Ryokans in Nara

You never know which one to go with when scrolling through the countless options on the Internet, but we are very glad we stayed at Asukasou. The people were genuinely friendly and helpful and the room was really nice - the best futon I've ever slept on! There is an open air rooftop bath that is a must do if you stay here. Be warned: those travelling with English only may have trouble finding this inn as the sign (I think) was only in Japanese.

The hospitality, the property and the food were exceptional! If you have the opportunity to take the dinner and breakfast option, I would highly recommend it, absolutely fabulous! This is a great property for those wanting to submerge themselves into Japanese culture.

We stayed for one night for the Japanese ryokan experience. Tried the Japanese style set menu - very tasty and great experience (11 courses - very filling ). Some of the staff spoke English which was a great help us us as our Japanese was limited. Our room had an outdoor private bath which was great to soak in after a few hours walking around Nara park. Getting to and from the ryokan was simple as long as you called ahead to book the courtesy shuttle which goes back and forth from the 2 Nara...

Fantastic staff and amenities - restaraunt food was outstanding, highly recommend and good location to parks etc

This Ryokan is located just a short walk to the major gardens and Shrines, and it's in the charming Nara town tradtional layout of buildings. It's all wonderful to get around on foot.

Wonderful experience, great location, friendly lovely hosts.

The property was excellent, the staff were lovely, the breakfast was delicious, and it was very conveniently located. Great place to stay.

Stunning hotel and traditional Japanese culture. Easy location next to train lines and walking distance to temples and beautiful Kyoto sights!

We really enjoyed our stay. The 108 year old Ryokan was beautiful and authentic but with modern facilities such as the much needed air conditioning (37 deg C days during our stay). Our room was a large family room with a cupboard for our luggage, a table to sit at and 4 futons and overlooking the inner court garden. The traditional shower and hot bath (wooden) plus a western variety operated on a booking in-times system which seemed to work well, and despite the hot days , a hot bath was a...
