Ryokan Asukasou at the entrancne of Nara park

Total number of rooms: 41 | Prices start from 239.28 US$

Wake up to the sound of temple bells and deer footsteps, literally! Ryokan Asukasou places you right at the entrance of Nara Park, and the best part is that you might spot a deer while sipping your morning tea. If you want a hotel in Nara with authentic character and unbeatable location, this place hits the mark.

The rooms were recently renovated, and blend classic ryokan charm with updated comfort. Rooms are Japanese style, with tatami floors, futons, and just the right touch of modern: private bathrooms, air conditioning, coffee makers, and even a washer/dryer in some units.

You’ll also find a rooftop open-air bath with views!, a lounge area, and a relaxing terrace. There’s a public onsen! But you can also book a private one if you prefer peace and quiet.

Meals are beautifully presented, but note they lean traditional, expect tofu, miso, and grilled fish.

Good to know: This ryokan offers both Japanese and Western-style breakfasts.
