Shin Hosono Station × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan - 2Page Number

I was able to stay at a great price by making a last-minute Reservation the day before. It’s conveniently located near the station and faces the shopping street. The room was clean, and I had a comfortable stay. Since I stayed on Sunday, many restaurants were closed, which was a bit disappointing. Byodoin Temple is within walking distance. If I have the chance, I would like to stay at this Hotel again.

The staff are wonderful. Guidance and help with any issues were handled smoothly, and everyone was full of kindness. I could really feel their pride in their work. The property was clean, and the breakfast was excellent! I’ve come to love Nara!! Next time, I’d like to stay a little longer. Thank you very much.

Given the price, I didn’t expect much, but it was wonderful. The location is near Kintetsu Nara Station and very convenient for convenience stores, restaurants, and sightseeing (with a nearby bus stop). The bed and Room were spacious and more than sufficient. Whenever we needed help, pressing the staff button brought prompt, efficient, and friendly assistance. Breakfast had a carefully selected variety of items and was enough for us. Considering the location, this quality at this price is simply excellent. I will stay here again when I visit Nara. Thank you very much.

My spouse and I stayed from Sunday to Monday. The front desk staff were pleasant, and while the baths are not brand-new, we were very satisfied with the sauna and walking pool. I also joined a löyly event in the sauna for the first time. We chose the dinner buffet, which offered a good variety of dishes, all tasty, and my wife especially enjoyed the desserts. The parking fee was reasonable, and on Monday we were able to leave our car parked while we took a walk around the nearby Heijō Palace Site. We would love to stay again if we have the chance.

The Room was small, but it was more than enough for one person. It was my first solo trip in a while, and I had a very pleasant stay. The Room was thoroughly cleaned and felt very comfortable. Check-in went smoothly, and the staff explained everything carefully. They had a memory foam pillow at the exact same height as the one I use at home, so I slept very well. Breakfast was also delicious. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

This was my first stay, and I was very satisfied with the outstanding value for money. Above all, I was surprised that a Hotel in this price range offers access to a rooftop terrace bar, and it was wonderful to relax while taking in the views of Nara’s cityscape. The room was clean and well equipped, and the staff were polite and attentive, making for a very comfortable stay. The location is also convenient and ideal as a base for sightseeing, and I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit Nara.

We had been looking forward to our stay even before arriving. We stayed in a Room with a slide, and the kids were thrilled (an early elementary schooler and a 3-year-old). The Facility offerings were also excellent, so we had no trouble at all even with children (including a space where kids can play). They also organized a festival event inside the Hotel during our visit, and we joined that as well. All the staff were kind, and we felt their hospitality everywhere. The view from the rooftop terrace was wonderful (morning is recommended). During dinner, there was live music, and they included songs that children would enjoy, so it never got boring. Highly recommended for families with children. Of course, I think it would be a very satisfying stay for adults only as well. We will definitely return. Thank you very much for everything.

This was my first stay. The Room was comfortable, and the food was delicious. There was a stargazing and night view watching program, and I joined it. Unfortunately, it was cloudy so we could hardly see any stars, but we were able to enjoy the night view of Nara. If I have the opportunity, I would like to stay again.

Conveniently located about a 3-minute walk from the station, I stayed for one night at a very reasonable price. I was able to use the parking lot, and there were also nearby parking options if you arrived early (they were full by evening). This time I wanted to eat at the nearby Matsuya (since there isn’t one near where I live), so I didn’t use the breakfast service. Overall, everything was clean, it wasn’t noisy, and I had a comfortable stay. However, the only disappointing point was that the entrance vestibule didn’t seem to be well cleaned. Since the entrance is the face of the Hotel, it’s a shame when cleaning isn’t thorough there.

The front desk staff were very kind and helpful, and we had a wonderful stay. It was a three-generation trip with my daughter and grandchild, and it became a great memory. We are truly grateful—thank you very much.

The parking lot was spacious and easy to park in. The breakfast bread was freshly baked, and even during a Multiple Night Stay, we were happy to have several different types of bread each day. If sparkling water had been available with the evening welcome drink, it might have been even more enjoyable. Since the room access uses a PIN code, it was convenient not having to carry a card or key around.

