Staying at Shikitei was a wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities were tranquil and beautiful. Nara Park is so close, we were able to get my grandaughter feed the deer and run around even on our walk to the train station. Our stay matched the pictures and reviews that I read - such a great experience! I had a Shiatsu massage there - it was very reasonable and so good that I wish I could have a massage like that at home!

Fantastisk upplevelse, personalen var varm och omhändertagande, vi bjöds på matcha på traditionsenligt sätt i ett te-rum innan incheckningen fullbordades på rummet med ännu en kopp te och traditionella sötsaker. Fina rum i riktig gammal japansk stil, rymligt för fyra vuxna. Frukosten var fantastisk. Något hårda/tunna futons, men är man van vid dem är det inga problem.
