My girlfriend and I had an unforgettable stay at Sarusawaike Yoshidaya in Nara. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was unmatched. We were greeted by Takada, who immediately offered us a beverage and made us feel genuinely welcome. He went above and beyond for us throughout our stay, including calling multiple local restaurants to secure us a dinner reservation at a spot loved by locals. Special shout-out to Takada for his warmth, professionalism, and incredible service. He truly made our stay exceptional. After spending two weeks in Japan and staying at five different hotels, this was the one that truly stood out. The private onsen experience was amazing, the rooms were spotless, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The sunset view of the pond from our room was absolutely unforgettable. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced customer service this thoughtful and attentive in my life. We’ll be recommending Sarusawaike Yoshidaya to anyone visiting Nara.

The hotel and room where nice and spacious, but we got a room with shared toilet which was not clear before booking. They made up for it offering a compensation, but still USD 200 for a shared toilet room sounds excessive

Great Japanese experience

Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Great location. Would stay here again. Breakfast was beautifully payed out. Very Japanese - some was yummy but not every dish was my taste. But that’s just different cultures. Overall a lovely stay.

일본의 호텔에서 기대하는 모든 것이 있는 호텔이었습니다. 직원들은 너무너무 친절했고, 조식도 정말 맛있었고 목욕탕도 정말 좋았습니다. 방은 좀 오래된 느낌이 있었지만 모든것이 깨끗하고 정돈되어있었어요. 다음에 꼭 다시 오고 싶어요~~
