Ryokan in Mishima District

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.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. An incredible experience that I will always remember. I cannot think of anything that was not exceptional.

Wonderful experience, great location, friendly lovely hosts.

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. The staff were most courteous and friendly, i felt like a welcome guest, and recommend this ryokan highly. Arigato gozaimas ta, Nara Ryokan!

The staff were so friendly and helpful, we loved the traditional breakfast, they were accommodating to my husband who can’t eat fish. They have a courtesy bus that takes you to Arashiyama which I didn’t know and so glad they suggested. The futons are hard but I got used to them. They also said their onsen is tattoo friendly. But most of the place is in such a spectacular forest it was so pretty in the late autumn I will definitely be going back.

If your looking for the perfect place to enjoy japanese food and a relaxing personal onsen experience then this is it. Your own hot tub on the balcony and excellent food made for a very enjoyable experience, along with all the other amenities, baths and massage it was a great spa experience.

View and breakfast quality

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...

This ryokan is even better than the photos and reviews. It is across the street from the train, so very convenient. All staff wete helpful. There is a casual yukata provided or you can chose a slightly nicer one, also complimentary. Slippers are provided. The onsen are easy to use, with mininal wait times. We absolutely loved it.

The public onsens at this property were incredible! It was so perfect to have an onsen to relax in after a long day of adventuring. Even though it was the middle of summer when I stayed, I found myself going to the onsen at the end of every day. The rooms were also beautiful and so spacious. The location of the property was in a quieter neighbourhood, while still being walking distance to 2 stations, bus stops (I found myself using the buses the most while staying here), and some restaurants....

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

I loved this ryokan! Stayed with my mum on her trip to visit me in japan, she loved it so much we extended our stay. The staff are so welcoming, speak English ( which was helpful for my mum) and are just generally so friendly and accomodating. The bath is also a highlight! Would recommend to anyone visiting Kyoto 💖

The property was very nice and the staff are so wonderful; they really go out of their way for the service. We had a relaxing stay, using the gender split onsen and also the Japanese bath tub in our room. The property was covered in scaffolding when we were there, they must be doing some external renovations. The view from our bath tub would've been nicer without the scaffolding. The breakfast in the morning was also great!
