Tsukihitei

This is a must visit place! Beautiful place and great service. Served two meals and very tasty. The only minor point is check out time I'd 10am which is very early for travelers, especially when you arrive late (the night before ). Staff are very friendly and speak English well.

管家兩位阿姨服務很周到，懷石料理和温泉泡湯出乎意料的好，就一頓飯真的是兩小時的節奏，會提前跟你約定晚餐、早餐、晚湯和早湯時間，很準時，建議不要遲到。料理都是現做的，早餐吃懷石還是有點太豐富了，下次繼續住，山裡很幽靜。Ps：休息室裏的零食和飲料是需要收費的，當然也不貴。

服務非常好，但是山裡蟲子很多

My first ryokan experience. Place was perfect. We got a corner room which was very comfortable. Complete with floor beds and an ensuite bathroom. Although try one of the two public baths. Food was superb, hats off to the chef! They served us an amazing 9 course dinner and the best traditional Japanese breakfast ive had. Service was beyond reproach. Do try it.

One night is definitely not enough! I was hesitant about staying in a ryokan and just wanted to try, but we loved it so much! The food was superb and rooms beautifully appointed. There were also alot of thoughtful touches throughout our stay. I don’t want to ruin the surprise so just come! You won’t regret it!

Location, service, food and tranquility were all amazing. You won’t regret your stay here (ask for the Sakura Room).

This is a 10 out of 10. The location at the edge of the forest is spectacular. The service is impeccable. We are vegan and they accommodated us with absolutely delicious meals. It is located just on the outskirts of the Nara Deer Park where you are surrounded by a lovely forest ambience and yet you are just a short hike from the Park and its bustling surrounds. The trail just outside the Ryoken takes you up the mountain.It is simply an awesome place!

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.

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.
