Asukasou Inn in the Ancient City of Nara

Both the Room and the food were wonderful, and every staff member we met was incredibly kind. Even those we don’t usually have the chance to meet, such as the housekeeping team, greeted us warmly and made us feel energized as well. My elderly father was traveling with us, so we moved at a slower pace and our meal also took longer than usual, but the staff kindly adjusted to our timing and spoke to us gently, which helped my father relax and enjoy his meal. We’re already checking our schedule to see when we can visit again. Thank you in advance for your continued hospitality.

I chose this Accommodation because it’s just a few minutes’ walk from Kofuku-ji Temple and Naramachi, and it offers parking as well as a large public bath and an open-air bath. They kindly allowed me to park even before check-in (free during my stay), and also recommended the complimentary lobby drink service, so I could take a break before heading out sightseeing. The staff’s smiles, fresh flowers arranged in the hallways and restrooms, and the complimentary ice cream were all thoughtful touches!It’s not flashy, but it’s clean and well-balanced in many ways.If I had to mention one downside, perhaps due to renovation work on Kofuku-ji’s five-story pagoda, privacy netting blocked the view from the open-air bath.
