Search Ryokan in Shigi-Ikoma Skyline

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.

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!

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...

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.

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

A beautiful, traditional ryokan just a minute's walk from the station. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and efficient and greet you on your return with tea and sweets in your room. The surrounding area is beautiful, with the smell of trees and wood smoke. Amami is a bit of a hike from Osaka city but that just adds to the appeal. The onsen is very relaxing but some may be embarrassed bathing nude in front of others but if you can get over that then it is a fantastic experience. We had no...

Cutest man at the front counter. So helpful! Goes out of his way to help you. Great location. Good experience all round.

Excellent and friendly staff. Made the luggage tranfer to tokyo easy. Loved the ambience and feel. Thank you.

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

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

Good location for the shopping and night life, could be a bit crowded at times. Some of the first floor carpeting looked worn and dark in areas, especially the elevator. The room and bath area and sauna were all good and well maintained with all the amenities that we needed.
