"From the very first time we arrived in Asuka, on to the house. We were surprised by it's magic. The village is so serene, near by all the amenities we needed from walking distance to restaurants, grocery store, and train station. The house itself is absolutely magical. It's like a fairy tail. We arrived right when the autumn color burst out their magnificent red, orange, and gold. This place is even better because the hosts, the elderly couple who take cared of us while we were there were the most genuine, kind, generous people we know. They are very proud of their house, as they should be. So, take care of this place if you are staying there, please. The gifts they gave us during our trip was from their own garden and handmade items. It's very touching and even though we travel to other places afterwards, Kotorian has a soft spot in our hearts. We were traveling the four of us adults and the house was enough space for everyone to do our own thing. The teenagers particularly love the bikes. While us the parents love to rest (to heal for me) and enjoy the slow living of Nara. This place is perfect for everyone. The kids even had a chance to go back to Osaka for a day trip by themselves without having any trouble navigating the trains. The train system between Osaka and Nara was easy to understand. Asuka is now one of our favorite villages in the world. Thank you very much for letting us stay at your beautiful home. We'll be back. Arigatou gozaimashita! "

"Such a beautiful place to stay! The Kaiseki experience and the traditional Japanese setting, we loved it! Staff is very friendly and even helped us to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Not to mention the amazing views while you are soaking in onsen. "

"The rooms were good and the service was fine, it just seemed like the staff wasn't well equipped to serve english speaking guests."

"Perfect and with onsen !"

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

"Great hotel. Good service"

"Our first vacation in Japan was concluded by the extraordinary stay at Asahikan. This family run ryokan is one of a kind with a fantastic owner and staff that continues the magic of Japanese hosting culture. This gems hidden in the mountains has been running for over 150 years and we understand why as our stay was absolutely memorable. We stayed 3 nights with our two 6 years old daughters which almost believed to be in a fairy tale and kept on looking for Totoro their favorite movie. The owner went the extra mile by getting Totoro cups and souvenirs for our girls. The girls will never forget their first visit of Japan thanks to this extraordinary customer care. The room was large enough for us 4 and super clean and well maintained. The food was amazing. The staff and chef (who is the owner and his family) made us discover all traditional Japanese food with local touch with speciality of the region and freshly caught and brought for the breakfast and diner. Once again truly amazing. We went there to rest and do some hiking in the area. There is multiple shrive and temple near by to explore and walk. For even better view the owner suggested us to take a bus and go to the Odaigahara national park to do some hiking in a unesco recognized park. Again a fantastic suggestion by the owner. I would recommend Asahikan 1000 time ove to whoever wants to discover Japan at its finest and enjoy nature, quite places and hiking."

"Our stay at the hotel was excellent. The hotel is located in a very quiet area. The cleanliness and service/staff are excellent. The hotel has a shuttle service that takes you to the train station. Unfortunately, it only runs until the afternoon. The connection to Kyoto is okay. The natural surroundings of the hotel are beautiful, and you can be in the forest in a few minutes. This hotel is perfect for people who want to get away from the big cities."

"Front staffbwas very friendly and the people who bring you breakfast were wonderful 😊 "
