Ryokan Asukasou at the entrancne of Nara park
Featuring relaxing massages and public baths, Ryokan Asukasou at the entrancne of Nara park is just a 3-minute walk from Nara’s Kofuku Temple. Rooms feature tatami (woven-straw) flooring, a flat-screen TV and private bathroom. Guests can choose a room with Western beds or a room with Japanese futons. All rooms are air-conditioned and feature pleasant woodwork. Fresh green tea and cable TV are on offer. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Train Station and 1.5 km from JR Nara Train Station. Todai-ji Temple is a 20-minute walk. Bicycles can be rented. A reservable family bath is available for a fee, and guests can enjoy singing karaoke. Free Wi-Fi is provided in the lobby. A Japanese multi-course (kaiseki) dinner is served at Kachomon Restaurant or Suiren Restaurant. Please note that Kofukuji's Five-Story Pagoda will undergo extensive preservation and repair work for the first time in 120 years since the Meiji era. The planned repairs include re-roofing, repair of eaves and wooden parts, and replastering of the walls. We have already commenced full-scale construction to build a temporary roof (a construction cover, approximately 60 meters high). Once the temporary roof is completed, the Five-Story pagoda will not be visible for the foreseeable future. Currently, due to the construction at half the height of the pagoda, the view is not as shown in the photographs. Please take this into consideration when making a reservation.
