We loved the proximity to Nara Park and feeding the deer. The rooms and food was amazing. Great onsen, and of course playing with the deer was best for kids.

This is a nice small boutique hotel with an attentive staff. My family of three, which included my wife and our young adult daughter, had been staying in more western-style hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto with 3 beds. Because of that, I was a little surprised when we arrived here and discovered a tatami room with a table and chairs and no beds or futons. What the staff explained is that when we wished to sleep we should notify them and they would come and remove the table and put down the futons. The process worked well but it did take some getting used to. They do have a very nice breakfast and onsite onsen.
