Tsukihitei Ryokan

4.0 star property
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (45)
"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...

"Relax in the bath set on the balcony while watching the wonderful view. This is a hideaway inn that Japanese people don't know too much. We recommend this ryokan if you want to experience a real high quality Japanese ryokan service. In order to do so, you must also learn Japanese culture and manners before staying."
