Tout était parfait, un service exceptionnel avec repas compris et servi dans la chambre. Un lieu magnifique au cœur du parc de Nara, à proximité directe des biches/cerfs. Je recommande vivement si vous souhaitez une expérience au calme et dans un logement traditionnel japonais.

Rien :)

Le ryokan est situé sur les hauteurs du parc de Nara, non loin du sanctuaire Kasuga-taisha (visite magique tôt le matin avec les daims). Très belle et vaste chambre japonaise traditionnelle donnant sur le jardin. Personnel très aimable et prévenant. Petit-déjeuner traditionnel délicieux. Un petit onsen est disponible à certains horaires. Une belle adresse !

Le repas n'était pas prévu dans la réservation et nous en avons été averti avant. Le diner se compose de 12 petits plats comme dans un restaurant gastronomique. C'était un véritable bonheur pour le palais et un véritable voyage dans la cuisine japonaise raffinée.

- The food, very artistically crafted and beautifully served. If you are not a fish person you might struggle, there's a lot of raw /strongly flavoured fish dishes. - The environment. You can walk straight into the Kasuga Forest, it's very peaceful and surrounded by pristine nature. - The staff were very friendly, but please be aware that they speak very little English, so knowing some Japanese would be very helpful.

- Very late check-in time. In our other accommodations, we were always able to check-in before the quoted time if the room was ready before. Here we were unable to check in until the exact time quoted, so we didn't feel like we had much time to enjoy the place. - Lack of privacy. If you are expecting an experience like a hotel, then this is not the right place for you. The staff constantly come in and out of your room to set tables, serve courses of the meal and set up the futon beds, then they come in early in the morning to wake you up and remove the futon beds. It's not relaxing at all. - No private shower facilities. If you're a gaijin like me, you might be shocked by the lack of a private shower, but I guess I should have done my homework more. There is only a public shower and onsen here, so if you don't feel comfortable baring it all in front of strangers, then this may not be the right place for you
