You won't believe this beautiful Japanese hotel! It has open air onsen with views of Nara City at sunset. The onsen is located at the top floor.

Some rooms come with their own private onsen. All rooms have tatami floor and look ultra modern while still preserving that old school Japanese style. I was surprised to see the rooftop at night with the views of the moon. So beautiful.

The cost starts from $200 per night for two people. The hotel is literally just minutes walk from the Nara Park. I can't believe I didn't know about this beautiful ryokan with onsen before!

Zaborin is the most incredible ryokan with private onsen I've ever stayed in.
This is not your typical ryokan because the accommodation itself is basically a collection of 15 villas. Each of the villas has its own indoor and outdoor onsen.

This is ultra luxurious, especially given that your views are of a stunning Hokkaido forest.
