The staff was lovely and the room quite comfortable, by Western standards for a Japanese room (although the futons were by far the hardest and most uncomfortable of the three ryokans we visited). The meals lived up to the reviews, beautifully presented true kaiseki. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriela Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Das Ryokan ist sehr schön im Wald gelegen Das Erlebnis ist eine Bereicherung.

A hidden gem right in the heart of Nara Park, tucked away on a small hill, surrounded by verdant greens. Purely magical, a sanctuary that stands in stark contrast the frenzy of the deer feeding tourists and the bustle of Osaka! There are 3 western style rooms (useful for those who can’t sleep on tatami floors), underfloor heating, air conditioning and private dining rooms with personalised service! We felt so pampered. Service was top notch with one of the best kaiseki dinners and breakfast we’ve ever had. Recommend room with half board. Found the traditional mattresses a tad thin for me but truly no complaints! Would recommend 2 nights to fully unwind and explore surrounds. Well maintained, beautiful rooms with minibar stocked - all inclusive! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FF5F0588FBB706795921F7B30BB472AC3F6245971738483947479.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B43A36A5FADDD8904D048293355782B5F999CE5A1738483947698.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CB690D136041DBFBAFEDE62EF694E4465C2653D81738483947452.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4D33A24E4111212C45BF50292BB354EA563735051738483947410.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sheila Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jan 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed for two nights in one of the traditional rooms with kaiseki and it was one of the best experiences we have had anywhere in the world.

Our stay at this ryokan was truly the most relaxing and beautiful experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such genuine hospitality that we felt like cherished guests. The traditional tatami rooms were impeccably clean and serene, with a breathtaking view of the surrounding nature that felt like a scene from a postcard. The onsen was an absolute highlight—soaking in the soothing hot spring waters under the open sky was pure bliss. Every detail, from the carefully arranged yukata to the thoughtfully prepared tea set in our room, reflected the ryokan’s dedication to providing an authentic and peaceful escape. The kaiseki dinner was an unforgettable culinary journey, with each dish meticulously crafted and presented like a work of art. Breakfast the next morning was equally exquisite, featuring fresh, local ingredients that perfectly complemented the tranquil ambiance. We left feeling completely rejuvenated and already dreaming of our return. This ryokan is not just a place to stay—it’s an experience of Japanese culture, hospitality, and relaxation at its finest. Highly recommended to anyone seeking a haven of peace and beauty. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4884F700DBAE7CFE36C0663C445B15773EE813D61733903398153.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B623687B4BA5646AF59EB764649E2C2948A6CD251733903403085.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ledia edlin Oct 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fue la mejor experiencia de mi vida !!!!

The trail just outside the Ryoken takes you up the mountain.It is simply an awesome place! ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved the suite we had with 2 twins. The beds are more like full size and are together in the huge bedroom. The suite is similar to a large apartment. We were greeted by the most amazing and friendly staff. They come out personally to greet you at arrival and to say good bye when checking out. The dinner was in our personal suite and consisted of 10 courses that were delicious. There are free drinks and beers in the refrigerator and we purchased sake for dinner. The breakfast was served in our personal suite and was traditional Japanese breakfast. Our attendants were so sweet for dinner and breakfast. They made me feel so welcome and special. I would say this was probably one of the best parts of my trip to Japan. If I return to Nara Park in the future I would definitely stay here again. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### ken Oct 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Once in a lifetime traditional Japanese experience Tucked in the hills of Nara this four room Inn is super private. The ladies dressed in their kimonos provide 5 star customer service. With the kaiseki meals you get a throwback to traditional Japanese customs during your stay here. This is the most traditional Japanese stay you can experience, a true ryokan. Here are a couple things I did not see in other reviews I read. The room has a traditional bathtub and shower setup but there are also two much larger, nicer setups you can “book by time”. Seeing that there are only a handful of rooms these are easily, readily available and private. I would highly recommend this. Lastly, you are in the mountains of an old traditional ryokan. There are spiders, critters of all sorts that make their way into your room and around your meals. This is the only downside we experienced but I’m not sure how you can avoid it being nestled into the forest. This is not the 100 story mandarin oriental. This is a portal back in time so just go into your stay with that in mind. ![walkway between rooms](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1B0462313DB124B2C82183ADABB4B8323AAC5E7C1696172512267.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![private bath you can book for yourself ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1AE901318C04EB6C16CCE0B4562D1EB441CBC82B1696172513320.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![kaiseki dinner. basically michelin. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/525B7666D321C83E01E1AAA74D2C0E687AA5AA101696172510066.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![breakfast ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2B428E47C4B1BF657974D4F49BE7C27CF06FE74B1696172513278.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ken Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuexin Sep 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An excellent choice to stay in this 200-year old property.

