The staff are very attentive, the food was excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. We did have a problem in one of the rooms we booked and we were immediately moved to another room within minutes. Fantastic experience and one everyone should try if planning a stop in Nara. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Takuro 11 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The bath in our room was amazing.

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. ##### Tiffany Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica 10 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This ryokan was an amazing experience! We were able to have as close to an onsen experience as we were going to find with the open-air bath in our room. The food was amazing!

We had great service, delicious food, and a wonderful overall experience. It was a restful getaway to the mountains with a private onsen just for us. The patio onsen had a beautiful view of a well-cared garden and was a very nice place to pass the time. There isn't much else to do directly at the hotel unless you take a bus or taxi into Nara, but that really forced us to let go and relax. ##### Natalie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### SHAY 2 May 2024 Liked: Staff & service Overall, this place is a great option if you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The surroundings are calm and serene. However, I did notice that the hotel facilities seemed a bit outdated. Although there were some updated amenities, I also noticed some black mold around the vents in the Rykon. The staff member who checked us in and served our private dining was exceptional. ##### SHAY Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 27 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The free bus shuttle service from Kintetsu-Nara was extremely useful. They also let us check in luggage early. This was my first time at a Onsen. My wife and I really enjoyed it! I definitely recommend having both the dinner and the breakfast, the spread is very pretty and delicious. I definitely recommend picking up a few Japanese phrases or words, but if you are patient and observe their diagrams their system and rules are pretty easy to learn. We had a room with a private bath as well, which was really enjoyable to use. All in all, it was a wonderful first experience. Be aware that the location is kind of in the mountains, so there is an element of the outdoors that you should be conscious of. They also have a bar that they host in the lobby in the evening with simple cocktails. The night view is great, it's quiet for a great honeymoon. We'd love to stay again :) ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Surav 11 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wife and I stayed one night here to get away from the busy life of Tokyo and Osaka and this was an absolute treat. The ryokan was peaceful, clean and very relaxing. The staff all greet you upon arrival and your dedicated staff member takes care of everything up until you go into your room. You are then given instructions and are able to ask any outstanding questions. Our stay included dinner and breakfast which is a must. The course meals were absolutely amazing, and once done, we went to our rooms to use our private bath. I cannot say enough great things about this place! The only thing to keep in mind is that getting to the ryokan can be a bit tricky. Once you get to the Kintetsu-Nara station, the office is across the street and clearly says "Mikasa Ryokan". You go in there and ask the shuttle times, which you can go on even if you do not reserve it, though space might be tight. You can also drop off your luggage to roam around Nara, but you need to let them know when you will board the shuttle, so it will go with you to the hotel. Be aware that the shuttle has LIMITED times it runs, but there is a taxi spot at the train station you can use if the shuttle is not in service. Overall, we absolutely loved this ryokan and plan to make it a regular stay when in Nara! ##### Surav ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I absolutely LOVED my stay at Mikasa Ryokan. Everything from the service pre-arrival to the check out was flawless. Upon arrival in Nara, they held onto my bags so that I could explore uninhibited. They provided a shuttle with multiple departure times to the hotel to choose. I rented a bicycle and explored Nara for a few hours. The ride from the station to hotel took less than 10 minutes, and all my bags loaded up for me. I was greeted with multiple smiles, given a welcome matcha, and was guided to choose my Yukata after 1:1 discussion planning my dinner, breakfast and next day shuttle. I was even told where Sakura Blossoms were just coming into view. The room with open air bath was incredible. Room was large, clean and so relaxing. Had wonderful views of the skyline and peach / sakura blossoms. Dinner was also incredible. As I stayed two nights I had different meals for both days, including breakfast. I’m usually very weird eating fish but the meal was amazing. I was guided on how to eat and in what order and tried everything once! The second dinner was beef, and eating in private room was also a beautiful experience. The hot spring baths were clean and never cluttered or loud. There was a late night bar and vending machines for drinks for when the bar closed. I will never forget my incredible experience! Thank you to all the staff who contributed to making my visit the best it could be ##### Amanda Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [Kalima Resort & Spa, Phuket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Kalima-Resort-Spa.h5200895.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Antalya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d481-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Suimeikan Karukaya Sanso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Suimeikan-Karukaya-Sanso.h16258706.Hotel-Information) > > [Wadi Rum Bubble Luxotel - Campsite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wadi-Rum-Hotels-Wadi-Rum-Bubble-Luxotel-Campsite.h36275651.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) > > [Lansdown Grove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bath-Hotels-Lansdown-Grove.h398087.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Alcúdia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcudia-Villas.d182271-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Corfu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels.d816.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Fukinomori](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagiso-Hotels-Hotel-Fukinomori.h34515912.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Southend-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d179500--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Mayflower](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lymington-Hotels-The-Mayflower.h22409423.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Hoshino Resorts KAI Nikko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nikko-Hotels-Hoshino-Resorts-KAI-Nikko.h17903043.Hotel-Information) > > [Zafiro Palmanova](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-Zafiro-Palmanova.h1200269.Hotel-Information) > > [Cleopatra Luxury Resort Sharm El Sheikh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sharm-El-Sheikh-Hotels-Cleopatra-Luxury-Resort-Sharm-El-Sheikh.h4804509.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Bahrain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Bahrain-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d14-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Chiang Mai (CNX) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cnx/lhr/chiang-mai-to-london) ### Activities ---
