Guest Houses in Otokuni

This is a 10 out of 10. The location at the edge of the forest is spectacular. The service is impeccable. We are vegan and they accommodated us with absolutely delicious meals. It is located just on the outskirts of the Nara Deer Park where you are surrounded by a lovely forest ambience and yet you are just a short hike from the Park and its bustling surrounds. The trail just outside the Ryoken takes you up the mountain.It is simply an awesome place!

We had a great stay at Luck You. The staff was extremely helpful and nice, always offering tea and welcoming with a huge smile. The design is lovely and the "breakfast" area is pleasant and peaceful.

An unforgettable traditional ryokan experience! Amazing location, extremely quiet, ultra relaxing, environment to completely unwind. The staff is incredible, the food is delectable, and the tea ceremony (do not skip) is a magical and unforgettable experience. You’re sleeping on a futon on tatami floors in a 157 year old building in historic Kyoto, just as they’ve done for 1,200 years. A wonderful way to spend a night or two during your visit!

This ryokan had just opened when we were lucky enough to stay here. The rooms were bright, and beautifully appointed, with touches of Kyoto--a view of the garden, traditionally shaped lamp and personal bath. But the amenities were modern and thoughtful --powerful hairdryer, coffee in room and thick futon mattresses. If you are accustomed to ryokan, or looking for the ryokan experience, you can have it here, while still taking advantage of modern luxuries like a shower head with a massage...

We loved our time here! The room was actually pretty spacious compared to other hotels on our Japan trip around the same price point. It was nice to have a little kitchenette for tea and heating up food as well. Close by to A LOT of great food, activities and a park. It’s also a short walk from Kyoto station. The Resy team was very quick to communicate and give us anything we needed when we asked for it :) Would stay here again!

We stayed in Room number one. It was incredible. It was such a wonderful experience to stay in a historic building that had modern amenities and a lot of space. The room decorations and sliding doors were beautiful. The living room overlooks the garden. Everything was clean. It was nice to have the communal food area to grab coffee in the morning and a light meal. Be aware that the room entrance for the room is right next to the lobby. There are stairs to climb to get up to the room. We will...

The service here is absolutely impeccable. I wasn't sure when booking this hotel if it would meet expectations and there was only sketches for pictures on the site, but it actually exceeded them! It was so quiet there also and in a fabulous location, close to the Castle, train station and numerous other transportation options, great food. The gardens were lovely. At night as it was so quiet, you could hear the several waterfalls and drift off to sleep. It's also in a very pretty part of town....

Beautiful and cozy place. The staff were all so kind. Nearby, there are restaurants and the Yasaka Shrine. Me and my partner had a wonderful experience staying here for our Honeymoon! Thank you all again!

The room was comfy and actually very spacious. Food near by closes super early so if you're walking keep that in mind. I would recommend an eye mask since the sun rises early and there are only blinds and not curtains! Other than that very charming place!

Charming place, but hit my head on the 175cm door entrance many times 😆

I loved how authentic the experience felt and looked, curated by such amazing and sweet souls.

Very welcoming guesthouse close to Nara park (~20 mins walking) Check in/out was a breeze and has a wonderful shared space downstairs. Would recommend

Best nights in Japan! Great stay! Japanese style. Delicious food. Super courteous host. Will visit again when possible. Thank you. A Gem place.

The room was beautiful, clean and staff were efficient and gracious.
