Just steps away from Kofuku-ji Temple, Nara Park, and the freely roaming deer—our location puts the heart of Nara right at your doorstep. Some rooms offer views of Sarusawa Pond, where you can enjoy stunning sunsets in a peaceful atmosphere. “Yoshidaya” is a modern take on a traditional ryokan, originally founded in the early Meiji era. Recently renovated, it blends classic Japanese charm with comfort, offering features like private baths and rooms with semi-open-air baths—perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast is a special experience, featuring freshly steamed rice cooked in a traditional kamado (hearth-style cooker). Served with seasonal side dishes and local flavors, our Japanese-style set meal provides a warm and nourishing start to your day. Ideal for couples, families, or friends, Yoshidaya offers a relaxing base for exploring Nara’s rich history, beautiful streets, and friendly deer.

Located in the ancient capital where Heijo-kyo was established during the Nara period, Nara is renowned as the terminus of the Silk Road—a place where Tenpyo culture flourished. Today, the region remains deeply steeped in history, with countless traces of that era still preserved, including World Heritage Sites such as Todai-ji Temple and many other historic shrines and temples. Every year, Nara warmly welcomes millions of visitors who come to experience its rich cultural heritage and timeless atmosphere.
