Okay, needs updating.
Posted 10 Feb 2020 on HotelsThe photos looked amazing but in reality our room was dated and felt a bit unclean. The bathroom smelled of urine all night. Overall I felt this was much more traditional than anywhere else we stayed so I feel as though this may need to be taken with a grain of salt. They just need to spruce thungs up a bit.
The redeeming factor was the outdoor onsen, at night you have a view of the nearby Pagoda and it is spectacular.

I had assumed the included breakfast would be a cup of tea and a roll or something simple. Instead it was a multi-year traditional Japanese gourmet extravaganza. Absolutely stunning and delicious.
Western guests might want to bring an auxiliary backup towel, and adjust expectations about "cosy" bathrooms, but it is a perfectly workable compromise for a traditional ryokan and you'll want to spend more time in the multiple rooftop baths anyway which have plenty of space.
Already thinking of when I can go back!

Great location and welcome in Nara
Posted 7 Jul 2019 on HotelsPerfect spot, location location location and rooftop onsen! I stayed one night while doing motorcycle tour of Wakayama area. The hotel staff was wonderful, great check in with my name on the board and they provided easy covered parking. English was no problem. The hotel was easy to find and right outside Nara Park. The room was fine, great temperature. Wifi was free and worked well. The onsen was perfect for end of day. It is rainy season so no sunset, but when clear would be wonderful. Breakfast was superb, Japanese style. The charcoal grilled fish at your table was a notch above. Will be back
