The Japanese-style rooms at Mikasa Ryokan have traditional futon beds and tatami (woven-straw) floors. Each includes a flat-screen TV and private bathroom. Some rooms feature a private outdoor bath.

Kasugayama Primeval Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is right next to the ryokan. Wakakusayama Mountain, offering spectacular views of Nara, is a 10-minute drive away. Todai-ji Temple is a 7-minute drive. Amazing stay and a highlight of our trip! The room with a private bath was luxurious yet simple, with an amazing view of Nara. The included seasonal dinner and breakfast was a wonderful way to try some new Japanese foods. The shuttle bus to and from Nara was a nice addition, and all staff were so kind and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience onsen and ryokan while in Japan!
