We had a wonderful stay at Nazuna. Everything is so well thought out, the staff are all very friendly and detailed, and the food was excellent. We felt so welcomed from the moment we walked through the doors. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who would like to experience a traditional stay with traditional food.
We stayed in a room with our own private onsen and garden. It’s so beautiful. The staff are amazing. Extremely helpful and top notch service.

We were blown away by how warm and welcoming Kanako, Haruka and Misaki were from the moment we stepped into the property to the moment we left in our cab. Their level of thoughtfulness was beyond exceptional and gave you a sense of being in a home away from home - I believe this is what made our stay a very memorable one.
Our room was very clean with super comfortable beds (had the best sleep of my trip here), a very well-stocked minibar (including curated sake and teas) as well as amazing facilities (including the Shigaraki bath that overlooked the bird bath in the in-room garden). The property was also in a quiet residential area (recommend taking a cab here or reaching out to the property to seek the best route for getting there via public transport) that was a short walk to Nijo Castle and also within walkable distance to Nishiki Market. Our taste buds were also blesed by the Irori breakfast and Sukiyaki dinner where fresh ingredients were cooked before you.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend staying here for at least two nights so you can not only enjoy the property and the food but also the familial warmth from the staff.

Property is private yet accessible by public transport conveniently. Environment is quiet and staff is friendly and close to clients in a more or less family setting. In-room bath tub inside a small garden allows for private bathing for the family. The rental is value-for-money.

This is a very unique Japanese hotel. It's a high-end ryokan with open-air bath.
The service is hands down the best I've ever had. We asked the staff where to go and they gave us a post card in beautiful hand drawing with QR code pasted on it for all the places we should go to check Sakura trees and current events.
The breakfast is top-notch Japanese food. I cannot recommend this place enough if you want to experience Japan.

I highly recommend this place if you want to stay at a ryokan. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The rooms were beautiful and we loved the outside bath. We added breakfast and everything was so delicious. I really enjoyed one of the tea they served so I asked them about it and they gave everyone in my party some tea bags to go. Sadly, we only stayed for 1 night but I will definitely stay here again!
