    This cottage room is like a hidden gem in the middle of the peaceful Nara park forest. It feels like a secret hideaway where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and just enjoy the tranquility.

    Personally, I found the room a bit small, but I guess some people might appreciate the cozy atmosphere.

    We had an incredible stay at Kotonoyado Musashino. the ryokan is situated in the enchanting Nara Park, surrounded by nature and majestic deer. the traditional decor, including tatami rooms and paper screens, added to the charm. the staff was attentive and the service was exceptional, even though their English was limited. We enjoyed delicious meals served in our room, creating a memorable dining experience. the location was also ideal, allowing us to easily explore the strategic points of Nara on foot and avoid the main tourist crowds. a perfect place to immerse yourself in the soul of Japan. Cons: Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like! 😊.

    During our stay at a lovely traditional Japanese hotel, we were delighted by the cultural immersion and warm hospitality. The staff, though limited in English, made sure we felt welcomed and comfortable. They even guided us to the best places to visit, providing an English map. The onsen experience was a must and dressing up in a yukata added to the authentic ambiance. The location was perfect, allowing us to easily explore the surrounding area without the need for transportation. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to have a unique and enjoyable stay.

    The hotel was charming and stunningly beautiful. I truly enjoyed its super-friendly staff. - I had a stylish and huge room here with a private jacuzzi and bath. - the location was great - just a 5-minute walk from a sprawling shrine.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a traditional Japanese ryokan in Nara and it was truly an unforgettable experience. the location of this hotel is ideal, nestled on the edge of the city with stunning views of the surrounding mountain park. It was so peaceful and picturesque, truly capturing the essence of Japan. Another highlight was the exceptional service provided by the staff. They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. They even held onto our bags after checkout so we could explore the park comfortably. Additionally, the rooms were spacious, tastefully decorated, and fitted with all the basic amenities to make our stay comfortable. The private bath with a jacuzzi overlooking the garden was the epitome of luxury and relaxation. Lastly, I must mention the breakfast - it was simply outstanding. The multi-course meal was a true culinary delight and enjoyed amidst the natural beauty of the surroundings.

    No negative aspects noted during my stay.

    This hotel has an incredible attention to detail. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. They even let us check-in early and provided us with bicycles to explore the area, which was a fantastic way to get around and see the sights. The room itself was spacious and beautifully decorated, with traditional Tatami matting and a lovely covered balcony overlooking a serene private garden. We were delighted to find that the room had its own toilet and sink, and we also had access to modern, clean and relaxing hot baths. The breakfast provided was plentiful and delicious, a perfect start to the day. this hotel offers great value for money and exceeds expectations in terms of service, amenities, and location near Nara's historic attractions.

    Everything was perfect, I couldn't find anything to improve.

    One of the highlights of our trip was our stay at this hotel. The attention to detail was superb - from the traditional Japanese-style rooms with their own private jacuzzi overlooking the beautiful garden, to the delicious breakfast served on a low table. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service throughout our stay.

    No improvements needed - everything was perfect.

    We spent our Xmas holiday at a ryokan that offered an unforgettable experience. the food served was not only visually pleasing, but also incredibly savory. the accommodation was spotlessly clean and the staff was helpful. the location was perfect and provided us easy access to many tourist attractions. we appreciated the complimentary shuttle service provided by the hotel.

    The air conditioning was aimed directly at the bed, which made the experience less comfortable. It was also a bit awkward sharing the public bath with other guests.

    During my stay in this hotel, I was amazed by the great location of the hotel. It was situated near the major tourist attractions of the city, making it easy for me to explore them. The walk around the nearby park was incredibly refreshing. It was beautiful to see all of the deer and take natural pictures with them. The hotel facilities were also worth noting, especially the traditional Japanese soaking tub and shower facilities. The hospitality of the staff was impressive as they paid close attention to details like setting up the heater in the room and providing excellent Japanese breakfast.

    Nothing everything was great.

    I really loved the traditional Japanese decoration in this hotel. The tatami mats and sliding doors gave the place a cozy and authentic feel. The general areas, like the lobby and dining area, were well-maintained and had beautiful artwork on display. As a senior woman, I appreciated that the hotel was easily accessible, with ramps and handrails in place to assist with mobility.

    I would have loved to see more activities or amenities specifically tailored for senior guests.
