Staff extremely helpful! Good position touching Nara deer park, walkable from train station.
Good ryokan, albeit the 90’s feeling of the overall deco. Decent indoor and outdoor pools (medium-small); self-service rooftop bar for a moderate fee.
Didn’t try breakfast or other meals, just a one-night break between Kyoto and Osaka.

The breakfast though expensive was a unique experience for us. I recommend it for someone never tasted a genuine lavish Japanese breakfast.

The bath facility was nice; definitely worth trying out. I liked the massage chair in the lobby as well. Everything worked as expected. My room was the smallest in the building but it still felt reasonably spacious. The staff was very attentive. I asked for help to arrange airport transport. They went above and beyond to make sure i got all the details right.

Also easily walked to very special restaurants after using the hot baths. Most important, the staff could not have been more wonderful.

Okay, needs updating.

The photos looked amazing but in reality our room was dated and felt a bit unclean. The bathroom smelled of urine all night. Overall I felt this was much more traditional than anywhere else we stayed so I feel as though this may need to be taken with a grain of salt. They just need to spruce thungs up a bit.

The redeeming factor was the outdoor onsen, at night you have a view of the nearby Pagoda and it is spectacular.

I had assumed the included breakfast would be a cup of tea and a roll or something simple. Instead it was a multi-year traditional Japanese gourmet extravaganza. Absolutely stunning and delicious.

Western guests might want to bring an auxiliary backup towel, and adjust expectations about \"cosy\" bathrooms, but it is a perfectly workable compromise for a traditional ryokan and you'll want to spend more time in the multiple rooftop baths anyway which have plenty of space.

Already thinking of when I can go back!

Great location and welcome in Nara

Perfect spot, location location location and rooftop onsen! I stayed one night while doing motorcycle tour of Wakayama area. The hotel staff was wonderful, great check in with my name on the board and they provided easy covered parking. English was no problem. The hotel was easy to find and right outside Nara Park. The room was fine, great temperature. Wifi was free and worked well. The onsen was perfect for end of day. It is rainy season so no sunset, but when clear would be wonderful. Breakfast was superb, Japanese style. The charcoal grilled fish at your table was a notch above. Will be back

This was a very cool ryokan just steps away from all the sights in Nara. The staff was very helpful with some requests that I had, there's a nice relaxing lounge to have tea in, the Japanese breakfast was phenomenal and they really take care of you there. The open-air hot spring on the top floor with a view of a pagoda at a nearby temple was a great way to unwind at the end of the day.

Highly recommend

This was my first ryokan experience, and I was very impressed. Our room was spacious with a great view of Kofukuji's pagoda. When we arrived, the person at the front desk took us to our room and explained everything. We were also given an afternoon sweet, which was a nice touch. We booked a room with dinner and breakfast included. Dinner was served in our room, and though the server didn't speak any English (so we didn't know what everything was), the food was great and experience of the multi-course meal was wonderful. I am a picky eater, so I didn't eat everything (I passed it to my husband) but I have since read in other reviews that you can request a vegetarian meal. Breakfast was equally as grand, served in the dining room. Note that it is a Japanese breakfast. We also used the private bath (an extra fee of about $32 US). As someone who wouldn't feel relaxed in the public bath, I thought the private bath was totally worth it - relaxing with an incredible view of the pagoda. As it was my first time at a ryokan, I was nervous about the rules and etiquette so I did a lot of googling, and I would also recommend doing that for other first timers. The hotel provides a binder of information, but I found it helpful to also read other tips online.

The experience of the ryokan aside, this property is also in an excellent location in Nara. We were able to walk from the Kintetsu Nara station and walk to Todai-ji Temple, Kasuga-Taisha, Nara Park, etc.

By the way, it is within a 10 minute or so walk to Nara Park and Todiji Shrine and just across the street from the 5 story Pagoda (we could see it lit at night from our room)!

Best. Stay. Ever.

This hotel was sooooooo nice! The staff were very attentive to details. I arrived in a taxi, and one of the staff members met me outside and carried my heavy bag from the taxi to the desk, and then escorted me to my room. Even though I do not speak Japanese, the staff made every effort to make my stay easy... they even brought me an English copy of the Japanese Times, and stopped by my room to deliver tea and coffee throughout the day when I was in my room. I got breakfast and dinner with my stay for both nights, and OMG the food was delicious! I think it may have been the best meals I ate in Japan (other than my lunch in Kobe :) ). I also used the private bath. It was beautiful! I loved everything about my stay there, and would happily go back.

