"The open-air bath was wonderful and we also enjoyed the private bath (not fully open at the top, but with balcony doors so you're effectively in the open air)."

“In my opinion, this is more than just a place to stay; it's an immersion into Nara's soul, steps away from ancient shrines and gardens. The staff's dedication to service, exemplified by their thoughtfulness, truly elevates the experience. I found the blend of ryokan tradition and modern comfort particularly compelling, enhanced by the on-site dining, which makes it easy to sample Asian breakfasts and Kaiseki dinners.”
