Staff was very kind and helpful, I was able to check in late in the evening with no problem. The bathhouse was nice. I took one of the triple japanese rooms for only one person, so I had a lot of space. Three people would've fit comfortably. THe inn is one block away from Tofuku-ji so you can start your visit of Nara there. WIll definitely stay again and would recommend!

The meal was inspirational and the chef was so kind and carefully explained all the dishes to my wife and I, even though we spoke no Japanese. The passion and love show in each dish. The room is hyper modern, I was blown away. The open air bath was blissful, and all the little touches like free snacks,beer, ramen etc The other staff were kind and helpful and brought my wife some items she needed ASAP.

I liked everything from Mikasa. They have a small reception in Nara city centre, and the lady who Works there is so sweet and nice. The bus collected me and my friend there, and took us to Mikasa, which is in a quiet and isolated area. The reception couldn’t be better. We had a member of their team showing us everything (I forgot her name, so sorry). We could choose a yucata, and then she took us to our bedroom,which was lovely and immaculately clean. We then had dinner - one of the highlights - which was beautiful and delicious. After dinner, we went to a tour at the mountains and the tour guide was lovely,and explained to us many things about the area. The following day we went to the hotel’s onsen and it was amazing. Breakfast was the best one I had in Japan. Mikasa was for sure one of the highlights of my trip. Thank you so much to everyone that made this experience unique. Arigato gozaimasu!

This was by far our favorite hotel we stayed at during our trip in Japan. The place is located next to a kofun which makes the area so peaceful and quiet. At night you could hear the crickets and cicadas while being in your private hot tub in your private little garden. The room was very, very spacious, beautifully decorated. I wish we had planned more days in Nara, so we could spend more time in this little oasis.

I stayed in the old bulding and had the pleasure to listen to waterfall and frog sounds from the nearby river all night. Very soothing. The place has a great retro atmosphere, clean and nice onsen and great food. On top of that, when I inquired about public buses to Koyasan from near villages, I was told by the receptionist he will take me there the next morning via car. Free of charge. What a service!

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.).
