The staff here is absolutely wonderful. They were so kind and helpful. We had one of the smaller rooms, but still way more spacious than something in Tokyo within our price range. The room and private bath were so beautiful. We ordered the Japanese dinner and breakfast and it is a must if you stay here! You’ll try foods authentic to Nara specifically and the amount you receive is more than plenty. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone even for just one night, as that is what we did to relax in the middle of our busy trip.

We loved the proximity to Nara Park and feeding the deer. The rooms and food was amazing. Great onsen, and of course playing with the deer was best for kids.

This is a nice small boutique hotel with an attentive staff. My family of three, which included my wife and our young adult daughter, had been staying in more western-style hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto with 3 beds. Because of that, I was a little surprised when we arrived here and discovered a tatami room with a table and chairs and no beds or futons. What the staff explained is that when we wished to sleep we should notify them and they would come and remove the table and put down the futons. The process worked well but it did take some getting used to. They do have a very nice breakfast and onsite onsen.
