We stayed in tatami rooms with private bath. It comes with a very nice view as you sit outside in the bath overlooking the mountain side. the food is wonderful, if you truly appreciate Japanese food (I've read other reviews saying the food was bland but that usually comes from a non-foodie that doesn't get quality food). It is kaiseki food for dinner and breakfast but if you stay longer, they will offer shabu shabu or sukiyaki. We stayed a couple nights so we did sukiyaki the second night.
The Ryokan itself looks a bit dated in the lobby but again, the rooms were wonderful. The location is a bit out of the way as it is a 10 min taxi drive from Oji station which is about 30-45 minutes train from Nara station. So a bit country but if you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to be.
Relax in the bath set on the balcony while watching the wonderful view.
This is a hideaway inn that Japanese people don't know too much.
We recommend this ryokan if you want to experience a real high quality Japanese ryokan service.
In order to do so, you must also learn Japanese culture and manners before staying.
