Best Nara Luxury Hotels

Tsukihitei Ryokan

4.0 star property
Nara
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (52)
"A beautiful spot in the forest, although just a bit far from the sights in Nara. The staff was lovely and the room quite comfortable, by Western standards for a Japanese room (although the futons were by far the hardest and most uncomfortable of the three ryokans we visited). The meals lived up to the reviews, beautifully presented true kaiseki."
