There is a big bathing area with 2 shower heads and an Onsen bath tub. Private usage will be limited within 40 min per session, then there are public hours. Nice water!

The property is outstanding and the staff are very willing to help if you are amenable to no chairs in the room and only sitting on the floor. Also the room has no shower, so you either must use shower during your private time or if you miss you time slot you have no choice but to use it during public time. For ladies two showers, so at worse you will share with one other person.

I really liked the location and the property. Quiet and clean. The staff I spoke with were helpful and thankfully they were able to speak English really well. They even explained the etiquette of bathing in the hot spring area and walked me through that process. The only thing I wish could’ve been different was being able to store my bag earlier in the day but it’s not a big deal as there are locker rentals at the station maybe 1/4-1/2 mile away. There is a private restroom in each room

A bit noisy but comfortable
Nara Ryokan was clean, comfortable, and convenient. We loved using the onsen during our private time, and we found the beds easy to sleep on. It was a little noisy since we could hear doors opening and closing in the rooms next to us all night, but aside from that it was a great place to stay! The location was great: easy waking to al the sights.

This Ryokan is located just a short walk to the major gardens and Shrines, and it's in the charming Nara town tradtional layout of buildings. It's all wonderful to get around on foot. The staff were most courteous and friendly, i felt like a welcome guest, and recommend this ryokan highly. Arigato gozaimas ta, Nara Ryokan!

The hotel is very nice as well as the surrounding area. My mom signed up for a time to use the onsen but the door was still lock and she didn't get to use it for her stay.
