Maioka Station × Smoke-Free AccommodationHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

Thank you very much for your hospitality. We had a wonderful time. We took a morning bath and were able to relax.

This was my first time staying at a Hotel without on-site staff, and when I called because I was confused about a few things, you were extremely kind and helpful despite my misunderstanding. Thank you very much.

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.

We stayed in a sunny corner Room with a great view, and thanks to the nice weather we had a wonderfully refreshing time. The night view was perfect as well. The meals were outstanding—we enjoyed fresh duck and boar with no odor at all, delicately seasoned and elegant in flavor. Breakfast also came with many small side dishes, so satisfying that you’ll want seconds of rice; I recommend the plan with both dinner and breakfast included. It seems to be an older building, but once inside it is kept very clean, with no dustiness at all. Everything is well maintained and thoroughly cleaned. The proprietress was also very kind, and I would love to see her again. If you’re sightseeing around Nara Station it may feel a bit far, but the area around this Ryokan offers wonderful views from Mt. Ikoma and lets you enjoy a different side of Nara’s scenery, so I highly recommend it.

Although it was a No Meals Included stay, we stayed for two nights as a parent and child on the Standard Japanese-Style Room Plan. It is located on a hill with great views. The Japanese-style room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed. However, the only downside was that we couldn’t adjust the shower temperature well in the bathroom—it would sometimes get too hot or too lukewarm. Perhaps because there were few guests, it was very quiet from night until morning, and we were able to relax. The parking lot was also large and easy to use. If we have a chance to stay in the Ikoma area again, we would like to try it with meals included next time. Thank you very much.

We stayed with our dog. Even though he must have been tired from the long trip, as soon as we arrived at the traditional house he happily ran around the hallway and quickly made himself at home. Being able to sleep in the same space as our dog was very reassuring for us as owners. They also provided food bowls and even additive-free treats, and we really appreciated the thoughtful attention for guests traveling with dogs. Our dog doesn’t usually eat many treats, but he seemed to love these and happily munched them up! There was also a dedicated waste bin for pets, so disposing of trash was never an issue. The traditional Japanese atmosphere unique to an old house was wonderful, and the living room was a very relaxing space. Watching our dog stretch out and enjoy himself, we were able to slowly recover from travel fatigue as well. It was a very comfortable Accommodation where you can stay with your dog with peace of mind.

I stayed here after watching a video introduced by a YouTuber. Since it was during the Expo period and prices in the city center had surged, I chose this Accommodation a little farther out. The staff were kind and taught me various things about the town. It was a No Meals Included Plan, but I paid to visit Ebisu-yu. As someone who loves public baths, Ebisu-yu had Showa-era pop songs playing and the atmosphere was fantastic! I grabbed breakfast at a convenience store. In the Room I stayed in, the shower was shared with other guests. There is a women’s shower on the second floor, and while it can be locked from inside, if no one is using it, honestly anyone could enter. That made me feel a bit uneasy about security. The toilet area in the Room has a sink and mirror, but because the walls are dark and the lighting is like a spotlight, it wasn’t suitable for doing makeup. The price is reasonable, so I think these issues are within an acceptable range. If I stay again next time, I’d like to book an entire building rental.

This time, I met a friend in Tsuruhashi, but recently, Hotel prices have become too high, making it difficult for Japanese people to find places to stay in their own country. Tears... However, I discovered a great hostel in Imazato. I think it was 5,500 yen for a twin single-use room. It takes about 8 minutes from the station to arrive. It feels a bit small, but the owner's attention to detail makes it surprisingly great! Considering the price, it's really good. The room is also kept clean, and I will definitely stay here again next time.

I stayed for one night. It is a family-run accommodation with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The room was 4.5 tatami mats in size, which was sufficient for a solo traveler. The bathroom was well-equipped with amenities, including an exfoliating towel, which was a thoughtful touch. It’s a relaxing and comfortable place that I highly recommend.

I stayed here with my small child for an exam. It was my first time using a private accommodation, but the Room was very spacious and clean, with a kitchen that made it suitable for long-term stays. The neighborhood was quiet, parking nearby cost 500 yen for 24 hours, and we enjoyed a free breakfast at a café with the morning ticket. The stylish sandwich plate they served was delicious. There were supermarkets and drugstores just a few minutes away. Above all, the Room was more spacious than a Business Hotel, allowing us to relax comfortably! I would love to stay here again if I have another opportunity!

I stayed one night in a single Room. I was feeling anxious about my stay, but when I spoke with the staff at check-in, they kindly listened and helped me right away. It really put me at ease and allowed me to focus on what I needed to do. It was a huge help—thank you so much again. Everyone was very kind to me, and thanks to that, I achieved a good result. The Room was quiet and relaxing, and the air conditioner had already cooled the Room well when I entered, which felt great. It did feel a bit old, but it was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I would definitely like to stay again next time.

The room was small, but it was perfect for resting my tired body after visiting Universal Studios. The amenities were plentiful, and I loved the Hotel’s atmosphere. Everyone had wonderful smiles, and the service was excellent. I could really feel all the thoughtful ideas and efforts made for guests in the bath area and dining to help avoid crowds as much as possible. The Onsen water was especially great. I had been looking forward to the welcome drink, but since I checked in after 9:00 p.m., I thought I had missed it—however, they kindly told me “It’s still okay,” and I was happy to receive it just in time. I bought dinner at the Seven-Eleven next door and enjoyed it slowly in the Hotel lounge (microwave available). Thank you for taking care of me for one night and two days. I would love to stay again if I have another chance.
