Excellent view and location at a bargain!
We stayed at this lovely place for one night while we were in Nara, and it definitely delivered more value than what we expected. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend it. I liked that you can borrow things at reception and that we had a pass for the public onsen. There was also a lot of useful information in reception that we could get that made our trip easier.
