สถานีคินเท็ตสึนารา × การบริการลูกค้าและการให้บริการที่ได้รับการประเมินสูงที่โรงแรม·เรียวกัง

First, the Accommodation’s location, surrounded by Nara’s famous sights, is outstanding. Next, the Room and bath Facilities are functional and very clean. The thoughtful design and maintenance, along with the staff’s attentive care, reflect high-quality management. Finally, the meals. They were high-quality in a traditional Nara-style Japanese cuisine, exactly as expected. It was a pity that Kofuku-ji Temple’s five-story pagoda—normally visible from the bath—was sadly covered by a temporary protective roof. Once the restoration work is finished, I’d like to visit again. Thank you very much.

From the tableware and restaurant to the interior design, guestroom styling, and amenities, the chef’s attention to detail is evident everywhere, creating a truly impressive sense of unity. During my stay, I felt completely removed from everyday life—almost as if I had wandered into another world. The exterior and lounge offer a charming Japanese-style space in a renovated traditional house, with large windows overlooking Mt. Wakakusa and deer strolling nearby. As you move further inside, the atmosphere shifts dramatically; the restaurant in particular feels like dining in a cave. The excitement of the open kitchen adds to the experience, and each dish is so beautifully presented you’ll want to admire it for ages. The menu carefully notes ingredients and producers, and for items from Nara Prefecture it even introduces their specific places of origin in detail. With every course, you can feel respect for both ingredients and makers—and the chef’s passion comes through clearly. Even familiar ingredients reveal new flavors and appeal, offering delightful surprises. Yet nothing feels gimmicky; instead there’s a comforting familiarity that strikes an exquisite balance, making every dish thoroughly enjoyable. Including breakfast the next morning and the overall Accommodation experience, it was a stay I won’t forget. It seems possible to visit just for the restaurant as well, but I strongly recommend staying overnight too so you can fully immerse yourself in this auberge’s unique world.

To reach the second-floor area, we had to use a narrow, steep box staircase, so I felt that it might be difficult to stay here if my legs or knees were not in good shape—but it was an interesting experience overall. The food and drinks were delicious, and the staff’s warm, hospitable service was very pleasant.

Because our previous stay was wonderful, we stayed again to celebrate my son’s high school entrance, together with my parents. The food was also excellent, and my parents and son were very happy. My parents liked it so much that they said they would like to stay at this Hotel whenever they visit Nara. We are planning to visit again around autumn. Thank you in advance.

Overall, we had a very comfortable stay. Above all, the location was excellent. It also felt a bit more reasonably priced compared to other areas. The meals were delicious, and the room was comfortable. 　 The 24-hour self-serve drink bar actually had some snacks as well—I ended up having quite a lot. Thank you very much. 　 This is now one of the Ryokan I’d love to visit again!

The location was excellent, and all the staff were very courteous and helpful. In the lobby, there was a map with a list of recommended restaurants from the Hotel, and we enjoyed a delicious dinner at one of them. Thank you for your hospitality.

This Accommodation made us feel warmly welcomed in every detail, and we were able to spend a relaxing, luxurious time. The meals offered a wide variety of dishes and were truly delicious. The private dining room also had a wonderful view of the city and cherry blossoms. We were completely satisfied with the Room and the baths.

On the first day, we stayed at a farm-stay Accommodation in Asuka Village, and on the second day we stayed here at Obana’s Hotel, enjoying a stroll around Naramachi and Nara Park. From Kintetsu Nara Station, you can take your time on the way to the Hotel—looking at the shopping streets and passing Sarusawa Pond on your left. The coffee in the café corner was delicious. Since we had an early morning, we chose a no-breakfast Plan, and bread and salad from a convenience store made for a great breakfast. One small thing: the unit bath bathtub was compact, so it was a little hard to fully relax. However, considering the price for single use at Hotels around Nara Station that day, it was excellent value for money—so that may be within an acceptable range.

