Best location
Pros:

The best location , atmosphere and just everything. Would highly recommend staying here and overall Nara is not for just a day trip - to wake up in here and see the deers all over without crowds arriving is another level of experience.

Perfect ryokan stay in Nara
Pros:

Everything you’d expect from an exquisite authentic traditional 100-year old Japanese inn. Hospitality galore, beauty around every corner, welcome tea ceremony, Onsen bath, multi course dinner, floor futons in a room with several sections. Take the in-room shiatsu massage option!

Cons:

Food is adventurous, not made for kids.

Shikitei a memorable experience
Pros:

We loved every single second of our stay at Shikitei, it was amazing in every sense, Personal was so friendly and always on top of things, their care and attention to details was very impressive, we felt so loved and well taken care of. The food was another level of experience, all the courses were delicious!, the room: was the best addition to our trip in Japan, waking up to so beautiful views and even before sleeping we could see some deers from our room, we also had a massage in the room which was so relaxing after many days of walking in Tokyo and Kyoto.
A must experience if you stop by Nara! thanks to the wonderful team, it was a memorable experience and will definitely will go back! we were a family of 2 adults and 2 kids, they enjoyed so much wearing their PJ's and sleeping on their beds, and the dinner was so thoughtful they ate everything. thank you!

高いお金を払って、それだけの値打ちが感じられなかった。
Pros:

立地が東大寺や春日大社に近く、朝の散歩が気持ちよかった。

Cons:

石油が入ってこないということが関係しているのか、お風呂がかなりぬるく、温水プールのような温度だった。
ボイラーがこわれたという説明だった。
食事も何か物足りない感じだった。
部屋も無理に上の階に作ったような、３階まで階段で上がらなければならなかった。

Trevlig, traditionellt roykan vid Nara park
Pros:

Oerhört trevlig och gullig personal. Kul med teceremonien när vi kom. Njöt av ett bad innan middagen. Trevligt traditionellt japanskt rum.

Cons:

Vi har aldrig ätit denna typ av kansei-mat tidigare, och även om den säkerligen var perfekt lagad så var det något som vi hade svårt att tycka om. Detta reflekterar dock mer oss och vår ovana vid den typ av mat. (Ofta degig, klibbig och utan kryddor, men med några fräscha inslag).
