Families, couples, and groups of friends can enjoy a relaxing bath together without worrying about other guests. The bathing area is equipped with lockers, hair dryers, cotton swabs, tissues, and other amenities. ◆ Modern Facilities and Comfortable Japanese-Western Rooms ◆ All guest rooms are Japanese-Western-style rooms that combine traditional Japanese design with Western comfort.

Please note that advance reservations by telephone or other methods are not accepted. Depending on your check-in time, your preferred time slot may not be available. ・Guest rooms are located on the second and third floors. As our ryokan is housed in a historic building, there is no elevator, and the rooms are accessible only by stairs. Our staff will be happy to assist you with carrying your luggage.

"This place was so cute and excellent. Staff didn't speak much English, but we were able to communicate easily enough. Room was Japanese Ryokan style. Tatami mats, low table. It had everything needed, shower and toilet in the room too. There is also an onsen that you can reserve for your private use. I asked for a time later at night and they still had one spot available. If you can't get a time then it is ”public use” after 22:00, which seems to mean that you might need to share if others want to join. Location was very good, right in the middle of the historic part of town and a short walk (<5 min) to Nara park to see the deer. Hotel was very nice and clean. I was here in late December and the air conditioning heater in the room was very good too."

"This was my first time staying in this type of accommodation in Japan. I stayed for five nights. On the first day, I smelled a cold odor as soon as I entered the room. On the second day, I woke up with a sore throat and realized I had caught a cold. On the third day, I found that two staff members had severe colds, coughing and having runny noses. They weren't wearing masks, and the rooms weren't well-ventilated. I had to ask them to open the windows every day. I was disappointed that the staff didn't seem to care about keeping the air fresh. Towels were available for an extra charge. The location was very convenient."

Very friendly and courteous staffs, a true experience of the Japanese culture and tradition. Our gratitude to Shigisan Kanko Hotel staffs 🙏.👍.."

"Located in a quiet quaint neighborhood. It was storming so I didn't get an opponent to enjoy the river and it's surrounding which the accommodation was just next to. But the spacious room came as a joy but unfortunately the beddings were not comfortable. Could feel the bed springs and the pillow overly soft. Wished that they provided tatami beddings instead. Check in details were not provided via booking on trip.com but thankfully could easily contact the owner via WhatsApp. Overall still a great experience."

I have been to Nara several times and I try a different hotel every time. Having stayed here, I think I will stay here again when I come to Nara in the future. As others said, there were deer outside the door in the morning, and the guy at the front desk spoke very good English. As for parking service, you can rent it from the grocery store opposite

It was 2 nights 3 day, but the dishes were delicious without getting tired of pork, venison, salt-grilled salmon, tofu, and various ingredients. If you go again, I will make it a tarashi or an inn.

I stayed here on a solo trip. As other people have said in their reviews, the staff were really polite and welcoming. I was very grateful. The private room was spacious enough just to sleep. The bedding was clean. However, since it's all made of wood, it may be best not to place delicate items directly on it. The washroom and shower room were very clean and easy to use. I would like to stay here again when I visit Tenri (or Nara). Thank you.

Overall, I was quite satisfied, meeting my expectations. The price was relatively reasonable, and the value for money was good. The facilities were complete, with a bathroom and shared washing machine within the B&B. Although there was only one bathroom, I didn't have to worry about long waits. There was also a kitchen available, and the overall cleanliness was excellent. The nearest bus stop is 300 meters away, so transportation and the surrounding area are acceptable. The owner is Chinese and speaks Mandarin without any issues. Room 201 was quite small, practically covered entirely with mattresses, and only accommodated a 28-inch suitcase, though the owner had explained in advance. Note that there are few people nearby, and most of them are elderly, so please keep your voice down both on the way and in the room.
