Very helpful. Most staff knew enough English to get along. We stayed in the annex, where we had the experience of a traditional Japanese inn with delicious Japanese dinners and breakfasts. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin 9 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wakasa Bettei surprised me as one of my favorite hotels in my 8-day Japan trip. I think it came down to the fact that the premises were cozy and new, the location was serene and close to Todaiji, and the staff were just so friendly. Absolutely gorgeous meals for dinner kaiseki and Japanese-style breakfast too. There's a goofy charm in having a violinist serenade us during dinner, and offering to take photos of us in our ukatas smiling next to their mascot. Both public bath options they offered were so clean and relaxing and not at all crowded. I would not hestitate to stay here again. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle 2 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staying at this ryokan was the absolute highlight of our 10-day trip to Japan! We stayed in Room 303 and loved having our own private mineral soaking tub out on the deck plus the public onsen. Everything about this place was clean, comfortable, and memorable. The private kaiseki dinner was beautiful, delicious, and very filling—an experience not to be missed! We were shocked after checking in to be offered a local guide to explore Nara the following day compliments of Wakasa Bettei. She spent half a day with us—exploring gardens, temples and sanctuaries, while providing stories and local history. A day we will never forget. Overall, our stay was phenomenal! Do not hesitate another minute to book. ##### Danielle Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Viola 26 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I wanted to experience staying at a traditional ryokan on my first Japan trip, so chose this ryokan after doing much research. We stayed in room 301 which had a private open air onsen. The bath and separate shower were both very clean, the Shiseido shampoo and conditioner provided were wonderful, and the private onsen divine. I used it several times during my one night stay. The water was very warm and stayed warm. We had a kaiseki dinner and breakfast. The presentation was absolutely stunning, and the food varied and delicious. But the best part about this ryokan was the staff. From the receptionist who provided me restaurant recommendations for lunch to the staff who served us our meals, and the staff who helped book us a massage, they could not have been friendlier, more welcoming or more gracious. I happened to mention in an earlier conversation that we were celebrating a college graduation on this trip, and to our surprise they brought us a special dessert with sparklers at the end of our meal, which was so lovely. The ratings on various sites for this ryokan differed, but I give it 4 stars! Thank you to the staff for a truly wonderful experience! ##### Viola Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Charlene 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff are fabulous, very attentive and customer focused. We had an outdoor private bath which was wonderful and highly recommended. Our one complaint is the beds (futon) they were very thin and hard. We did not sleep well. ##### Charlene Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renji 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities また奈良に来た時お世話になります ##### Renji Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kenenna 7 May 2025 ##### Kenenna Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa 3 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was such a unique experience. I enjoyed my stay and LOVED the in-room onsen tub. I only wish there was a larger safe in the room. It was on the smaller side, so I couldn’t fit my laptop in it. ##### Melissa Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanne 23 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Herlig hotell Et stilfullt, velholdt hotell/ryokan med gode badefasiliteter og nydelig mat. Vi bodde på et tradisjonelt japansk rom og sov på tatami matte. Tross litt hard seng sov vi godt. Spiste både tradisjonell middag og frokost, og rettene var mange, forseggjorte og lekre. Et veldig hyggelig personale ga oppholdet det lille ekstra. Anbefales! ##### Hanne Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana Belén 4 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Limpio.
