Mikasa Ryokan

Great view, facilities, breakfast and dinner.

Fantastic staff, fantastic food. The onsen was lovely.

Maravilloso

깊은 산속에 위치해 고요함과 평온함을 선사합니다. 나라시내에 위치한 시무실과 료칸 직원의 친절함에 감사하며, 좋은 추억거리를 쌓고 왔습니다.

スタッフの対応が素晴らしかったです。 チェックインも夜景の見えるソファで、ウェルカムドリンクのお抹茶を頂きながらゆっくりと出来ます。 お料理も大変良かったです。 是非また利用したいと思います。

Such a relaxing authentic ryokan. View over Nara was stunning and meals were delicious

Lovely place to stay and the staff were very accommodating.

Great first Ryokan experience. We booked a room with a private bath, which is splendid!

Det var fantastisk å bo på Mikasa: stedet er rolig, et lite stykke i skogen utenfor Nara, med en helt fantastisk utsikt over byen. Samtidig går det en gratis shuttelbussen fra stasjonen, severdigheter, og opp til hotellet slik at det føles sentralt og alt er tilgjengelig. Onsen er ren og rolig, med alle produkter tilgjengelig. Det fulgte også med en skikkelig digg flerretters middag og frokost. Hele oppholdet var tradisjonelt japansk, og føltes veldig luksuriøst.

Beautiful view of Nara especially at night. Service was amazing. I wish I checked in earlier so I could have enjoyed even more time there haha!

This is a very special ryokan offering in that 1) it’s just inside the park gates, 2) some of the nicest Japanese traditions are honored here, 3) you can get your own open air bath that overlooks a private garden. I have no idea why others would not give this 5 stars unless they reserved the wrong type of room. Their gift shop also has wonderful things that are easy to pack to bring back for the folks at home.

Prima voor 1 of 2 nachten. Wij missen de ruimte om vrij buiten de Ryokan te wandelen. Dat is door de weg waaraan het is gelegen niet mogelijk. Wel is er een shuttle bus die op vaste tijden van en naar het centrum van Nara gaat. Verder zou ik iedereen aanraden die geen ervaring heeft met een Ryokan je te verdiepen in een dergelijk verblijf met alle gebruiken. Maaltijden heerlijk, uitgebreid en veel. Avondtour naar de top van de berg was prachtig.

The first thing I have to say is the staff was excellent. They could not have been nicer. The reason I gave it only four stars was we simply did not enjoy sleeping on the floor OR the options for breakfast. Communication was a bit lacking too, but that was partly the language barrier. Also, although we enjoyed the ryokan experience, we won't do it again. Dinner was awesome, prepared in our room, traditional Japanese fare, mainly sushi, soup, salad, etc. A LOT OF FOOD! The room was small, though, and the futons on the floor were not comfortable at all. I think we just prefer western style hotels, and that is not their fault.

This is was my first ryokan stay and also my first time both in Japan and solo traveling. I can whole heartedly say that while the staff, food, and overall room was nice - this is NOT worth the price. I spent $327.72 for ONE NIGHT at this ryokan a half board for dinner. ALSO would like to note the receipt cost, so via Expedia it was: $340.49 $77.66 in taxes (which is insane), but I used $90.43 in rewards cash I had from a large group trip I booked with friends for spring break in the past. That means that the actual cost for a SINGLE NIGHT would have been $418.15 via Expedia, which is INSANE. I’m staying one night at a ryokan in Kobe the next night and it also has a half board and that only costs $237.11 and my checkout time is noon! Cons: #1 con is the insane cost which does not feel justified for what is provided, I mean for three nights sure, but ONE night, no chance. #2 is that we’re at the top of a mountain where you need a shuttle via the ryokan to get to the actual ryokan entrance, you’re kind of just stuck in the ryokan the whole day - so all I could do besides go on my phone was watch the TV. While the half board was a unique multi course meal, I still do not feel justified in the total price for a single night. Overall, I want to note again that the staff were super nice and helpful and the food was good, BUT I cannot recommend anyone stay here unless you just have money to burn. I’m sure you can find other ryokans for a better price w/better location

Bellissima

Had the best time. Was treated great and verry polite place. Personal room Onsen was great. Would love to return.

Excelente lugar si se quiere vivir la experiencia Japonesa.

Perfect! Extremely clean and the service was excellent! Loved the public bath.

El grupo de amigos con los que viaje y a mi nos encantó la experiencia de conocer este tipo de hospedaje típico japonés

The service was great and really appreciated the transport service from the station to the property. The only thing is the property is a bit dated and could use an uplift soon
