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.

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.

Beautiful stay!
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!

Amazing Kyoto location
The food was authentic they serve you meal after meal in waves but it’s all in good portions so you won’t be too full to continue. 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.
