This ryokan is close to Nara Koen where deers are and 30mins walk to Daibutsu. The room was just like a joke. It remains me uni student flats in Showa, small 4 tatami rooms and futon. In Japanese, futons need to be folded down into three and stored in the cupboard called Oshiire but the futon was placed by the window just like a bed. I was quite uncomfortable with this and folded it down to lean against that just like a sofa. The wall is paper thin as I was annoyed by next door guests who were chatting till 11pm. The bath was not real onsen. Despite it got negative comments, I enjoyed the big bathtub as it was hot and I could stretch myself. But sadly, a bit yuaka was flotiong on water surface. Overall, it was a good, rather funny experience. I guess this ryokan is for budget travelers.

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.

The property is outstanding and the staff are very willing to help if you are amenable to no chairs in the room and only sitting on the floor. Also the room has no shower, so you either must use shower during your private time or if you miss you time slot you have no choice but to use it during public time. For ladies two showers, so at worse you will share with one other person.

I really liked the location and the property. Quiet and clean. The staff I spoke with were helpful and thankfully they were able to speak English really well. They even explained the etiquette of bathing in the hot spring area and walked me through that process. The only thing I wish could’ve been different was being able to store my bag earlier in the day but it’s not a big deal as there are locker rentals at the station maybe 1/4-1/2 mile away. There is a private restroom in each room

A bit noisy but comfortable

Nara Ryokan was clean, comfortable, and convenient. We loved using the onsen during our private time, and we found the beds easy to sleep on. It was a little noisy since we could hear doors opening and closing in the rooms next to us all night, but aside from that it was a great place to stay! The location was great: easy waking to al the sights.

This Ryokan is located just a short walk to the major gardens and Shrines, and it's in the charming Nara town tradtional layout of buildings. It's all wonderful to get around on foot.