I stayed in late April. The accommodation is in an excellent location right next to Sarusawa Pond, and during a morning walk, I saw deer quietly standing by, exuding a divine presence. Although my room this time was reasonably priced and did not have a view of the pond, the location was so wonderful that I would love to stay in a room with a pond view next time. The female staff at the front desk were very kind and shared local recommendations that only residents might know about, hidden spots to encounter deer, and information about wisteria flowers that were in full bloom. All the staff were attentive and pleasant, making my stay truly heartwarming. While the building shows some signs of age, it is well-maintained with a calm atmosphere. More than anything else, the warm hospitality of the staff left a lasting impression and contributed greatly to its comfort. Both dinner and breakfast featured carefully prepared seasonal dishes that were just right for our girls' trip—everything was delicious. I especially appreciated having Nara's signature tea porridge for breakfast. Afterward, enjoying coffee and chocolates in the lounge while reading books about Heijo Palace made for a peaceful moment. This accommodation allows you to feel both Nara's charm and people's warmth—a memorable place worth revisiting during another season!

I made a Reservation with dinner and breakfast included, and every dish was delicious. The service was excellent, and I was very satisfied. The large public bath was a bit small, so I couldn’t fully relax, but everything else was wonderful. It’s a Hotel I would like to stay at again.

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay, and the room was cleaned perfectly, making my stay very comfortable. It’s close to the station, and there are plenty of parking options nearby, so I would definitely like to stay again.

This was my first time staying at a Daiwa Roynet Group Hotel with a same-day Reservation. I was impressed by the wide selection of amenities. The Room was spacious and well designed; although it was on a lower floor, it was quiet and comfortable. The Onsen after walking around all day was very relaxing. I would like to stay again.

About 20 years ago, I first learned about Nara Hotel through a certain book. The book featured the exterior of the main building, and I was so captivated by its appearance that I dreamed of staying there someday. However, nearly 20 years passed without an opportunity. This time, to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday, we finally stayed in the main building. From the moment we entrusted our luggage to the staff's warm hospitality, we were deeply moved. The detailed explanation during check-in was also exceptional. Upon returning from a stroll outside, every staff member made us feel as comfortable as if we had returned home. The room and interior decor reflected its rich history while providing a sense of comfort that allowed us to enjoy our stay fully. We had both breakfast and dinner during our stay; each meal was absolutely delicious and left us completely satisfied. The staff's explanations for each dish were clear and thoughtful as well. Dining at the tea lounge or bar while enjoying views of the surroundings offered an extraordinary experience beyond everyday life. Having stayed at many accommodations in both Kanto and Kansai areas over the years, Nara Hotel has undoubtedly become my personal number one hotel choice! My mother was also delighted with her experience here. We look forward to staying again in the future—thank you very much!

Our first stay at a Kyoritsu Resort. We were extremely satisfied with everything—the location, the Room and other Facilities, the Onsen, the meals, and the overall service. Breakfast was exceptionally delicious. We would love to stay again.

I didn’t expect to find such a great Hotel in such a convenient location. There’s a lounge where you can relax after sightseeing, local cuisine unique to the area, and many other features that make for a clean Room and a comfortable stay. The service was also excellent, and I had no stress at all. I’ll definitely consider staying here again the next time I visit Nara. Thank you!

It’s really close by and very convenient. We also enjoyed a delicious meal at a nearby izakaya in the evening.

This was my third stay, and once again I stayed for three nights. The Room and bath were comfortable, and above all, I always feel that the staff’s outstanding hospitality is truly wonderful. The international staff members also work so hard that it really comes through and makes me feel warmly welcomed.

This was my fifth stay, but I mistakenly checked in on the wrong Reservation date. Thanks to the support of all the staff, I was able to stay by paying an additional fee. I’m truly very grateful. I look forward to staying 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.

Located right in front of JR Nara Station, it was very convenient and comfortable. Here are the highlights: 1) The breakfast buffet was excellent, with freshly baked bread, roasted green tea rice porridge, and medicinal curry—all delicious. 2) A wide variety of welcome drinks were available for extended hours. 3) The hotel is in a very convenient location with views of Nara Station. You can easily buy late-night snacks at the supermarket inside the station building, and Starbucks and the bus stops are right in front.
