What a View!

They let me check-in a few hours earlier than their usual check-in time which is quite uncommon in Japan, but I did inform them I got a headache and was just going to wait it out in their lobby instead of leaving the hotel for some sight-seeing. Hotel is on a hill-side and all rooms have great view facing the city of Nara. Room itself was great and 5th floor has the best view. Breakfast and dinner was nice for the two night stay, and they didn't serve my the same food for both days which was considering, just like other onsen ryokan in Japan. They have free shuttle bus to Kintetsu Nara Station for check in (bus stop no.20), check out and sight-seeing during the stay, the bus will show up 15 minutes after you call them. If you want some peace and quiet and enjoy onsen and nice food, can give it a try.

Japanese traditions merged with modern life style

if you are looking for a Rykon it's a good one indeed. you can stay there and take a free ride with the hotel shuttle to few hundred meters away which is very close to many attractions. it's located in Nara Park and you can enjoy a nice panorama of the city and park. if it's the right season Sakura will be just by your window.

食事に問題あり

夕食の牛しゃぶと、その出汁でのリゾット、両方とも全く口に会いません。個性をだそうとしているようですが、もう止めた方がいいと思います。 また、朝食はすこし貧弱です。焼き魚は固くて、箸が折れそう。何時焼いたのでしょうか。
