The staff went way and beyond to accommodate our needs- they were all super lovely and helpful. Especially the person who took us to our room and explained everything upon check-in and the person who ran after check-out to the bus stop to return our forgotten gloves! Wonderful onsen and traditional room - thank you

This was our first Ryokan experience. We picked it because of the reviews and it was as described. Not a modernised version but more traditional lending to the authenticity. Mieko-san is a great host, lovely, warm and most helpful. Also, her food is delicious! Would certainly recommend to those looking to stay in a Home-Ryokan.

The hotel is very nice including a superb view of the adjacent park. Very close to walk everywhere. Rooms are comfortable and shower has a very special design with a small external area. The reception and arrival services are outstanding. I only wish we could have stay longer.

Amazing stay and a highlight of our trip! The room with a private bath was luxurious yet simple, with an amazing view of Nara. The included seasonal dinner and breakfast was a wonderful way to try some new Japanese foods. The shuttle bus to and from Nara was a nice addition, and all staff were so kind and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience onsen and ryokan while in Japan!

My room was fabulous, with my own onsen bath, on the balcony overlooking Nara's ancient imperial palace site. The staff excelled themselves with their helpfulness, and dinner was fantastic, despite my lack of chopsticks skills!

Japanese breakfast and Kaiseki dinner were wonderful (if not included in your stay you should book dinner in advance). The traditional Japanese room was very beautiful, spacious and quiet. The hotel is very conveniently located close to Nara Park, a lively shopping mall and Kintetsu station. The whole staff was always very kind and helpful.
