朝日館

Asahikan is rustic mountain lodge which introduces regional cuisine like raw deer sashimi, wild boar hotpot, and barley rice porridge. The friendly owner makes rice using a wood burning stove called a “kamado” and showed us her kitchen.
The Taisho era glass windows were hand crafted and the building is a traditional inn with paper partitions between rooms, futons, karosene space heaters, and communal bathrooms, and sinks. It’s an authentic experience if you’d like to enjoy a stay in the Nara countryside.

The building was so pretty full of things of the past. The owner was such a nice lady and the food was amazing!

The meals and the landscape

The meals were delicious ♡ also I loved sleeping in the futon

Asahikan is a traditional Japanese hotel on a very rural mountainside. The staff are warm and welcoming and do their best to ensure the comfort of their guests. It has a beautiful garden which can be seen while walking to and from the shared washroom on the second floor. The food is prepared with love and are sure to make Japanese foodies very happy.

Felt really nice to be surrounded by nature and the home made dessert was really delicious. It was great to wear the traditional clothes and the hospitality was brilliant.

Traditional Ryokan, super super super delicious food, super super super kind staff! In the middle of the mountains, to spend time close to the nature, with the possibility to join many outdoors activities with the local tours staff :D

The food was very good, but the rooms weren't very well catered too (blankets, heaters, etc.)
