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!

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.

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.

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. Något hårda/tunna futons, men är man van vid dem är det inga problem.
