All the employees were calm and I felt like most of them noticed. The room felt old, but the plumbing was probably renovated and was clean, so there was no particular inconvenience. Best of all, it's in a great location, allowing you to visit many sightseeing spots on foot. Kofukuji Temple is really close, and when I went there it was under renovation, but I could see the five-storied pagoda right in front of me from the rooftop. There was also a deer in front of the inn, which made the child very happy. I wish the parking lot was empty, but I was able to park before check-in and it was free for 24 hours after I entered, so I was able to stay parked and do some sightseeing the next day. The parking lot was about a 3 minute walk from the inn for adults. The rice was very delicious, with many elaborate dishes.

It's a yukata.There is no water in the room (there is hot water in a pot).Parking is convenient.Last time I was able to use a private bath, which was great.This time, I used the women's bathhouse due to time constraints.Half of the washing area was clogged and the shower was piling up on the floor, which was scary.The other half of the washrooms are so close to the bathtub that the shower that is being used goes into the bathtub and splashes onto the person taking a bath. Filthy.The changing area is small, hot, and there aren't enough baskets.I don't think this is an inn where you go to enjoy a bath.The staff are pleasant.

As the name of the inn suggests, it is right next to Sarusawa Pond, and we drove there, and you can park your car in the contracted parking lot 24 hours a day, so it's convenient for sightseeing around the area before check-in or after check-out. Nara Park and Todaiji Temple are also within walking distance.This time I used a room with a semi-open-air bath. It was a very clean room, and I was able to take a relaxing bath in the cypress bath, with the nice scent of cypress, and enjoy the view of Sarusawa Pond.Dinner was plentiful, from appetizers to sweets. Everything was delicious. One thing I was disappointed with was that the small sweetfish tempura was a little oily.The breakfast was just the right amount, and the pot-cooked rice was glossy and delicious.The facility was very clean, the staff at the front desk and the restaurant were very responsive, and I was impressed by everyone's hospitality.I really liked it. I would like to use it again.

I stayed here while sightseeing in Nara Park.In the plan, there is a private bath♨️, but since it is not a time reservation, I was not able to take a bath.Also, the dinner was not a high-quality meal, and the room did not have a towel rack, and the TV was small and hard to watch.It was a disappointing stay considering the high price.No repeats.
