Beautifully designed hotel with tasteful accent of Japanese wood. Lovely facilities with spacious rooms and a lovely restaurant that serves breakfast, dinner and has also a small self serving bar for an aperitif. However the best thing about this hotel is the staff. Absolutely lovely, helpful and professional. We had the pleasure to be checked-in by Rie and she was absolutely brilliant. So lovely and helped us settle rapidely so we could be ready for a wedding photoshoot we had on the day.

Historical building in a quiet street converted from a sake brewery into a small hotel with restaurant area. Our twin room had own bathroom with a lovely wooden tub, sitting room and bedroom. Looked onto rear garden . Very welcoming and informative staff who were helpful and proud of their role in Nara. Easy location from train station and to walk to the sights around the town. Loved the Japanese evening dinner paired with local Sake’s and the traditional breakfast, some of the best food I’ve tasted this week . Minibar drinks in room well appreciated . Beds and pillows very comfortable. Staying overnight was lovely to see the town after the crowds have left in the evening.

very kind staff. I have lived in many cities in the Kansai region, and they are very kind and helpful. English is always available there so no worries. The hotel is located at the heart of the Nara city, especially the Nara park, Nara machi, and Sarusawa-ike Pond. I can easily walk to each tourism attraction without using any buses or trains. If I have the chance to visit Nara again, I will definitely choose it again. Although some tourists may not spend a night in Nara, but I highly recommend you to spend a night here. The hotel quatily is definitely better than other cities in the Kansai region, given that you spent the same amount of money.

What an experience, staying at Mikasa is my version of heaven. The staff were sweet, the breakfast and dinner were so enjoyable, 8-courses of a tasting menu meant that every night all our relatives were jealous of the pictures we were sending home. Our food preferences were adjusted for, and the bar at the end of the night was to look out over the city light. 4 nights wasn’t enough the enjoy this experiment. Public bath was great, and my mum really liked talking to yuki now!

A great ryokan with wonderful staff. Great stay for tourists near the Nara park. Nice views from the terrace, very comfortable room, a spa bath, massage chair, vending machines, restaurant and other quality of life upgrades. I highly recommend to stay there and enjoy Nara in the evening, after most of the tourists leaves the park. And once again - wonderful staff.

Super big rooms (all the premises, actually) with one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in Japan, everything is spotlessly clean, the public bath is beautiful, the staff lovely, and there's a free shuttle bus to both JR and Kintetsu Nara stations. And all of this princess treatment for an unbelievably low price.

Nara has a lot going on. Lots of wonderful food, decent shopping and the Park is huge! There is way more to the park that is initially revealed in tourism blogs. We really loved early morning walks thought the park without the crowds. We spent 3 days there, and felt like it was perfect.

I really enjoyed my stay.

I really enjoyed my stay. The area is peaceful and the hotel has a very relaxed, but high-end vibe, minus amenities like pool, gym, restaurants. Although they have a nice restaurant next door with grocery/gift shop. The staff are wonderful and make you feel very welcomed! The hotel is at a base of the mountain and is outside the city which is worked for me, but if you need to be in the center till late, you will need to chip out the $10 taxi ride from the station. Will definitely visit again!

i liked the Kashihara Jingu and the visit to various burial places of former tenno. on my last day, i visited the Omiwa Jinja; there is an observation hill where you could watch the sunset over Kashihara city. walking around town however, you can notice the signs of declining population and abandoned shops. there are a few good ramen shops in the area if you know where to find them, like Saika Ramen, highly recommended for its spicy flavour.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan. It has really beautiful natural environment, lovely deer that you can easily see while walking on the street, and very friendly people. It has played a very important role in Japanese history (e.g. Horyuji, Toshodaija, etc. are important world heritage sites), but it does not have that many visitors as Kyoto, which makes traveling in Nara a lot more pleasant than travelling in Kyoto. I highly recommend people to travel to southern part of Nara Prefecture (e.g. Horyuji, Asuka-dera, Tsubosaka-dera, Oka-dera, etc.).
