Goi Station × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

I had been wanting to try a soy sauce pressing experience for a long time, so I came to visit. I joined casually, but the deeply moving stories you shared left a strong impression on me. Enjoying freshly pressed soy sauce with grilled kuzumochi was exceptionally delicious. I was also happy that there was a lounge where we could freely enjoy wine and coffee. The wine provided happened to be from one of my favorite wineries, which made me even happier. The meal was wonderful—each ingredient’s flavor really stood out, and everything was delicious. There were so many ways to enjoy the soy sauce that my excitement never faded. The Room was very clean and comfortable. All of the staff were incredibly kind, and I’m truly grateful for your hospitality. It was a truly luxurious time for both mind and body. Every time we enjoy the soy sauces we bought as souvenirs, we’re reminded of Maruto Soy Sauce, and my husband and I still talk about how much fun it was whenever it comes up. We’ll be back again.

Above all, the Horyu-ji tour exclusively for guests was outstanding. After a delicious breakfast, we explored Horyu-ji with a professional storyteller-guide who offers a different experience every day of the year—enjoyable for everyone from first-timers to true enthusiasts. With Nara poised for a boom as it becomes a candidate for World Cultural Heritage status, this is an Accommodation I’d love to visit again and again in different seasons while it’s still quiet.

When you stay at this Hotel, you can use the adjacent Nara Kenko Land for two days: the day of your stay and the following day. On the night I stayed, I couldn’t fall asleep, so I spent time in the relaxation lounge with manga until 1:00 a.m. It was great that I could read manga late at night and, when I got sleepy, take the elevator back to my Room—it was so close and convenient. I also really enjoyed the baths and sauna!

The road in front of the Accommodation is one-way (see map), but motorcycles are exempt. Also, you may be able to park a motorcycle under the eaves/garage (not guaranteed—please inquire). Alcohol is available from a vending machine. There’s also a convenience store within walking distance, and a delicious onigiri shop about 100 m away. A perfect Accommodation for bike touring. The shower/bath and toilets are shared, but they were very comfortable. Excellent value for money. A must-repeat stay when visiting Kashihara Shrine.

On my previous trip I stayed here with friends, but this time I had the pleasure of staying with my elderly mother to celebrate her 88th birthday. Because she has difficulty walking, I was a little worried about accessibility, but you kindly assisted us in every situation and we were able to stay comfortably. Although it rained unfortunately, we were able to relax and talk in our Room, and also enjoy a pottery painting experience, making it a truly happy time. The meals were also very delicious. Not only the Akaushi beef and fish, but the Yamato vegetables were wonderful as well. We could also feel the scenery of Nara through the tableware, and the seasonal hydrangeas painted on it delighted us visually too. On our way to the dining area, we found a large snail. Seeing my mother smile happily like a child left a strong impression on me, and it made me realize again that choosing Ubusuna no Sato for this trip was the right decision. Thank you very much for giving us such a happy time. I’m already looking forward to receiving the plate we painted.

An annual trip with friends. We stayed here after exploring Imaicho. After arriving, we enjoyed beer and wine in the lounge, and at the dinner buffet there was a wide variety of dishes, including local specialties made with regional ingredients—and thanks to the all-inclusive plan, alcohol was unlimited as well. Every staff member was polite, pleasant, and helpful. After that, we took our time in the Onsen, enjoyed the sauna, and then had cocktails at the night lounge. The breakfast buffet also impressed us with its extensive selection. For this price, the variety is truly outstanding. The Room had a modern Japanese style with plenty of space to relax, which was wonderful. My friend said it was an excellent Hotel and was very happy. Thank you very much.

We would be happy to stay here again next time.

The property was wonderful, with the hostess and all the staff being attentive and considerate. We are truly grateful for accommodating our unreasonable requests. The room and hallway were well-maintained, and the garden exuded a dignified beauty. Thank you for taking care of us.

Our family of four stayed at RITA Gosho-machi in the Road Linden Room. The calm character of this traditional townhouse and the refined modern design are beautifully balanced, and from the moment we stepped inside, we could forget the rush of everyday life and truly relax. It’s rare to find an Accommodation—and a townscape—that lets you enjoy such a special time. Spending quiet moments in the room with a fountain pen felt wonderfully atmospheric and more calming than I expected. Also, just a short walk away, Gosho Takara-yu was incredibly cool—a retro public bathhouse with great vibes. It was simply the best! The meal (at Western-style restaurant Kemuri) made excellent use of local ingredients and was genuinely delicious. We were deeply impressed by the warm hospitality from all staff, their careful explanations, and outstanding service in every respect—no wonder it has such high ratings. Highly recommended. We’d love to visit again in another season. Thank you very much!

This was a very thoughtfully designed Accommodation. The guest building was wonderful. The meals were delicious (both breakfast and dinner). Using the public bath was fun. The staff member who assisted us at check-in was also very pleasant. I would like to stay here again when I visit Nara.

The room design was excellent, and the cute flowers placed here and there added a warm touch. The food was outstanding, and we enjoyed it at our own pace with in-room dining. The staff who served us were pleasant, and all other staff members were attentive, leaving no room for any unpleasant experiences. We would definitely love to stay again!

I stayed for a 4-night Multiple Night Stay to take my elderly mother, who has mobility issues, to the Kansai Expo from Saitama. The appearance is typical of this type of Hotel, but the covered parking made it very convenient for loading and unloading luggage and assisting my mother even in bad weather. The Room and bathroom were spacious, and although it was a No Meals Included stay, having a microwave provided added comfort. It was slightly disappointing that the air conditioning was weak and the jacuzzi seemed out of order, but considering the price, it was acceptable. As long as you don't mind the surrounding Hotel area, its proximity to highway entrances and city areas makes it a great choice.
