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.

The staff here are absolutely phenomenal. When I dropped off my luggage earlier in the day, they gave me a cup of yuzu tea, a homemade map of the area, crackers for the deer, and made some personalized sightseeing recommendations. After I checked in later that evening, the staff gave me a tour of the facility and made more detailed recommendations about routes, transportation, etc., for my sightseeing plans the next day. The kaiseki dinners and washoku breakfasts were both top-notch. The rooms themselves were slightly dated, even by ryokan standards, but the excellent service from the staff more than made up for it. I will absolutely stay here again if in Nara.
