"A charming place to stay. It's described as a guesthouse, but it feels more like a ryokan – the rooms are traditional and the building is an atmospheric stunner." Full review
Lonely Planet "In a 160-year-old machiya (shophouse) with a courtyard garden, this quiet, atmospheric spot beautifully integrates both traditional and contemporary design" Full review

Lonely Planet "This traditional ryokan has reasonable rates and a good Naramachi location. The rooms are clean and spacious with shared bathrooms and a large communal bathtub."
DK Eyewitness "Conveniently positioned in the center of Nara, Ryokan Seikan-so is close to major tourist attractions such as Kasuga Shrine, Todai-ji Temple and Kofuku-ji Temple... Helpful, English-speaking staff."
Frommer's "A lovely choice in inexpensive Japanese-style accommodations, this former geisha house boasts a beautiful garden, complete with azalea bushes and manicured trees—the kind of garden usually found only at ryokan costing twice as much" Full review
