Ver old-school and traditional way to experience Japan. The staff was amazing. Provided a free shuttle to get us there, welcomed us with tea and a relaxed check in. the room was ver traditional and the hot soaking pool was incredible. Very traditional japanese dinner of many course and items that was very good but a bit awkward as we had never had many of the dishes so initially were confused on what/how to eat things. Once we figured out the menu and order it became much easier.

This was the single best stay I had in Japan. I cannot even put into words how amazing. It was a tradition Japanese place, public baths that were spotless and cozy, got kimonos for our stay and inside house slippers, the meals were unique and intricate.

We had a fantastic stay at the Mikasa Ryokan, which we would describe more as an experience from the moment we entered the hotel, until the moment we were dropped back at the JR Station by the hotel shuttle bus. 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.

Amazing Ryokan

Amazing experience. The staff attend to you so well and make you feel so welcomed. We were able to leave our bags at the information center to go to the park alhands free. The provided bus to and from the train station is also a convenient touch. There is an incredible onsen on site, and the provided meal was laid out so beautifuly and had so many different new flavors and textures. Even if we didn't eat everything the experience was incredible. Highly recommend!
