The best thing was the way they made you feel welcome and comfortable every minute of every day, starting with the woman managing Mikasa’s town office (a delight) to all the people at the hotel or driving the buses. Once we got to the property on the afternoon bus, we appreciated the warm welcome and 1-1 explanations of how things worked and when our meal times were and especially when and where to wear indoor shoes. Our room was beautiful and comfortable and we had a lovely view of Nara from our large and comfortable terrace. The onsen was so nice and clean, and having an outdoor onsen option was particularly nice because it was not quite as hot as the indoor hot bath. We got half board with out reservation, and the food was simply incredible especially the sukiyaki hotpot we shared for dinner the second night. The breakfasts were sumptuous, but I am not a breakfast eater so I found all that food a bit overwhelming. I did my best to try some of everything because so much effort went into making it so special.

Mikasa was a wonderful place to stay for a visit in Nara. Perfect place to unplug and treat yourself, thanks to the atmosphere of the hotel and the a tentative staff, that went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The rooms and onsen are complete with all amenities needed. The onsens in particular are beautiful and relaxing, and are available late in the evening, so can be used after dinner as well. The traditional dinner and breakfast in a personal dining room are an experience in itself. Especially recommend the room with the personal hot bathtub. The room is very spacious and the futons the staff lay for the evening are surprisingly comfortable after a trip to the onsen. If we ever get the chance to visit Japan and Nara, we will definatelly book another stay.

Where to start? This ryokan is located in between the mountains inside Nara Park. This makes for a beautiful scenery although only accesible by taxi or the provided free shuttle bus. The room itself was spacious and traditional japanese style, which included a balcony. All included meals were absolutely fantastic; truly a worthy experience. We went to the onsen at night and we had it all for ourselves, which added a touch more of relaxation to the bath. Lastly, all the staff, from the front desk to the restaurant, were quite friendly and spoke english. They even provided us with some free tours and activities. We are so glad that we decided to go for a stay like this one here in Nara instead of in Kyoto.

The location was great, very accessible via public transit as we took a train from Kyoto. The shuttle service provided by the hotel was efficient and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The meals provided (kaiseki dinner and breakfast) were also excellent! We booked a room with a private bath and it was spacious and comfortable. I also liked that the hotel provided a quick evening tour (free shuttle) to Wakakusayama Hill, which overlooks the city of Nara. While it was quite cloudy (we couldn't appreciate the stars in the sky) the view of the cityscape from the hill was breathtaking.

Since it was a Japanese traditional style room it was VERY SPACIOUS, which is really important when you are carrying as much luggage as we did (group of 3). Amazing view of Nara, amazing staff, amazing location, very quiet, great indoors and outdoors onsen, they provide you with a yukata and haori to use within the ryokan. They even move your luggage to the information office which is in front of Nara Station so you don’t have to worry about it. Last but not least they even dropped us at Mount Wakakusa, we then went downhill on foot for about 11 km.
