The dinner and lunch were great. Being right in the park made it super easy to visit the temple and feed the deer. The public bath is on the smaller side, but does the job.

They began our visit with a tea ceremony. The room was spacious and the public bath was enjoyable. They provided cool towels and ice water in the evening. They also provided very nice wagashi. We loved the location in the Nara Park. We could see deer just outside our window. The futnons were very comfortable and rooms clean. ##### Damon Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staying at Shikitei was a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities were tranquil and beautiful. Nara Park is so close, we were able to get my grandaughter feed the deer and run around even on our walk to the train station. Our stay matched the pictures and reviews that I read - such a great experience! I had a Shiatsu massage there - it was very reasonable and so good that I wish I could have a massage like that at home! ##### Ellen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Fabienne May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location in a typical ryokan. Loved the comunal baths. The bathroom is small but has a bath and shower too. The lighting in the main room (ie the bedroom) (stark white light on the ceiling) and in the restaurant was unpleasant. One of the restaurant staff was very unpleasant - insisting we arrive before time and leave before the restaurant was closed. The japanese typical dinner course was very japanese, ie beautiful but tasteless and just plain weird. ##### Fabienne Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dayana Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at this traditional ryokan was a highlight of our journey, offering an authentic immersion into Japanese hospitality. Upon arrival, we were welcomed at a picturesque, temple like entrance and promptly greeted by attentive staff. Following the custom, our shows were stored downstairs before we were guided into a tranquil tea room. There we were offered hot towels, matcha tea, and delightful snacks, while the staff efficiently transported our luggage to our room and prepared it for our comfort. The Ryokans personalized service extended to dining arrangements allowing us to select our preferred times for breakfast and dinner. Additionally they facilitated hourly massage sessions through reputable third party service, enhancing our relaxation during the stay. Situated adjacent to Nara Park, the location was unparalleled. We enjoyed leisurely walks amidst the freely roaming deer, known for their charming bows to visitors offering crackers available from local vendors. The proximity to numerous shops and restaurants further enriched our experience providing ample opportunities for exploration and dining. The only minor drawback was the absence of air conditioning. Fortunately, during our late March visit, the evening air was pleasantly cool, allowing us to comfortably crack a window for ventilation. Overall, our stay at this ryokan was a memorable and culturally enriching experience. ##### Dayana Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### marc Nov 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place with the friendliest and most accommodating staff.

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. ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefano Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing and unique experience ##### Stefano Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Naomi May 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hospitality, the property and the food were exceptional!

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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e46f1b6e-0096-401f-95c6-e1db9c3859a2-1754215603527.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba8ec0df-2685-444e-a011-7b9c06e86e8b-1754215605015.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2ac84775-8788-432f-9b39-d0ff8495c524-1754215604296.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b3388de2-2882-4d47-8c82-c5998e369a7d-1754215604209.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Brittany Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### jing jing Jun 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 地点绝佳，饭店的服务人员太好了，非常热心。推荐包晚餐和早餐，就在奈良公园旁边，唯一的缺点就是楼梯较高，如果你的膝盖有问题肯定无法承受。 ##### jing jing Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frida Mar 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastisk upplevelse, personalen var varm och omhändertagande, vi bjöds på matcha på traditionsenligt sätt i ett te-rum innan incheckningen fullbordades på rummet med ännu en kopp te och traditionella sötsaker. Fina rum i riktig gammal japansk stil, rymligt för fyra vuxna. Frukosten var fantastisk.
