Shikitei Reviews

The service experience was absolutely top-notch, I have to give it a big thumbs-up! The room was spacious and I really liked it. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and polite. The location is excellent, making it super convenient to get anywhere. Absolutely amazing!

Best Japanese traditional hotel I’ve ever lived, it’s so clean and the service is really nice! Will definitely recommend it to my friends!

The hotel provided excellent services to guests as VIP. We were happy to stay there two days and enjoyed very much. Location is also perfect. 

Hotel just next to the Nara park. Full board with traditional dinner serving and room is very spacious with hotel onsen.

Excellent

The location is convenient, right near Nara Park! Shiki-tei has been open for over a century, so the interior has a vintage feel, but overall it's clean and comfortable – highly recommended! The staff are all friendly and welcoming! You can even experience traditional tea ceremony during check-in – a truly memorable experience! I stayed in the "Matsu no Ma" (Pine Room), which has a private indoor hot spring bath that can accommodate three adults at once – very comfortable! The only downside is that the public bath area is a bit small, but overall, I was satisfied with my stay!

The room I booked was very large. It was a historic Japanese B&B. Breakfast and dinner were included. Each room had its own bathtub. The bedding on the tatami was very comfortable.

It is indeed a long-established Japanese inn in Nara. Great location, hidden in a corner of Nara Park, quiet environment, morning and evening at any time to see the deer up close. Although some room types rely on the road, the sound insulation is also done very well. Outside the door is the torii gate of Kasuga Taisha Sando and the Kikusui-lou eel rice on the other, close to walking to Fumi-do or Nara National Museum. Experienced both room types, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, with private soup, the "moon viewing" suite can overlook a corner of the desert pool, distant view of the five-story tower of Xingfuji Temple and Nara city view ~ However, the five-story tower is currently under overhaul, hiding in the tall scaffolding. The hot spring public bath "Eternal Soup" is also worth experiencing, feeling the effect of treating muscle soreness is better than the one in the room. The breakfast and dinner are exquisite, with local Nara flavors and seasonal characteristics, which fits the name of the "Four Seasons Pavilion". The service staff would quietly serve seaweed rice balls and refreshments in the room, which was a little surprise to see after the soup.

Very cool ryokan, food, location and attitude at the hotel👌👌👌

Neat and clean. It's right next to Nara Park. Breakfast and dinner are exquisite. You can hear the noise of cars passing by in the room facing the street at night and in the morning. The service staff is very polite and delivers it to the gate. There is a small indoor bathing pool and tatami mats. Very suitable for family or friends traveling

The room is very large, with one bedroom and one living room, traditional Japanese style, breakfast and dinner are great, seasonal kaiseki cuisine.

Spacious and comfortable, great location, and very good service attitude.

Very good hotel, breakfast and dinner are included, the dinner is very good, the hotel service and hot spring are also very good, it is worth recommending

The location is good, next to Nara Park and Asahi Taisha Shrine, and not far from the pedestrian street and other attractions. You can see deer right out of the gate. The house is very old with no more than 10 guest rooms and is well maintained. You must take off your shoes when entering the hotel. When we took a taxi to the door, the driver ran in and asked the waiter to come out to greet us. The waiters are polite and considerate, but their English communication is a bit difficult... The hotel's specialty is that it includes breakfast and dinner. The breakfast is a delicious Japanese set meal and the dinner is an exquisite kaiseki meal ~ This is why I booked this hotel.
