Gorgeous setting. Fantastic large room with outdoor hot tub overlooking city skyline.
United States of AmericaMy first ryokan and kaiseki experience with my wife at Mikasa was wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. Staff were warm, friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back again!
SingaporeWe had the private onsen room so obviously it was amazing. We had the cedar wood tub that smelt amazing. The room was comfortable and very clean. It was a very expensive stay for us but I think it was worth it for the private onsen alone! The food, kaseki style, was nice. They kindly accommodated my vegetarian diet.
United KingdomOne of the nicest ryokan I stayed in during my trip to Japan. The place has a really nice lounge area with amazing views (the room has amazing views too).
AustraliaEverything was great - great hospitality, lovely view from the room, amazing service... What more could you want? :) I would definitely return if I visit Nara again.
BulgariaThe staff were very friendly and helpful. Their advice on getting to places was valuable (they even took us to one, even though it wasn't on the hotel bus route), and they also introduced us to a place we wouldn't have gone otherwise.
JapanFriendly staff, spacious rooms and very relaxing public baths! The dinner was also great, 10 courses!
United KingdomI cannot fault our stay at Mikasa; it was the highlight of our 2 week stay in Japan. The hospitality from the staff was outstanding and we were made to feel like special guests. Our room with private outdoor bath was amazing. We loved relaxing in the bath, particularly when it was raining! The food was also amazing and almost worth staying here to experience the kaiseki dinners. I would highly recommend a stay at Mikasa if you would like a little relaxing as part of your trip.
AustraliaThis was a treat experience as part of our Japanese tour de force. The property was fine, perhaps getting close to a refurb. The staff were excellent in terms of service and guiding us around making any cultural faux pas. The highlights were obviously the first bath experience (a little nerve racking at first but it was quiet so all sorted itself out) and the evening meal. The quality and variety of dishes was extraordinary and the detailed menu (instruction manual for us uninitiated) was excellent. Breakfast was another culinary experience but we would have appreciated another “menu” as we have no idea what we ate..... still here so nothing bad! I wouldn’t say that we are immediate converts to a futon bed, but we slept Ok and could get used to it. We are soft Westerners after all.
New ZealandLarge rooms, nice onsen and very friendly staff. They even offer a free shuttle service and you can store your luggage in the city. I highly recommend this place!
