"Beautiful peaceful ryokan with the full Japanese experience. We loved both of the bookable bathhouses- great after a chilly day in the Deer Park. The kaiseki dinner in your own private adjoining dining room was beautifully presented and delicious. The staff were all very lovely. Highly recommend. "

"We had a lovely time here! We were travelling by public transport, and this spot is a little of out of the way, but they sent a shuttle to the train station and it was easy to arrive. It was not clear from their website that the restaurant would not be open for dinner, and the closest restaurant by foot (other than McDonald's) was a 30 minute walk away. That was no problem; we had a nice walk, a great dinner, and really loved the onsen!"

"Absolutely gorgeous place, super close to Nara park. After hiking to Mount Wakakusa my wife and I enjoyed the private hot springs. It was surreal enjoying the hot water while listening to the rain in the rock garden area. We would definitely come back if we find ourselves in Nara. "

"This hotel was perfect!
Cleanliness was unmatched. The front desk staff we encountered all spoke English well and were very kind and helpful. We chose the room with the queen bed and the room itself was quite spacious with a gorgeous view facing Dotonbori. I will note that there are two sets of elevators you’ll have to catch —one from the ground level to the 22nd where the reception is and another to the rooms. We never had to wait long for a lift since I think there were at least 4 elevators but it couldve been a slow season. The hotel is situated in a fairly quiet area and even with the expressway below our room, the nights were quiet. A big bonus was the hotel was not overly heated! In our past visits to other areas in Japan in colder months, the rooms would be uncomfortably hot but that was not the case here. We visited in mid January.
Location was great for our needs. It’s literally across the street from the OCAT bus terminal, which was very convenient since our transport to/from airport was through Airport Limo Bus. There’s a Family Mart on the basement level (closed Sundays) but in the same bldg is a full size grocery store, mini natural food shop, cosmetics shop, a huge DCM home goods shop and a CanDo 100Y shop. 10 min walk to Dotonbori, 15 min walk to Koromon Market and 20 min walk to Shinsekai. Namba Stn and Namba Walk is right underneath and it was a 20 min cab ride to Shin Osaka and Osaka Stn.
If in Namba, we would stay again!"