It is everything you will want in a Ryokan experience. I believe we experienced the most traditional Ryokan in Japan. We really did step back into time for two days and loved every aspect of it. We decided to stay two nights to really immerse ourselves in the experience. Upon arrival, we were given a tour and then shown our accommodations, which overlooked the woods of the Mt. Kasuga Primeval Forest. We were greeted with ceremonial matcha green tea. Our dinners and breakfast were absolutely incredible. The presentation was artwork. We were served in a private dining room that was connected to our sleeping room, which made it all feel very personal and private. All the meals were distinctive in their flavors and tastes. Walking the line between thoughtfulness and artwork, the food was just another extension of all the other wonderful elements we experienced while staying at Tsukihitei. The two bathing houses were gorgeous and luxurious, lit up by stained glass windows. The aesthetic felt like it belonged in an ancient forest. The customer service was top notch. Everyone was so kind to any need we had during our time there. From our first greeting to our last, we felt very taken care of. I will never forget how magical the experience was. I hope to go back there one day and stay with them again. ##### Elizabeth ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom May 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We spent a couple weeks in Japan, and our stay at Tsukihi-tei was one of the hightlights!

They are located at the heart of Nara park forest, and feature one of the best kaiseki courses in the nation. All in all, one of the best traditional Japanese ryokan experiences. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LISA Nov 30, 2018 And absolutely fabulous and exceptional experience. The dinner was gourmet down to every detail. They asked our preferences before we got there and met all of our requests. The breakfast was out standing. I now know that eight Tatami mats is a measurement of how big the room is. The public baths are amazing. When you come in you choose your time for meals, and then you choose your time to use the public bath area. This was a fantastic place in a gorgeous setting. ##### LISA Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nate, Bay Area, CA Aug 13, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This was really a wonderful way to end our trip to Japan. This is a beautiful, clean, ryokan, nestled deep into the woods, away from the temples and crowds. The kaiseki meals were excellent -- dinner rivaled the meal we had at a 3-Michelin-starred kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto a couple days earlier (breakfast is pictured). Unlike other ryokans, the meals are served in a private dining room, rather than in the bedroom. The baths were excellent. And everyone on the hotel staff was extraordinarily polite and helpful -- a common refrain in Japan, but still a great thing every time. Highly recommended. ##### Nate Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tatsuro May 20, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 贅沢な料亭旅館 春日大社の奥の原生林に囲まれた静かな料亭旅館で一日三組限定の贅沢な宿。二泊したがスタッフの対応もきめ細かく、いきとどいて最高でした。また奈良に行ったら是非泊まりたい旅館です。 ##### Tatsuro Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HEE May 13, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 조용하게 자연속에서 푹쉬고 싶은 분들은 적극 추천드립니다 ##### HEE ### 10/10 Excellent #### YR, Taiwan Jun 8, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 很棒的日式旅館 如果想體驗日式風情的話是非常好的選擇。無論是景觀、房間、服務、膳食都非常優秀，令人還是想回味，值得推薦的旅館。 ##### YR Stayed 1 night in May 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono](https://www.expedia.ca/Niseko-Hotels-Park-Hyatt-Niseko-Hanazono.h38527384.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.ca/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Chariot Hokutoshichisei 135°](https://www.expedia.ca/Awaji-Hotels-Grand-Chariot-Hokutoshichisei-135.h34745847.Hotel-Information) > > [Yumotokan](https://www.expedia.ca/Otsu-Hotels-Yumotokan.h7028149.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h5117262.Hotel-Information) > > [Kawaguchiko Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kawaguchiko-Hotel.h12991356.Hotel-Information) > > [ASO Farm Land](https://www.expedia.ca/Aso-Hotels-ASO-Farm-Land.h11868090.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Yamanakako-Hotels-Fuji-Marriott-Hotel-Lake-Yamanaka.h17705474.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention](https://www.expedia.ca/Niseko-Hotels-Rusutsu-Resort-Hotel-Convention.h3948188.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tokyo-Bay.h35893302.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Speedway Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Oyama-Hotels-Fuji-Speedway-Hotel.h82927328.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d42-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Clad](https://www.expedia.ca/Gotemba-Hotels-Hotel-Clad.h38381266.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Bessho SASA](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Bessho-SASA.h14626817.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.ca/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Oriental-Hotel-Tokyo-Bay.h1041843.Hotel-Information) > > [Ooike Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Ooike-Hotel.h5620879.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vista Fuji Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-La-Vista-Fuji-Kawaguchiko.h15976788.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeland Hotel Mizunosato](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Lakeland-Hotel-Mizunosato.h10608801.Hotel-Information) > > [Fufu Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-FUFU-KAWAGUCHIKO.h33760212.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji Onsenji Yumedono](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-Onsenji-Yumedono.h9635420.Hotel-Information) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.ca/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-HOTEL-MYSTAYS-Fuji-Onsen-Resort.h16114229.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.ca/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information)
