Nice choice in Nara. Close to the park and temples. Walkable from Kintetsu train station. It did smell like green tea… upstairs a traditional hot spring bath.

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.

Fabulous. Could not have been better. Across the street from the tourist office and within walking distance of all the gorgeous shrines, museums, and historic points of interest. Also easily walked to very special restaurants after using the hot baths. Most important, the staff could not have been more wonderful. They went above and beyond on every occasion — including escorting us to our cab with umbrellas in the rain. Our favorite so far.

What I wanted: a traditional ryokan with an onsen, close to both the Nara train station & the Nara deer park. Asukasou checked all the boxes and was within my budget. My husband & 4 year old son and I arrived in Nara by train, and were able to walk our luggage over to the hotel and than go and see the nearby shrines and deer park. We than returned to the hotel where we had the private onsen booked and were able to clean up before dinner. I booked the traditional 10 tatami mat room which had an entryway, a toilet room with a tiny sink, a shower room with a larger sink and vanity, the tatami mat room and a large balcony looking toward the deer park. Unfortunate timing of our trip overlapped with repair of the large shrine which would normally create a lovely view, but it is covered in scaffolding for its renovation. Dinner and breakfast were wonderful. I don’t have the words. Traditional kaiseki dinner and traditional Japanese breakfast, served to us in a private dining room. The kids meals were unreal. So much food for my picky son to choose from. Shrimp, chicken, hamburger, steak, fish, salad, sausage, dumplings, omelet - all on one tray so he could pick and choose! The common areas could use a little love, specifically new carpet. The private onsen was lovely & spotlessly clean, we had a great time making use of that and playing eye spy with my son through the large picture window. My son was so thrilled with our “sleepover” on the floor (traditional futons laid on the floor
