Tsubakiso Review
Friendly service and an internal garden make for a relaxed stay in this quiet mix of old and new. Rooms in the newer wing have suites with private baths, whereas rooms in the old wing share a communal bath. A cha-gayu breakfast is served in the dining room overlooking the garden. Prices include a kaiseki dinner and breakfast, and there are reduced prices for longer stays (three nights or more). Tsubakiso is down a quiet side street in central Nara, about a 10-minute walk from either of the main train stations.
