Shin Hosono Station × Smoke-Free AccommodationHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan - 2Page Number

The front desk staff were kind, there was a welcome drink, a large public bath, and breakfast—especially the curry—was delicious. When I checked in, the front desk staff said, “It was hot outside, wasn’t it? Please enjoy plenty of cold drinks,” which made me very happy. I went ahead and made my next Reservation right away. I’m looking forward to staying again.

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 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!!

Thank you for having me for one night. I had made a Reservation for a standard Room, but since rain was forecast, I changed to a Room with an open-air Onsen bath on the day. Choosing to soak at a slightly cooler temperature while listening to the rain turned out to be exactly right. The Room was well designed and functional, and I didn’t feel any particular inconvenience. If I had to name one thing I personally wished for, it would be a Bluetooth speaker—I wanted to play a little music, though that may be asking too much. I arrived before noon, left my luggage, and had lunch at “Saryo Sese” on the property (I had requested seats in advance). It’s not cheap, but it was relaxed and enjoyable. After that, I spent some time walking around the city and then checked in properly. The evening champagne free-flow was also wonderfully unhurried, and the rice crackers served as snacks were delicious. For dinner we ate at one of the Hotel restaurants as well; each dish had its own character, and it paired nicely with drinks. If anything, I only wished there were a bar in the Hotel—this is an Accommodation with an atmosphere where having somewhere for “one more drink” would fit perfectly. The area around the Hotel is very quiet too, so even a small bar could really change how you spend your time here. That said, given the location, waking up early to stroll toward Todai-ji in the calm morning is also lovely—and perhaps that kind of stay suits this Accommodation and setting better than staying up late. The concierge team helped me greatly throughout my stay. Overall it was an excellent Accommodation, and I’d love to return when I visit Nara again.

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

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.

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.

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!

The open-air bath, Facility, and amenities were excellent! However, the check-in process was a bit confusing, and I still don't know the correct way to check in. It was a Hotel that makes me want to visit again.

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.

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.

Thank you very much for hosting our family of five. The Room was beautifully and tastefully furnished, kept very clean, and truly wonderful. We also enjoyed the fruit—it was delicious. The owner couple were extremely kind. We traveled with children and a grandmother, but we had no trouble at all and had a great time. Thank you so much for taking care of us even after check-out. Thanks to you, we had a wonderful trip to Nara. If you are staying in Nara, this Accommodation is highly recommended. Thank you again!

I used it for the first time. I got a little lost on the way to the Stays. After arriving, I was taken care of by a person with a wonderful smile, and we had a lively conversation. The overall atmosphere is calm. The meals were all delicious, filled with the chef's special touches. They also changed ingredients for allergies and confirmed before serving, which made me feel at ease. It is a Property I would like to visit again.

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.
