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

The location is close to Sarusawa Pond, making it convenient for sightseeing. Naramachi is also nearby, so you can enjoy dining and shopping as well. The Hotel itself is not new, but it has everything you need, and the Room size feels just right. The staff were kind and courteous, and they also helped with recommendations for places to eat. I chose the plan with breakfast included. It was buffet-style, and everything was carefully prepared—delicious and enjoyable. I looked forward to breakfast every morning. I arrived by rental car, but there is no dedicated Hotel parking lot. You can park at a flat rate in the adjacent (Mitsui) coin parking lot, but if it’s full you’ll need to find another option yourself. I spent the mornings exploring within walking distance and drove farther out in the afternoon, then returned in the evening to park again. At that time of day, it seemed like day-trippers were leaving, so it worked out well for me. This is a Hotel I’d like to stay at again when I visit Nara.

This Accommodation is in an excellent location for sightseeing in Nara, so this was our second stay, this time to visit the Nara National Museum. From the moment we arrived, the parking guidance was very courteous, and the Room was spotless. The large public bath was also clean. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and had a very pleasant stay. After checking out, the staff member who first assisted us even came out of their way to see us off, which made both my husband and me truly happy. I think this is a wonderful Accommodation filled with warm hospitality and thoughtful care.

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 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.

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.

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.

The greenery from the Room was beautiful. On the way to Kasuga Taisha Shrine, seeing the river and small waterfalls was refreshing. The meals were just the right portion, and we enjoyed them along with the tableware. The bath temperature was perfect, and the scent of wood was soothing. Thanks to the thoughtful staff, we had a wonderful stay. We think it would be even more lovely during the autumn foliage season. Thank you very much.

This was my first time staying here. Because it is near an intersection, it was difficult to enter the Hotel parking lot. The facilities were comfortable. I thought the shaved ice ticket included in the Plan would be just a small sample, but it exceeded my expectations and was a great value.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The space and hospitality are impeccable. If you’re planning to stay in Nara, I highly recommend staying here at least once.

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.

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.

I stayed during the rainy season. The parking lot is a bit far, and the entrance is narrow, so I had to be careful. However, depending on the parking space, it was convenient for loading and unloading luggage. The first floor serves as an entrance area with a convenience store attached, which was very helpful for any last-minute needs. The reception counter is on the second floor, where breakfast is also served. Welcome drinks are available at certain times with a wide variety to choose from. Although I accidentally spilled some in the elevator while deciding what to pick, the staff quickly provided cleaning supplies and assisted me promptly. The breakfast area is small, so securing seats was challenging for families. However, it was great to enjoy local specialties like Nara's famous persimmon leaf sushi and Narazuke pickles. Even with small children in tow, we found the room very clean and comfortable. We stayed in a Room with a loft bed that allowed our family to relax comfortably. The location is very close to the station. We were able to park slightly earlier (with an additional fee) and go sightseeing by train conveniently. There are izakayas and stylish restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, so finding dinner options wasn’t an issue at all. Umbrella rentals were available as well; we borrowed one for dinner outings at night without worrying about dealing with wet umbrellas upon returning to our Room. Overall, staying here was an excellent experience! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

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 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!!
