+Excellent location, just a short walk from major shopping areas, the deer park, and historic temples. I especially loved visiting the park and temples early in the morning before the crowds arrived. The Japanese-style room was spacious, quiet, and cozy. The host was exceptionally warm, generous, and welcoming.

“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.
