This was my favourite stay in Japan. It was a lovely experience to stay in a traditional Ryokan with tatami mats, futons, Shoji and fluffy doonas. Our hosts were friendly, warm and helpful with good English communication. We arrived a few hours before our check in time but were warmly welcomed and shown to our room. Hospitality extended to a delicious fluffy cream filled sponge waiting for us on our return to our room, and a delicious western style breakfast including bacon and eggs and freshly brewed black coffee (our choice, a Japanese breakfast also on offer) at a beautifully laid out table. Our kids loved the croissants and breads with fruity jams, the yogurt and freshly squeezed apple juice. Our hostess also instructed our daughter to make some traditional green tea. I left belongings which they organized to be sent to my next accommodation. These arrived the next day. (A Sunday !!!!). Very fond memories of this place. :)

The breakfast was incredible-- and the host was absolutely wonderful. Beautiful traditional room as well. The location was a little difficult to find for non-Japanese speakers. The shared bathroom and lack of of privacy (simply a paper wall between you and your neighbor) is charming if you want that experience but could be a slight set back if you are counting on some privacy. Very nice experience overall.

Modest Room on Second Floor of Private Residence
Located at a hard-to-find address in a modest neighborhood of Nara, this private residence offers one traditional Japanese room (not the several implied by its Web site, which shows pictures of the same room from different angles and alternate furnishings) at the top of narrow stairs, with a balcony used for storing cleaning and laundry supplies overlooking a parking lot. Clean toilet and bath located in adjoining hall, shared with another even more modest room. Bring your own sandals, arrange your own futons and maybe horse your bags up the stairs. The owner (only "staff" we encountered) tries mightily, providing tea, dinner and breakfast. No other facilities and no alcohol available aside from homemade sake unless the owner is asked to go shopping. This is not a hotel but a room on the second floor of a private residence, a B&B in European or American terms.

Great place
Hotel was homestyle. Comfortable. Host was really really really nice! She cooked us breakfast at 5:30 AM when we had to leave early. Her puppy is also amazing. Highly recommended.
