"A beautiful spot in the forest, although just a bit far from the sights in Nara. The staff was lovely and the room quite comfortable, by Western standards for a Japanese room (although the futons were by far the hardest and most uncomfortable of the three ryokans we visited). The meals lived up to the reviews, beautifully presented true kaiseki."

10/10 Excellent
"Newer business hotel. Room sizes are exactly what to expect from a business hotel. Room is clean and hotel is quiet. Only negative is the onsite steak house. We ordered a tomahawk, among other things, and it was absolutely awful."