I stayed for two nights for a trip to Nara. It was very convenient with direct access from JR Nara Station. My Room was on the 9th floor, with a great view, and I had a comfortable stay. All the staff were very kind and always greeted me with a smile, which made me very happy. When I asked how to get to sightseeing spots, a Hotel in Kyoto told me to just check Google Maps and didn’t help much, but every staff member here explained things kindly and clearly. It was more convenient and faster than what I found online, so it really helped. The large public bath felt crowded all the time because the changing area is small and there aren’t many lockers. It was helpful that I could check how crowded it was via QR code. I also appreciated the free ice cream. The breakfast buffet was nice because there were different items on the first and second day. They also stored my luggage both before check-in and after check-out, which was a big help. I would like to stay here again when I visit Nara.

Even though I arrived much later than the check-in time, the staff kindly accommodated me. I also enjoyed the wide variety of baths! Just one thing: many guests were barefoot inside the building, which I understand since it’s an Onsen, but if possible, it would be nice to have Japanese-style indoor footwear available (the disposable slippers in the Room were a bit small and hard to walk in), so those who want to wear them would have that option. Sorry for such a luxury request. I’m grateful to the kind front desk staff and to everyone on the team.

On our way back from a trip to Nara, we stopped by Uji, where we have relatives. It was our first time staying overnight in Uji, and we looked forward to this Accommodation near the Uji River. The staff were very kind, even allowing us to park our relatives’ car—thank you very much. The bath was wonderful, and we could also see the Uji River, so we were able to relax at a leisurely pace. We heard that the property is scheduled for rebuilding and are looking forward to it. Thanks to this stay, we were able to fully enjoy Uji.

We stayed here with our children while sightseeing in Nara. There were kid-friendly events such as a festival plaza, so we could enjoy the Ryokan rather than just spending time in our Room. The Onsen was simple but wonderfully warming, and we were very satisfied with the breakfast buffet, including the variety of dishes as well as drinks and desserts. The staff’s hospitality was also pleasant. Thank you very much.

I enjoyed watching the Omizutori ceremony at Todaiji Nigatsudo and had a pleasant stay with that feeling lingering. The room was functional and clean, with a spacious and relaxing bathroom. It is a rare and refreshing new accommodation in Nara.

The Hotel is located on lively Sanjo Street, close to JR Nara Station. Getting to Kintetsu Nara Station is also enjoyable, as you can walk through the shopping arcade and browse various shops. Kofuku-ji Temple and Nara Park are easy to find—just head east along Sanjo Street—making it a great base for sightseeing. The Hotel is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. With supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, it’s very convenient, and I would like to stay here again when visiting Nara.

I planned to go to Nara for a meal, and since I was there anyway, I stayed one night. The high ceiling and the curved vanity area made it feel more spacious than it actually was. It seemed almost fully booked and there were many families with children, but the Room was quiet and comfortable. The bathtub was also roomy. The staff were friendly and pleasant, and I’d like to come back again for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was delicious too, with a clean and well-kept buffet.

I stayed here during Golden Week! There were a lot of people around Nara Park, but the area around the Hotel felt like a quiet residential neighborhood, so I was able to relax in peace. I was a little disappointed that I had to close the curtain for privacy when using the open-air bath in the Room (though I understand it couldn’t be helped). The Room was spacious and very clean. Personally, I also loved how cute the coffee and tea cups were—it made me happy. I booked a plan with two meals included, and both were beautifully presented, with great taste and satisfying portions! I stopped by before check-in to leave my luggage, and they gave me a map of the area and explained recommended places in detail, including how long it would take from the Hotel. At check-in as well, the staff member who showed me to my Room told me about some famous shops—everyone’s thoughtfulness truly meant a lot to me. Thank you very much!!

Although I had booked a room without a specific type, they upgraded me to a twin Room. The Facility was clean, and I could also take a bath in the morning. Breakfast was more than sufficient; I gave it four stars, but as a Hotel it would deserve five—there was even yogurt and Yakult. Some places handle breakfast vouchers casually, but here the Hotel staff properly collected them and greeted me, which I felt was excellent service.
