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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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 four, and the location was great—less than a 10-minute walk from Byodo-in Temple, with views of the gently flowing river. The owner was friendly and pleasant. The bath is shared, but since there are only two groups, it didn’t seem to be an issue. Along the nearby approach road there are tea shops lined up, and there are a reasonable number of places to eat dinner in the area. Above all, the price is very affordable. There is no parking at the Accommodation, but there is a coin-operated parking lot right next door. Since it has a maximum daily rate, even if you park in the evening and leave it until the next morning while visiting Byodo-in Temple, it won’t reach 2,000 yen.

I used this accommodation for work and travel in Kyoto (with my family of four). Since accommodations in Kyoto city were expensive, we decided to stay here as we were traveling by car. It takes about 30-40 minutes from Kyoto city, and there is an onsen facility nearby, along with restaurants and supermarkets, which was convenient. The hotel facilities were clean, the room was spacious and comfortable. The parking lot was also large and convenient. Breakfast was great as well. I think I will choose this place again next time. Thank you very much!

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!
