While you eat dinner they’ll prepare your beds in your room. The room is spacious and there was a balcony, overall a very nice place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Experience a luxurious Japanese inn 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. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Apr 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Viola May 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Viola Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kenenna May 7, 2025 ##### Kenenna Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanne Mar 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Herlig hotell 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! ##### Hanne Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana Belén Nov 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Limpio.

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. ##### Danielle Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wilson Jun 7, 2024 ##### Wilson Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mark May 25, 2024 ##### mark Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### MARI Feb 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness 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。 ##### MARI Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Yann Feb 11, 2024 ##### Yann Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pranav Dec 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Pranav Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian Apr 20, 2023 ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn Apr 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Lynn Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono](https://www.expedia.ca/Niseko-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Niseko-Hanazono.h38527384.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.ca/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Chariot Hokutoshichisei 135°](https://www.expedia.ca/Awaji-Hotels-Grand-Chariot-Hokutoshichisei-135.h34745847.Hotel-Information) > > [Yumotokan](https://www.expedia.ca/Otsu-Hotels-Yumotokan.h7028149.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h5117262.Hotel-Information) > > [Kawaguchiko Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kawaguchiko-Hotel.h12991356.Hotel-Information) > > [ASO Farm Land](https://www.expedia.ca/Aso-Hotels-ASO-Farm-Land.h11868090.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Yamanakako-Hotels-Fuji-Marriott-Hotel-Lake-Yamanaka.h17705474.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention](https://www.expedia.ca/Niseko-Hotels-Rusutsu-Resort-Hotel-Convention.h3948188.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tokyo-Bay.h35893302.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Speedway Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Oyama-Hotels-Fuji-Speedway-Hotel.h82927328.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Clad](https://www.expedia.ca/Gotemba-Hotels-Hotel-Clad.h38381266.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Bessho SASA](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Bessho-SASA.h14626817.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.ca/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Oriental-Hotel-Tokyo-Bay.h1041843.Hotel-Information) > > [Ooike Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Ooike-Hotel.h5620879.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vista Fuji Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-La-Vista-Fuji-Kawaguchiko.h15976788.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeland Hotel Mizunosato](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Lakeland-Hotel-Mizunosato.h10608801.Hotel-Information) > > [Fufu Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-FUFU-KAWAGUCHIKO.h33760212.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Onsenji Yumedono](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-Onsenji-Yumedono.h9635420.Hotel-Information) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.ca/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-HOTEL-MYSTAYS-Fuji-Onsen-Resort.h16114229.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
