Attractively located in the Nara Park district of Nara, 四季亭 Shikitei is situated 2.3 km from Nara Station, 19 km from Iwafune Shrine and 22 km from Higashiosaka Hanazono Rugby Stadium. Featuring a restaurant, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests. I loved our stay at Shikitei with its timeless beautiful, excellent service and scrumptious food. I will definitely have to come back! Excellent location - Ryokan is situated right at Nara Park! This traditional ryokan has kept it timeless beauty with breathtaking views. It is well maintained with lots of care. Excellent service from the staff. They were always tucked away but quietly waiting to see if you needed anything. The staff were local and so English wasn’t fluent but there were no communication issues. The welcome tea ceremony was a traditional one. The matcha tea was frothy and slightly bitter served with a small red bean cake sweet. We wouldn’t want to try it anywhere else such a great experience! After this we were brought to our room where there was yet another yummy plum salty tea with small sweet! The room was beautiful with excellent view! The futon sleep with the stiff pillow was so comfy! The Onsen at the ryokan opens early and closed later. The facilities were great with all bath amenities provided. Our stay had half board with kaiseki dinner and then traditional Japanese breakfast. Both meals you will be enjoying a work of visual art and scrumptious melodies of flavours. Beside us were all Japan nationals so you know you are at the right place of their own resident visit for short vacays! Such a magnificent stay! I will definitely return!!!

The owners were incredibly kind, even taking me cherry blossom viewing in Asuka Village. The location is quiet yet convenient, with a supermarket and convenience store nearby. I borrowed a bicycle from the owner to explore charming Imai-chō village with its beautiful old buildings and cafes and shops - a highlight of my trip! From Miwa Station, it's easy to hike the historic Yamanobe-no-michi trail to Tenri. Loved that too.
