"The room was clean not very spacious for two people. Great AC and access to a private bathing room. The breakfast was good and inexpensive. It was in a great location."

"Amazing place to stay in Nara, located right in the Park but in a quiet area.
Delicious traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast, they were even able to accommodate vegetarian requests.
Sleeping on the tatami was special!!
Very attentive and kind staff, the only note is that they don't speak English so make sure to have your phone with you with Google translate, especially at the restaurant.
The matcha tea ceremony was cute but very rushed (10 minutes in total)."

I'd they couldn't give answer, they found someone who could. Onsen is amazing, but single. One note is it switches every day, one day females, one day males."

"This was my first time staying at a ryokan. I had a wonderful time. The view was simply amazing. The dinner and breakfast meals were 10 out of 10 for presentation and taste. The baths were equally refreshing. The only thing I could critique is the bed was a little minimal compared to western beds I'm used to. I still got a great nights rest and would come back in a heartbeat."

Bow to friendly deer roaming freely through ancient temples and shrines in Nara Park, where Japan's largest bronze Buddha awaits. Take a guided tour of Todai-ji temple's massive wooden structure, then sample traditional mochi sweets along Naramachi's preserved merchant district streets.
We absolutely loved our stay. Staff was so courteous and helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was great. We hope to be back! The area is so beautiful. Be sure to hike over to the waterfalls and hopefully see some wild monkeys.

We had an excellent stay. The family was so wonderful. They took great care of us and were so sweet. Breakfast was delicious. The ryokan was beautiful and felt very traditional. Would highly recommend!

We were told that if we were going to splurge on something, it should be staying here. That advice couldn't have been more accurate. We loved the ryokan for it's unbelievable service, commitment to authenticity, and everything.
This ryokan felt like home. You are greeted with tea upon your return from exploring the city as well as having a hot soak in your room's tub.
We were there 2 nights and had dinner and breakfast in our rooms both days. We loved the food and experiencing traditional meals...

We stayed 2 nights in the Kuro room, and honestly our experience could not have been better! The room was one of the most beautiful, unique and spacious rooms I have ever stayed in and was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, the property meticulously maintained, and the level of service was beyond what I even imagined. The owners could not have been more welcoming, friendly, warm and accommodating. A wonderful experience!

Very beautiful room. The room set up was perfect. The dinner and breakfast were delicious. It had the newer-style tub. Clean and easy to use. We only reserved it for 1 night but wished we could have booked it longer. The staff was wonderful and I highly recommend this onsen hotel.

Absolutely stay here when in Kyoto. This was our favorite hotel on our trip to Japan. It is an authentic experience. Dinner and breakfast were great (though they may be tough for a picky eater). But most importantly, the staff was amazing. We have never felt more welcomed by a hotel. They became our friends. We will be back!

One of the highlights of the trip. An absolute must if you want to stay in a traditional Ryokan. Location was an added bonus to the bamboo forest and monkey park. Staff was top notch!

We had a wonderful stay at Asahikan. The hosts were exceptional and made delicious and abundant meals for us, were super friendly and helpful, and gave us many suggestions on things to see and do in the area. We highly recommend Asahikan and definitely would return.

the stay is just so relaxing and zen like and it is less than 10 mins walk to Todaiji including the deer park. Kintetsu Nara train station is about 10 mins away and plenty of shops/restaurants/cafes to check out. Highly recommend this hotel. Service is just outstanding.
There are two onsens - one upstairs and another one at the ground floor.
The breakfast is just so filling but healthy.

Was happy to accept our bags early so we would walk around, and was extremely friendly throughout the experience. Beautiful, spacious and comfortable room with a nice gender separated bath a few blows down. The traditional breakfast she served was delicious and made the experience that much more authentic. Would stay here again and absolutely recommend it to anyone!

My son and I took a trip to Japan and loved the experience. This Ryokan was one of the highlights of our trip. It is a very unique stay and you should plan your evening around it if you choose to stay. This is not like a traditional hotel, you are cared for individually. Yuma was our room attendant and was very sweet. Dinner and breakfast were amazing and she did a great job of explaining what everything was. Super cool experience. I hope Yuma is able to visit NASA one day as she said she loves...
