와카사 베테이

나라에서의 숙박하는 것 자체에 대해 고민을 많이 했는데, 이왕이면 료칸에서 자보자고 결정하여 와카사에서 숙박하게 되었습니다. 우선 맞이부터 배웅까지 무척 친절하게 해주시고, 영어도 대충 통하고 친절하게 룸과 호텔 시설 설명까지 해주어서 좋았습니다. 객실은 깔끔한 다다미에 작은 베란다에 전용 욕조가 있긴 했지만, 밖이 보이는 창이 없고 호텔 내부에 둘러싸인 방이라 사람들 문 여닫는 소리도 자주 들리고 답답했어요. 자판기 옆에 있는 휴게실이랑 방이 연결되어 있어서 뭣도 모르고 블라인드를 거뒀다가 많이 당황했습니다. 위치는 나라공원과 도다이지와 걸어서 15분 정도 거리로 조용해서 좋았습니다. 저녁에는 주위가 아주 조용하고 어두워서 외출은 못했습니다. 전반적으로 친절하고 깨끗하나, 기대에 못 미친것 같습니다. 특히 전통여관의 느낌이라기 보다는 여관 모양으로 꾸민 비지니스호텔 같았어요.

객실내에 별도 화장실, 욕탕이 구비되어 있어 편리합니다. 객실내에서 나라 공원이 보여서 만족스러웠습니다. 시설도 좋고 직원들 친절함도 좋았습니다. 특히 좋았던 점은 나라공원을 바라보면서 개별실에서 목욕을 즐길 수 있는 점이었습니다. 한가지 아쉬운점은 자연 온천수가 아니고, 수돗물을 사용한다는 점입니다.

Todo es excelente. La habitación es grande y cómoda con bañera privada al aire libre. El servicio de cena y desayuno tradicional es de gran calidad. A pesar de que el precio por noche es alto, vale muchísimo la pena para una estadía corta después de recorrer Nara.

La amabilidad del personal y en encanto de las instalaciones.

The staff are fabulous, very attentive and customer focused. We had an outdoor private bath which was wonderful and highly recommended. Our one complaint is the beds (futon) they were very thin and hard. We did not sleep well.

また奈良に来た時お世話になります

This was such a unique experience. I enjoyed my stay and LOVED the in-room onsen tub. I only wish there was a larger safe in the room. It was on the smaller side, so I couldn’t fit my laptop in it.

Et stilfullt, velholdt hotell/ryokan med gode badefasiliteter og nydelig mat. Vi bodde på et tradisjonelt japansk rom og sov på tatami matte. Tross litt hard seng sov vi godt. Spiste både tradisjonell middag og frokost, og rettene var mange, forseggjorte og lekre. Et veldig hyggelig personale ga oppholdet det lille ekstra. Anbefales!

Limpio. Buena ubicación. Personal muy amable

Service and food were excellent. We had Japanese dinner and breakfast. Each were well prepared and presented. Very walkable area. Private bath was very nice touch after long day of travel and walking around town.

Amazing hotel.

かなり満足のいく旅行になりました。

東大寺の横にある奈良情緒のある旅館でした。料理が美味しくて接遇も丁寧で心地よく過ごせましたが、会計時にクレジットカードを使えないのが残念でした。

Staying at this ryokan was the absolute highlight of our 10-day trip to Japan! We stayed in Room 303 and loved having our own private mineral soaking tub out on the deck plus the public onsen. Everything about this place was clean, comfortable, and memorable. The private kaiseki dinner was beautiful, delicious, and very filling—an experience not to be missed! We were shocked after checking in to be offered a local guide to explore Nara the following day compliments of Wakasa Bettei. She spent half a day with us—exploring gardens, temples and sanctuaries, while providing stories and local history. A day we will never forget. Overall, our stay was phenomenal! Do not hesitate another minute to book.

I wanted to experience staying at a traditional ryokan on my first Japan trip, so chose this ryokan after doing much research. We stayed in room 301 which had a private open air onsen. The bath and separate shower were both very clean, the Shiseido shampoo and conditioner provided were wonderful, and the private onsen divine. I used it several times during my one night stay. The water was very warm and stayed warm. We had a kaiseki dinner and breakfast. The presentation was absolutely stunning, and the food varied and delicious. But the best part about this ryokan was the staff. From the receptionist who provided me restaurant recommendations for lunch to the staff who served us our meals, and the staff who helped book us a massage, they could not have been friendlier, more welcoming or more gracious. I happened to mention in an earlier conversation that we were celebrating a college graduation on this trip, and to our surprise they brought us a special dessert with sparklers at the end of our meal, which was so lovely. The ratings on various sites for this ryokan differed, but I give it 4 stars! Thank you to the staff for a truly wonderful experience!

Wakasa Bettei surprised me as one of my favorite hotels in my 8-day Japan trip. I think it came down to the fact that the premises were cozy and new, the location was serene and close to Todaiji, and the staff were just so friendly. Absolutely gorgeous meals for dinner kaiseki and Japanese-style breakfast too. There's a goofy charm in having a violinist serenade us during dinner, and offering to take photos of us in our ukatas smiling next to their mascot. Both public bath options they offered were so clean and relaxing and not at all crowded. I would not hestitate to stay here again.

館内はきれいで、お食事もとてもおいしかったです。 温泉の温度と浴室の温度がやや低く寒く感じました。後、貸切風呂の天井にからはカビなのか？扉を開けた時にカビ臭のような臭いが気になってしまったのが非常に残念でした。 それ以外は素敵な施設でした。

Beautiful property and interior design.

Very welcoming. Very helpful. Most staff knew enough English to get along. We stayed in the annex, where we had the experience of a traditional Japanese inn with delicious Japanese dinners and breakfasts.

Absolutely beautiful stay! Staff were all very friendly and attentive and it felt like a true luxury experience. We arrive early with luggage so we could go for a walk and it was all taken to our room by the time we checked in. Minutes away from Nara Park, and would fully recommend booking the private onsen if you can!
