3日間の旅を支えてくれた最高の宿
接客がとても丁寧で、施設だけじゃなく従業員の方々からも奈良の良さを感じさせるような場所でした。周辺も居酒屋やコンビニが近いけれど静かな所なので外からの音を気にする事はないです。普段は外国の方が多いようなので是非日本の方々にも訪れてみてほしいです。

The host was so very kind and thoughtful and the japanese breakfast in the garden was simply amazing. The room also was very cozy with a lovely view of the garden.

Fabuleux
Accueil fabuleux par une dame adorable parlant quelques mots d'anglais. Petits cadeaux de bienvenue, boissons dans le frigo, café, thé... Petit déjeuner excellent, on peut laisser ses bagages en gardiennage. Auberge traditionnelle, très bien placée et au calme. Un petit paradis chez une dame en or.

Amazing Ryokan in a great location with a wonderful host
This was a wonderful Ryokan in a great location, only a ~6 minute walk from Kintetsu-Nara station. Furthermore, the host (Noriko) was absolutely wonderful. She was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. As for food, we ordered a traditional Japanese breakfast which was fantastic. When we return to Japan we plan on revisiting Tsubakiso and Noriko because we also only scratched the surface of exploring Nara and its surrounds.
I really don't have anything negative to say. We had such a great experience that we plan on revisiting when we next visit Japan.
