Ryokan in Nara Prefecture

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.

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 dinner was amazing and we felt welcome and well cared for.

Excellent Ryokan that has been well maintained and cared for given its long history. The old facility is evident and yet despite that, provided a cosy stay. The host was extremely warm and welcoming and showed the hospitality as one would expect from a traditional Ryokan passed down from decades old. The kaiseki meal at additional cost were delicious and well worth it. Frankly not much around the area and as the host put it best: come, relax and enjoy what the moment has to offer without the...

IN an amazing location right next to the Nara Kintetsu train station and in a shopping arcade with a great choice of food. The room was Japanese style .Pretty squashed . Fairly expensive with no breakfast offered compared to other local hotels . Friendly service

Traditional ryokan. We had our own toilet, but you use a shared shower/onsen. Great little sitting area. And a magical massage chair!
