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.

This ryokan is very charming and also very close to the tourist areas, but in the narrow side streets so it is quite quiet. I really enjoyed this place. I strongly recommend!

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

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!

Traditional style Inn

Traditional style ryokan for a reasonable price. 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.

It was super easy to walk to from the metro. The area was quiet, peaceful, and there was a great area for shopping and eating. Nara park was not far. The ryokan was incredible and the temperature was perfect. The rooms were super clean and I love that they provided amenities.
