Shikitei

Welcome to Shikitei, your charming ryokan escape nestled in the heart of Nara, Japan. Imagine waking up to the serene beauty of a national park right on your doorstep. Shikitei places you in an enviable location, mere steps from the expansive Nara Park, famous for its friendly wild deer. It’s the perfect base for exploring the natural wonders and rich cultural heritage this historic city has to offer.

Just a leisurely 14-minute stroll will bring you to the magnificent Todaiji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site housing a colossal bronze Buddha. For a more tranquil experience, the picturesque Ukimido Hall is also conveniently close, just 0.3 miles (0.5 km) away, offering stunning views over the water.

While Shikitei offers an authentic Japanese lodging experience, it's worth noting that the wider Nara area provides access to attractions such as Nara Kenko Land, located 7.3 miles (11.7 km) from the ryokan, perfect for a day of family fun. We pride ourselves on offering excellent value, often with rates lower than major booking sites like Booking.com, Expedia, and LateRooms. Plus, our Best Price Match guarantee ensures you're always getting a fantastic deal.*
