I found it in a search for hot springs in Nara, so I decided to use it.Unfortunately, the yukata only came in sizes up to L.It was cramped for over 100km. Therefore, if you are a big person, we recommend bringing pajamas.Also, the bed and pillow didn't match up a bit, so I didn't sleep well. But hey,The pool is beautiful and the public bath is also beautiful.It was a ryokan that felt like it had been used with care. The employees gave me a nod every time I passed them, and I felt comfortable.I think I will use it again when sightseeing in Nara!thank you very much.
