Tenpyo Ryokan

Conveniently located near Kintetsu-Nara station. The place looks a tad old with some wear-and-tear, and the wooden tiles in my room made a creaking sound whenever being stepped on. Soundproofing was pretty bad – I could hear people walking along the corridor, and voices and sounds coming from neighbours above and below. Staff did not provide clear instructions on how to self-checkout, i.e. where to place the key as there was no indication around the front desk which was unmanned in the early hours of the morning.

大澡堂類似東北大浴場的縮小版，在商業街道里麪，樓道里散發著一股烤肉的味道。總體而言偏貴，離奈良公園走路很近，離近鐵也很近

Very convenient to shopping, dining, and Nara Park sightseeing. Short on charm, especially for the price. Fluorescent lighting in bare-bones room felt decidedly "budget." No-frills shared bath facilities. Room had relatively fresh tatami mats and clean, well-supplied private bathroom. Good Japanese breakfast.
