Kawakami Vacation Rentals

"OMG!! From the 11 course feast to the stone onsen (spa bath) to the friendly staff to the gardens (beautiful even in Feb before all the acers get their leaves & the cherries their blossoms). Dressing up in a yukata; eating & sleeping in a tatami mat room with sliding doors and windows - you HAVE to do this if you are anywhere near Osaka."

"清潔でよかったです！ベットは少し硬め"

"The room is a bit old and need redecorations. Restaurant and spa are too crowded in my stay period. We have been overcharged the Carpark fee as we were required to pay at reception and carpark exits."

"It was a very nice stay. Staff were very nice."

"Room was very clean, supplied lots of amenities like a towel, toothbrush, new bedsheets ect. Very quick check in even before my due time and they were very helpful, would highly recommend to anyone looking to reavel to Nara!"

"Perfect and with onsen !"

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

"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."
