My stay at Tenpyo Ryokan was a mix of wonderful experiences and a few minor drawbacks. The location was absolutely ideal for exploring Nara Park and the bustling shopping area, but the room lacked a bit of charm for the price, with some fluorescent lighting that felt more budget than cozy. Overall, it was a great introduction to Japanese culture through its traditional ryokan experience.

I had a decent stay at Tenpyo Ryokan, with its excellent location for shopping and sightseeing in Nara Park. However, I found the room to be quite basic, and the early check-out time was a bit inconvenient. The Japanese breakfast was enjoyable, but overall, the experience felt a little budget for the cost. 🏯🍱

I had a pretty good stay at Tenpyo Ryokan. The location is fantastic, being just a minute’s walk from the station and right in the middle of a bustling shopping street. However, the shared bath facilities felt a bit basic, and the fluorescent lighting in my room didn’t quite add charm. On the upside, the tatami mats in my room were fresh, and the Japanese breakfast was delicious!

My room was laid out with tatami flooring and included a clean, well-supplied private bathroom. They also provided a yukata, which added to the experience, but the room itself felt somewhat budget due to its lighting and basic amenities.

While the facilities weren’t the newest or great, everything worked well. The shared baths were functional but definitely had a no-frills vibe. There’s also laundry available, which was helpful.

My stay at Tenpyo Ryokan was largely enjoyable, thanks to its prime location and traditional ambiance. however, some aspects could use improvement. The communal bathing facilities felt basic, and the room's lighting was a bit too bright for comfort. Still, I appreciated the clean private bathroom and the excellent breakfast service.
