Heguri
Basic Japanese-style rooms overlook the temple compound, and feature a tatami (woven mat) floor, on which traditional futon bedding is spread to sleep in. They are fitted with air conditioning and a safe. Staying here was a wonderful experience for our family, including 3 kids, ages 10, 15, 17. The location was magical and serene, the food delicious and unique. Wish we could have stayed longer to participate in more of the educational opportunities. Took a train, then a local bus as close as we could and then walked the last 3/4 mile, which worked out fine since we only had day packs on us, but you may want to plan your transportation ahead of time if this wouldn't work for you.
Nara
Guests at Hotel Kasuga can enjoy a taste of Japan with the green tea and Yukata robes provided. Japanese-style rooms have a tatami (woven-straw) floor and futon bedding, and all rooms come with an LCD TV and an en suite bathroom. A nice authentic experience of staying in a Ryokan-style room. Both the private and public baths were lovely. The food was great and the waitress did a great job explaining for each course what we were having and how to eat it properly. The location was also great with the major sights and the deer in walking distance.
Nara
Tsukihitei is located in the Kasugayama Primeval Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Each guest room has a Japanese-style decor and offer panoramic forest views, traditional tatami (woven-straw) floors, and shoji paper screens. Staying at a ryokan always sort of puts a calming spell on you - and this one in the woods of Nara is magic. Enchanting location, perfectly quiet after days of busy tourism. Delicious dinner and breakfast, excellent service and beautiful facilities.

The host was extremely kind. She always made sure we had everything we needed before leaving and coming back from our daily trips. It was like staying at some "real Japanese people's home".
Dorogawa Onsen, Tenkawa
Guests at the ryokan can enjoy an Asian breakfast. There is a coffee shop, and packed lunches are also available. The ryokan is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in. The location was picturesque and overall incredibly pleasant to look around at. The property itself is very well maintained, truly delivers the classic ryokan experience, onsen are amazing and very enjoyable, the staff was wonderful and incredibly helpful. The food was something else - both the kaiseki dinner and the breakfast were delicious, filling and a great pleasure to partake in. Overall, would highly recommend, I had a blast staying at Kadojin.

All rooms in the ryokan are fitted with a flat-screen TV. Rooms are equipped with a shared bathroom. All units have a desk.
The meals are the best of our whole trip in Japan. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is nested by the creek yet right across the street from the bus stop. The location is perfect. The host gave us a ride to the nearby public Onsen and gave us a tour to the Tenkawa Daibenziten-Sha Shrine, where the Emperor of the Southern Court had lived around 700 years ago. We took a less than two-hour scenic hike to the Dorogawa Onsen village, and 25 minutes bus back. Loved their private bath which includes both indoor and outdoor tubs all to yourself but needs to book with the host.
Nara Park, Nara
The ryokan also offers free use of bicycles. Kofuku-ji is 1.1 km from Musashino, while Kasuga Taisha is 300 metres from the property. The nearest airport is Osaka Itami Airport, 39 km from the property. I loved everything about it. The food was exceptional.

The breakfast was fab, really appreciated the more traditional Japanese breakfast! Also thanks so much for bringing us our forgotten items after we had left for a few minutes, our forgetful selves are very appreciative! :)

The onsen is spectacular and is worth a stay for that alone. In addition, the tatami throughout the building adds a great relaxing vibe to the hotel. Our room was comfortable, spacious, and clean. The hotel is well decorated and breakfast is excellent (although expensive at 2300 yen per person). Staff were friendly and helpful. This is a great place to base a Nara trip. I would return in a heartbeat.
The room was fantastic. It was huge, especially by Japanese standards. The location was great, short bus ride from the main JR station and walking distance to the other station with connections to Osaka and Kyoto. The onsen was lovely with an open air pool. Very clean. The room had all the amenities you’d need, including Yukata and slippers as well as decent toiletries. There was a separate bath and toilet in a very large bathroom with a separate dressing area
Located only a couple short streets away from the Nara park complex. Private onsen times available. Typical Ryokan style rooms, but kept very clean. Lovely staff who speak great English. Would definitely stay again.
The host was an extremely nice and lovely lady. The stay offered many possibilities to experience authentic japanese ryokan (outfits, bath, room, breakfast etc.) The bath was free and the view was amazing. You could reach the location relatively easily. The futon and air conditioning ensured that we were not cold even though it was late February. If in need of more options with shops or restaurants, the cable car nearby could take you easily and cheaply down to Ikoma town.
This is a nice and cozy ryokan. The rooms are clean and quiet and it has a wonderful onsen. The top attractions of Nara are all in walking distance and many small shops are around. Would definitely come again.
We loved the onsen and the beautiful tatami decor - it was very serene. The Japanese breakfast was so good too. Great location too.
This place was exactly what I was looking for. A quiet ryokan with a private tattoo-friendly onsen. My room was big and the futon was very comfy. I appreciated the complimentary water and a kettle to make tea. Everything was so good, thank you! I will definitely come back.
My son and I loved this ryokan. We had previously paid $300 per night at a ryonkan of similar standard in Kyoto and this was almost as much value for a much lower price. The room was huge. The location was the best we'd had during our stay as it is right near the food market and main part of town. The staff were so lovely. The Onsen was wonderful although I recommend getting there soon after 5pm when it is filled as it cools down quickly. The futons and pillows were too hard for us but that is just personal preference.
- almost everything - this hotel is directly at the beginning of the nara deer park. deer are literaly just outside your window. - stunning view at koufuku-ji temple - onsen directly in the hotel - nice staff - wonderfull tradinional room with tatami, futons and yukata - spotlessly clean - price - I would stay here again and I regret that I stayed only one night. I really enjoyed the evening, part of which I spent in my room
