Introduction of the Accommodation

A location surrounded by the forest of Kasuga Taisha Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site preserved for over 1,000 years through generations.
An auberge Hotel nestled at the entrance to the Mizutani approach “Nara Kasuga Shikanoya” Adjacent to the forest of Kasuga Taisha Shrine, this is a truly rare location even by global standards. Enjoy tranquility, nature, and a refined stay.

Shikanoya is a small luxury Hotel with only five guest rooms. By limiting the number of rooms, we provide attentive, personalized service and a calm, relaxing stay for every guest. The property features garden-view spaces, a restaurant, and a bar, offering an unhurried atmosphere away from the bustle. For added comfort, we also provide free private parking and luggage storage.

To harmonize with the surrounding nature, we avoided excessive decoration and carefully arranged stones and greenery.
