! ##### Adrienne Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sophie 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Confortable. Le Onsen très bien!!! Malheureusement, il y avait un odeur terrible d’égout dans la chambre. Odeur provenant de la salle de bain ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bd3bf6a6-c3d5-446a-983b-21b850d8d457-1761020195836.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d3105c43-627e-4e5b-a6fd-b5c274094520-1761020193424.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/15e26952-d6e4-4e58-aca2-d9e53eb93673-1761020195230.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sophie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Margaret 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The location is in a quiet area with lots of restaurants (though be aware many close by 6 pm). Room is a good size, but there is no elevator and stairs to the second floor are quite steep - something to be aware of if you have mobility issues. Matress on tatami floor was very firm, but comforter is warm and fluffy. There is no way to darken the windows, though, so light comes in throughout the night from a neighbouring sign, and it only gets brighter as the dawn starts. There is also minimal/no sound priifing - we could hear every whisper in the hall, every door opening and clicking shut, and music from another room throughout the evening. Private onsen time is nice, and the water is quite hot but comfortable (for us). The bathing area is clean. The massage chairs were nice to use after soaking in the onsen. ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Femke 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Leuk en behulpzaam personeel, locatie dicht bij Nara park en leuke winkels/restaurantjes. Lekkere privé onsen! ##### Femke Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a great place to stay. Having a private bathing time in the onsen was so great. The beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly. It was the perfect location for access to historical sites. There was a lot of great shopping nearby as well. ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AJ 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities About fifteen minutes walk from a Kintentsu station. Lots of shopping and food option between to two. Walkable to and from Nara Park as well. Private bath time built into the reservation. It's slots of 40 minutes. Checking in earlier rather than later gets you more options to choose from. ##### AJ Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria 11 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful traditional ryokan hotel, is small and so charming , it has an onsdn that you can use privately so its tattoo friendly ! They give you traditioanl pjs (yukata) and that makes it so special! The staff is really friendly and held our bags for a day before our train at nighy. Close to the deer park and lots of temples ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ken 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Get little spot to unwind from a day of walking.
