The Shikitei is right on the edge of Nara Park - essentially it is in the park. In terms of position it couldn't be better. It had all the comforts of a ryokan including a great onsen bath,, and wonderful staff. I can't recommend it more highly.

A small ryokan almost inside Nara Park.

10.0

The location of this ryokan at the edge of Nara Park is super, make it walkable right outside the gate. The small ryokan showed its past glory with a bar/restaurant and natural hotspring onsen. The service staffs were very attentive and professional. The breakfast and dinner were both impressive. We were very happy with our stay.

This property was one of the highlights of our trip, and an experience that we will remember for many years. The service was excellent and property was beautiful. We especially enjoyed the kaseki meal set. Every course was beautifully prepared, and the chef paid special attention to my partner's shrimp allergy. I opted to add a massage after the dinner servcie, and it was honestly one of the best massages I have ever had. The masseuse used the perfect amount of pressure and I slept like a baby afterward. The baths were lovely, with a variety of amenities available for after. Having a cold beer after a hot bath was amazing, especially in the comfy yukatas provided. The provided breakfast was beautiful, and served with care. I enjoyed every bit. The staff had limited english, but this did not diminish the service quality at all. Be respectful and use a translation app and you should be okay if this is a concern. It was a very hot week in Nara, and on our way out they filled our bottles with water and ice. The service here was exceptional and I hope to be blessed enough to visit again.
