Anyway, the hospitality of the host is wonderful. This is for people who want to spend a quiet time.It seems that inbound tourists are returning recently, so make your reservations early.

Our host very kindly picked us up from the station. A wonderful little Ryokan, very traditional. We chose to have dinner there and the meal was enormous and very tasty. Make sure you like sashimi, tempura and seafood. Beautiful presentation and our hosts were very friendly, polite and patient with our minimal Japanese. Sleeping was comfortable and warm too. I would definitely reccommend to anyone

This is my second stay here!When you come to Nara, we highly recommend that you take care of Mr. Katsuemon.There are many ruins near the hotel, which are convenient to explore by rental car. The furniture in the room you will stay in is wonderful and has the feel of a cultural property.It's great to feel the breeze on the veranda while looking at the garden and relaxing quietly.During my stay this time, the proprietress and the manager were very kind. It's a very comfortable accommodation.

Both the husband and the landlady were very nice people.Only one group per day is allowed, so you can have the garden all to yourself.The sightseeing around the area was also very fulfilling as we were guided by car.It was a time of healing.Recommended for solo female travelers.I want to go again!

Amazing place to stay in the Japanese countryside. The staff make you feel like the most appreciated guest in the world. Our feeling was that they really love what they do- with the warmest hospitality ever. Staying at this house is like a time travelling to another epoch of Japanese history (though with the comfort of modern world). The 懐石 (kaiseki) dinner is a must!
