Nakamuraya Ryokan

Hey, travellers esp. foreigners. Experience Roykan and feel Sapporo! Breakfast excellent, great location, very friendly staffs. What else?

The hotel is great with nice welcoming staff and the location is really cool, next to botanical gardens and close to government building. Not sure if all the rooms had this but we had a private bathroom and there was also a traditional public bath a floor below.

This is a great place to try out a japanese ryokan. They great you with tea service in the room which is a nice touch. The Japanese tatami mat beds were the most comfortable that I have slept on. The place is great and in a great central location.

Nice hotel to stay. Staff are friendly. Tatami experience

Location is a 10 minute walk from Sapporo or Odori train station. Very close to Odori park and entrance to underground path of shopping and to Susukino area. Wanted to experience the old style Japan hospitality and room and this was a good one. The room is on the small side. Sleeping on floor mats was not the most comfortable, but was manageable. The facility is very clean and the public bath was always a great end of day thing. Soaking in the hot water "pond", was nice after a long day of walking. The staff and management went out of their way to accomodate my needs. I truly appreciated that. They understood english fairly well which was great as I do not speak japanese. The meals their were super reasonable, I thought. Only three floors and each floor has only like ten rooms, so it's a very quiet propery. Very relaxing.

Ryokan is probably a 10mins or so walk from Sapporo station. Smooth check in process. We were all greeted warmly by front desk and other staff members. We were orientated to the ryokan. Facilities were outdated however that's the charm of ryokans! Facility was clean and spotless. There is a public bath but none of us used it. Futons were comfortable. Self laundry is available at the ryokan. We purchased a coupon for breakfast (1080yen)- variety of things to eat (mostly Japanese styled breakfast options). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay over the three nights.

The ryokan has a 150 year long history. The owners are wonderful people. I really enjoyed my stay there.

The staff was wonderful and helped me with my sightseeing planning. Dinner in your room is a must if you are staying there. It is a very short walk from the JR Sapporo station and a walkable distance to Odori park and Sapporo tower. Being that my visit was during the cold season, I can say the room was always in a comfortable temperature. I will visit again in the future. P.S. This Ryokan has quite a history leading back to the very early 1900s, it is very interesting.

The stay was not so good: the room was an extreme squeeze for 4 people, and it was just enough space to lay 4 futons, with absolutely no more space to open our luggages. The toilet was also very small. The bath towels are of very thin materials and bath soap and shampoo are in little packets and there was no hair conditioner. The only positive thing was the friendliness of the staff, even though they spoke very limited English. Would not recommend if you want a comfortable stay!

small hotel with fair quality of service and clean and tidy room & hotel but good location
