Hotel Hot Springs di Nara Prefecture, Japan

Saiz bilik hotel agak bagus untuk Jepun, tetapi lokasi di Nara juga lebih santai dan agak longgar daripada Osaka. Kemudahan di dalam bilik sangat baru dan sangat kemas dan bersih Hotel ini menyediakan banyak perkhidmatan percuma termasuk mandi mata air panas, dan anda boleh berendam di mata air panas sehingga lewat pagi. Yakult percuma pada waktu pagi, dan aiskrim pada waktu petang Terdapat juga ramen segera percuma pada waktu snek lewat malam Kantin lobi juga sangat bersih dan persekitarannya sangat baik Namun peti ais akan ditutup pada awal pagi.. Kalau nak makan aiskrim, bergantung pada masa.

The 12 tatami room was very spacious and clean, and the room smelled refreshing. Moreover, Japanese hospitality and their attention to detail made the whole stay very pleasant. Both breakfast and dinner were amazing. We also informed the Ryokan that this was our 6th anniversary trip and they gave us free photography, which was lovely! Location wise, it is conveniently located right next to Nara park, and just an easy 15min walk away from Nara station or 10min away from Kitetsu line.

Three of us in a triple room. 3 adults. Separate. No couples. Just three friends. But they gave us only two cards to the room. I deliberately asked for the third card, as it was obvious that we will need the third one. Unfortunately they said that only two carfs per room are permitted. 😂 As it was any problem to generate the third one. ** It was pleasant stay, with semi-public onsen experience (opened for the guests from outside the hotel).

The hotel is literally next to the JR Nara Station.You can purchase all of your travel tickets there and the airport bus tickets, too. In that area, there is a grocery store, a Walgreens type store, and nice affordable places to eat. I highly recommend the place on the corner(pic #1-2). The two guys that run it are so nice. There is a long shopping/restaurant street kinda across from the tourist center. I don't recommend this one ramen place located there. They make everyone pay before eating, and for the basic ramen that I got, it was overpriced. My bowl wasn't even full!(pic# 3-7) The tourist center is located close by, and the folks in there are very helpful(pic# 8). All of the buses are right there, so touring is very easy. The hotel itself is very comfortable. It's keyless, so take a picture of your pass code. The onsen on the premises has a pass code as well. Inside was very nice and relaxing. I went at 2:20am and it was wonderful. They have pajamas, pillows, and a free happy hour. The variety of spirits is extensive. Also, the elevator smells so good! The scent will de stress you. You can try a lot of things with a nice view of the station. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. The last two pictures are the view of the bus terminal. There is another one on the other side of the building. This is the front view (airport bus location)

This hotel holds the high standard of their group as usual. Firstly, I thought the service was not sincere as the front deck refused to reserve the restaurant for us (there were 2 other hotel's front desk rejected in this Dec 2025 trip too). But then they offered tremendous help when I encountered parcel problem and which is out of what they need to offer. That's really helpful. The superior twin room is good for family of 4 with children under 12 years old. We put together the beds and there were spaces for4 big luggage to pack and tidy up things. Thank you to the entire front desk for their help. The downside was the breakfast really average and I only recommend to try once if you are staying long.

