“I found this little place quite charming; the main building has a traditional feel, rooms are surprisingly spacious, and I appreciated the thoughtfulness of details such as the rice porridge. The staff seems particularly friendly, and the option to leave luggage before check-in is a definite plus. It's a solid choice for experiencing Nara.”
