The greeting we got on arrival was nothing but friendly. The lady who runs it doesn’t speak English, but understands little bits (we used Google translate for longer sentences). She’s such a lovely lady and very welcoming, showed us around the Ryokan and the facilities. The shower room is amazing with its hot bath! We loved staying in a traditional Japanese room with tatami flooring and the comfy futon beds, and the views from our window of the city was gorgeous! Definitely want to make a return visit and stay for longer :)
Staff was very kind and helpful. I felt very comfortable. It was good experience to live in the real Japanese traditional house.
The guesthouse has a good location between the JR station, the Kinketsu station and Nara’s park, and the house is a japanese traditional one with nice common rooms to rest and to cook. From the dormitories you don’t hear the noise from the road ( but you won’t escape the crickets when the sun is up!).
The rooms are beautiful and you get to experience a unique Japanese stay. The staff are amazing and very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is a nice traditional Japanese breakfast too. The rooftop is beautiful also. The hotel is nicely located to the park and the main sites.
Amazing Japanese house, nicely furnished. Great location to explore Nara, 5 mins walk to the middle of the town. You can park a large 7 seats MPV in front of the house for free.
one of the best experiences you can have when traveling japan, especially if you plan visiting Nora and would like to get to know the countryside. run by an amazing and warm-hearted couple. you can feel their heart and love for details/authenticity. I strongly recommend to order the japanese dinner and breakfast. after a long flight, I had the best sleep since a long time. hope I come back some day with by gf (thanks again for the gift!) and/or brother/sister.
Charming traditional house. We had a private room with bath, and it was just what we wanted in a simple Japanese style, and it had a small terrace. We could share the kitchen facilities with the main house where the dorm was.

Authentic Japanese hotel, tatami floors, yukatas, complimentary washing machines, complimentary ramen, ice cream and more.
Great spot to stay in Nara. Hotel was clean, room was fairly standard sizing for the Japanese hotels. Location was great, near to lots of good places to eat and withing walking distance to the Kintetsu railway line as well as the nature park and temples. We really enjoyed our stay in Nara, and can recommend the APA hotel as a great place to stay while you visit.