We stayed at Mikasa Ryokan (万葉若草の宿 三笠旅館) in Nara, and overall it was a great experience — but there are definitely some things you should know and plan for in advance. 🏞 1. Location & Transportation The ryokan is located halfway up Mount Wakakusa, with beautiful views over Nara city — the scenery is stunning, especially at night. But getting up and down the mountain isn’t very convenient. At first, I thought the location was right near Todai-ji Temple and would be easy to access. Turns out: The mountain road is very narrow and winding, and it actually takes longer than expected. According to the staff, walking up the mountain is not allowed. There's a gate, and the staff inside don’t permit people to walk up. Luckily, the hotel offers a shuttle bus up the mountain, but you should arrange it with the hotel in advance. Once you’re at the ryokan, getting out isn’t very easy either. Even if you want to take a taxi, you need to book it in advance — it’s not like calling a cab from the street. So I’d recommend planning your itinerary carefully before you arrive. While Todai-ji Temple, Nara Park, and Kasuga Taisha are technically just at the bottom of the mountain, they’re not within walking distance from the hotel, so you’ll still need transport. 🛌 2. Room Experience We booked the Japanese-style room with a private open-air bath. I did quite a bit of research before booking: Sites like *********** say the room is about 28 sqm (307 sq ft) But Ctrip listed it as 56 sqm, which was confusing After checking in, I think 28 sqm is probably just the indoor area, and 56 sqm includes the balcony, private onsen, and garden area. The room is traditional Japanese-style with tatami floors and a low table in the center. In the evening, while we were out having dinner, staff came in and set up our futon beds for the night — a really nice touch. This was our first time sleeping on Japanese futons. It was surprisingly comfortable, and the room temperature was perfect. If you're traveling with kids, this type of setup could be extra fun. 3. Onsen Experience We tried both the public onsen and the private one in our room: The public bath areas are located on the first and second floors, with men’s and women’s baths alternating daily. They include both indoor and outdoor hot spring pools. The water is hot — after about 10 minutes, we felt totally warm and relaxed. The private bath in the room was also very enjoyable. The garden had high fences and trees for privacy, and the tub was perfectly sized for two people. 🍱 4. Meals We booked a plan that included both dinner and breakfast. One important thing to note — you need to confirm your dinner time with the hotel before arrival, because if you arrive after 7 PM, you might miss dinner. Dinner is served in private dining rooms, which gave us a cozy and quiet atmosphere. The food was beautifully presented and very Japanese — including Wagyu beef and sukiyaki. Breakfast was also very traditional — grilled fish, rice, and various small dishes. Personally, I prefer something lighter for breakfast, and there was no coffee, bread, or buns included. If you want coffee, you can get it later in the lounge near the lobby.

Fantastic hotel for anyone who drive. Free Car park with lots of spaces. The facility is very clean, spacious room, both indoor and outdoor hot spring. Really there is nothing to complain in this hotel. It is located in a fairly decent neighborhoods and able to provide this standard of hot spring is phenomenal. One of the best stay we had in this journey. Highly Recommended.

I book this hotel assuming its nara, but its actually almost an hour train from nara deer park and temple. It cost almost 1000 yen using train just to arrive to this hotel. But the hotel provide amazing service which include free flow alcohol from 21-23pm and also huge onsen bath. I choose tatami room for the experience but not really to my liking because the room looks very old especially the bathroom.

近鉄大和西大寺駅から徒歩圏内にあり、また、平城旧跡公園　まで、３～４分に行ける絶好の場所にある。加えて、奈良市内では、非常に少ない温泉に入れる絶好の場所にある。 難点は、施設が古く、部屋やお風呂場の鍵が、所によっては、閉まらない等、施設管理維持の問題があるのが難点。また、部屋の手洗い場が、部屋と落差があり、使いにくい。 この施設の古さが表面化しない様、同ホテルの管理者に、強く要望する。

Заселение после 15:00. Сотрудники очень приветливые, в том числе есть владеющие английском на достаточном уровне, чтобы вы могли понять друг друга без переводчика. Комната просторная, отапливается/охлаждается кондиционером. Также есть котацу, под которым очень комфортно сидеть, чайный набор, в том числе чайник. Юката и хвори очень красивые и удобные. В номере есть также памятка для иностранцев о правильном посещении онсена (обязательно прочитайте, это важно). Всего два онсена - один большой с видом на реку (есть занавески) и один поменьше без окон. Вода умеренно горячая, не обжигающая. В качестве ужина был предоставлен кайсеки с переменой блюд - было очень вкусно и ОЧЕНЬ много (честно, мы не смогли всё съесть, так как обычно едим сильно меньше, за что приносим извинения сотрудникам)
