    Omotenashi no Yado (Inn of Hospitality)”

    It is difficult for a single person to find an inn that offers 2 meals per night, and most of them are business hotels, but Asukasou welcomes you with warm-hearted hospitality. The meals are very tasty, and even if you don't like something, they will always change it if you inform them in advance (some hotels didn't do this). (There were hotels that did not offer this service.) The rice is especially delicious, and I always end up having another helping. The open-air bath, although not large, is also very nice. My only regret is that the pillows are soft, but other than that, I think this is a great place to stay. I would definitely come back again.

    Great hotel, great rooms and very helpfull staff with a very good english level. You can book a room there without any hesitation. Just be prepared for a japanese breakfast with soup, fish and rice... typical but not always easy to eat as a European !

    Asokasou is very well located next to Nara Park. We had a beautiful tatami room with a view of the famous 5 story pagoda. The service was very friendly, the food was excellent and the onsen was clean, hot, and relaxing. Highly recommended.
