Asukasou

I loved the public hot baths with the view of the 5 pagodas. Staff was extremly friendly and helpful.Perfect location - in the park and close to old town and the new section of town.

This is a typical Japanese hotel in Nara City. The location is just incredible, next to the most famous temples and parks. Service is good and the room has a traditional tatamis beds, really romantic experience to share.

Excellent Ryokan. Quite a treat to stay at a Japanese-style Inn. Staff is polite and respectful. The outdoor onsen has a beautiful view of the nearby pagoda. Ideal location to visit the Nara Deer park and Todaiji temple. One note of caution to future guests : Don't try to find this hotel on your own!! Hire a taxi from Nara station.

Great hotel, close to the main attractions. Very beautiful traditional Japanese bedrooms. I loved the open air baths on the rooftop with a view of the pagoda.

This is Japanese style hotel with complimentary communal baths near the historic district/deer park at the end of the main shopping street. Nara is very nice town for those with an interest in Japanese history.

If you're looking for a nice place to enjoy the experience of a traditional Japanese Inn including a multi course meal and traditional breakfast, this establishment is not only good but cheaper than most others offering the same experience. Worth the trip out of the big cities to Nara, there is a lot to do and see here but you will find that the hotel offers enough to keep you occupied.

Asukasou is located in a quiet area very close to the deer park in Nara, it was a 3-5 minute taxi ride from the Nara JR station. The room was very clean and designed to make you feel at home (a Japanese style home). We were served Japanese tea and sweets the moment we arrived our room and the staff were very friendly. We picked the package with dinner and breakfast and I am very glad I did because the food was fantastic and authentic. I really enjoyed the outdoor onsen (hot spring) even though it was a little cold to go from the changing area (downstairs) to the onsen which was upstairs but other than that I loved it. I would definitely come back again and recommend Asukasou to anyone who is planning to stay in Nara.

great experience, very friendly staff, nice hot public bath!

Great Japanese experience. Very high quality place. Perfect location for touring. Only reservation is the price, but it seems all ryokans are pricey. Great view of pagoda. For a splurge I would stay here again.

Staff extremely helpful and friendly, english language barrier not a problem. We elected for breakfast and dinner package. Food exquistely presented. Very delicious and just kept coming. Great location and overall a memorable experience.
