Shin Hosono Station × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHighly-rated Hotel·Ryokan - 3Page Number

I stayed for one night, and the Room was clean and had a humidifier, so I was able to spend my time very comfortably. You can shop at the shopping street in front of the station, and since it’s about a 5–6 minute walk to the station, it wasn’t a hassle to go out to a convenience store if I needed anything else. Access to Todaiji Temple and the National Museum is also great—they’re within walking distance. As for the Facility amenities, both the bathroom shower and hair dryer are ReFa. The bath is not an Onsen, but the tub water level is preset automatically; it fills all the way up, and when I stretched out my tired legs and soaked in it, the water overflowed and my fatigue just melted away. The bath towels and face towels were thick and fluffy. The towel by the toilet is thin. Refrigerators in Business Hotels often don’t get very cold, but this one gets ice-cold. Beer tastes great as well. There were three cars parked in the parking lot, so I knew there were three other groups staying besides me. Inside, I could occasionally hear faint signs of others, but I never ran into anyone, and it didn’t feel noisy at all at night. There’s also a small bakery right next door that opens from 8:00 a.m., so I bought something there for breakfast. I usually make Reservations at Hotels with a front desk, but choosing this place was truly the right decision. From now on, whenever I go to Nara, I will definitely stay here again.

Completely satisfied. Location, food, Room, and hospitality. Especially the food.

A clean, reasonably priced Ryokan with kind service and a convenient location for sightseeing. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity.

I stayed here as an Accommodation while traveling from Shikoku to Honshu on my Super Cub. The host kindly told me there was a bit of space and that it was OK to park there, so I parked my bike in front of the entrance and was able to take my time sightseeing around town. The Accommodation had a spacious living area making great use of the loft, and the shared spaces were also very well equipped, so I could rest properly. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit Nara. Thank you very much.

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

Thank you for providing excellent service. The house was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped, which made our stay very satisfying. Fruits and bread were provided, allowing us to enjoy a delicious breakfast. Above all, the handwritten message added a warm and personal touch. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

Although it’s very close to Kintetsu Nara Station, it’s not noisy, and the location is convenient both for an early-morning walk in Nara Park and for going to Naramachi for dinner.\nHowever, I was a bit bothered by a musky scent—perhaps lingering from the previous guest.\nOther than that, the Room was spacious and very clean, so I would like to stay again.

It was a very clean and beautiful Hotel. It felt new, had no odors, and was cleaned with great care. There were not many guests on the day we stayed, but it was very quiet with no noise, so we could relax peacefully. It is conveniently located close to the station and sightseeing spots. The Japanese-made toothbrush provided was easy to use and very nice. Small touches like this show how much they care about their guests. I would love to stay here again when I travel to Nara. Thank you very much for your hospitality. We truly appreciate being able to make wonderful memories of our trip to Nara.

The Room was clean and conveniently located near the station, making it easy to get around.

I stayed for four nights. It’s close to the station, and you can easily walk to sightseeing spots, but because this is a small Accommodation in a quiet residential neighborhood, it’s also convenient to take a break by strolling around nearby areas like Naramachi and then coming back to rest. The owner was very kind, and every restaurant they recommended was stylish, unique, and delicious. I also loved spending relaxing time reading the books in the shared space. You can freely make and drink coffee in the kitchen as well, which makes you feel like you’re living in Nara. The Accommodation and my Room were thoroughly cleaned and spotless, and the bed was very comfortable. I’ll definitely stay here again when I’m in Nara!

This entire-home Accommodation stood out as one of the most impressive I’ve experienced, with exceptionally well-stocked kitchen supplies. Thanks to that, I was able to cook smoothly and without stress throughout my stay. The sauna and cold plunge facilities were also very comfortable and further enhanced the quality of the stay. When any issues arose, the shibi staff responded quickly, allowing me to feel at ease. The location is adjacent to Nara Park, but the surrounding roads are very narrow, so please take care when driving. Even considering access, it’s an Accommodation I would definitely like to visit again.

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.

It was my first time staying in a dormitory in a long while. The common areas were well equipped, and the shower rooms, beds, and toilets were all very clean. It’s also very conveniently located close to Kintetsu Nara Station. The staff were kind and welcoming, which I really appreciated. I’m looking forward to staying again. Thank you very much.

Both the town and the Accommodation were pleasantly quiet. Rather than a place to “enjoy the Accommodation,” it felt like a place where, through your stay, you become part of Nara. If you’re looking for an Accommodation for sightseeing in Nara, the location is convenient, so I’d like to stay here again next time. There’s nothing particularly notable about the amenities, but there was neither shortage nor excess, which I think is good.

It was a shared shower room rather than a bath, but since it was midsummer, it was comfortable. In winter, I might prefer to soak in a bathtub. The bedroom felt like a secret hideout, which I liked—though people who dislike small spaces might not. I stayed for three nights and had no inconveniences.

We stayed as a family of three. Since it was just us, we could relax without worrying about others, and the bath was so spacious that even stretching out my legs left plenty of room—it really helped us unwind. Even with our luggage spread out, it didn’t feel cramped at all. Having a washer-dryer was also very helpful.

The phone service was excellent, so I looked forward to my stay. The front desk service was also good, and the room was very clean and comfortable. I went to the Genji no Yu bath.

Both the front entrance key and the Room key are electronic locks, so I was able to complete everything from check-in to check-out without face-to-face contact, making my stay very comfortable—just like being at home. All the essentials were provided, and I appreciated the great value for money. Since it’s a loft, I think this Accommodation is ideal for guests who don’t mind going up and down stairs.

We stayed with our 2-year-old child. As I was pregnant, we chose this Hotel because it seemed conveniently located near Nara Park, and we booked a stay with meals included. Dinner was delicious and so generous that we couldn’t finish it. For our 2-year-old, they brought plain rice and furikake first, which made it easy to feed our child. Breakfast was a bit lighter and didn’t quite leave us completely full, but if you plan to eat while sightseeing, it felt just right. It may be a little too light for men. The complimentary water was very helpful. However, it was a large bottle (1.5L? 2L?), so we finished it at the Hotel. There is a 700-yen parking subsidy. Parking near the Hotel often costs over 1,000 yen, but we found a parking lot a little farther away where we could park for 700 yen and used that instead. The Hotel itself is somewhat old, but it was kept very clean, and the staff were kind and helpful.

We stayed with our 3-year-old child. We booked a twin room, and I think they may have moved the beds closer together. We really appreciated the thoughtful consideration. As others have mentioned, the bathroom area was very clean, and at breakfast the restaurant staff spoke kindly to our child. The front desk staff were also easy to talk to, and we could enjoy Nara-specific ingredients at breakfast (the egg-over-rice was especially delicious). It made for a very comfortable stay. If I had one wish, it would be even better if extra towels were available without an additional fee... but even so, it’s a hotel we’d love to stay at again.