Traditional Ryokan close to everything in Nara!

We were greeted quickly and checked in EARLY--which doesn't usually happen from my experience in Japan. It was an amazing traditional Japanese Inn. I was travelling with my husband my 12 year old son and his friend. We had a wonderful experience and I think everyone should either stay here or in another traditional Ryokan for the experience. We were taken to our room and told about the room, the facilities, given robes and slippers to use in the baths. The baths were AMAZING with a gorgeous view outside. It was very peaceful. The futons were very comfortable. The rooms, bathrooms and facilities were clean. The staff was very helpful with any questions A wonderful experience. I would absolutely stay here again!

The real Japanese deal

The hotel is definitely recommended for a day's stay to experience Japanese culture and heritage. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The hot open bath is worth an experience and is definitely worth the visit. The hotel is located in the city center and is a walkable distance from all the major attractions. The are enough restaurants and convenience stores located with a 5 minute walking radius from the hotel.

I'm guessing that the hotel does not see many foreigners as all the equipment in the room had Japanese instructions for operations. The hotel staff are however very understanding and will put in significant efforts to make sure your stay is as comfortable as can be. They will explain the directions in English to make sure you do not face any difficulties.

There is an open air rooftop bath that is a must do if you stay here.

Slightly Outdated but Nice Rooms

We stayed here just one night. The public spaces and facilities have an outdated, 1970's feel (including the stale scent of nicotine and dust), but the room (we chose the non-smoking modern, Japanese room) was updated, clean, and very comfortable. Robes are included for hanging out in the gender separated outdoor or indoor baths, or as pajamas. The traditional baths were fine, not luxurious, and maybe a little too much of a public bath house feel. Rules for foreigners on proper etiquette are provided. Another option is to rent a private outdoor bath for 3,000¥ (~$30). The hotel strictly follows their check-in time of 3pm, leaving us to wander for a couple hours after a long train ride. Even though we politely asked for an earlier check-in, the hotel would not bend the rules. Smoking is available on the second floor.

Best location in Nara

We only stayed for one night and wanted to experience a ryokan prior to leaving Japan. The location of the hotel is great, the service is exeptional and we loved the onsens. The only negative was that we requested a non smoking room and got a smoking one, which was okay unless you turned on the air conditioner unit and the smell of stale smoke quickly filled the room.

Worth the trip out of the big cities to Nara, there is a lot to do and see here but you will find that the hotel offers enough to keep you occupied.

Extremely good service and food!!!

Asukasou is located in a quiet area very close to the deer park in Nara, it was a 3-5 minute taxi ride from the Nara JR station. The room was very clean and designed to make you feel at home (a Japanese style home). We were served Japanese tea and sweets the moment we arrived our room and the staff were very friendly. We picked the package with dinner and breakfast and I am very glad I did because the food was fantastic and authentic. I really enjoyed the outdoor onsen (hot spring) even though it was a little cold to go from the changing area (downstairs) to the onsen which was upstairs but other than that I loved it. I would definitely come back again and recommend Asukasou to anyone who is planning to stay in Nara.

Fun enjoyable Japanese stay

Great Japanese experience. Very high quality place. Perfect location for touring. Only reservation is the price, but it seems all ryokans are pricey. Great view of pagoda. For a splurge I would stay here again.

A Must Stay Hotel in Nara

Japanese hospitality to its very best. Great location just steps away from the Great Budda. Very friendly and helpful staff just when you need them most, especially when you are in tight schedule on train. \"Luxurious\" outdoor onsen with a wonderful view of the pagoda. A perfect place to stay in Nara!

Very nice traditional ryokan

Really nice traditional ryokan. Excellent Japanese food, nice rooms and traditional Japansese common baths with a view of beautiful pagoda.Fantastically helpful and friendly staff. The building was not very attractive from the outside but everything inside compensated! Close to main sights in Nara.

Magnifique séjour dans cet hôtel typiquement japonais où nous avons dormi sur des futons. Possibilité de privatiser l’onsen pour 3300 yens. Petit déjeuner japonais servi dans des alcôves individualisées. Parking gratuit devant l’hôtel. Personnel agréable et disponible. Très bien situé près du parc.
