One of the two choices on Mt. Wakakusa in Nara: Mikasa vs. Heijo
Reviewed By Kevinang999Mikasa is actually a part of a Miyako Hotels & Resorts chain, thus one can expect a certain level of standard here. The standard room that we booked for has a somewhat angled view of the city. You will have to pay more for a room with a direct view. The room size was moderate. The dinner service was very nice and in line with other ryokans that we have stayed in the past. For breakfast, I think that the Japanese breakfast was the only option. However, everything was tasty and of high-quality. The portion of breakfast was adequate but not filling unlike other buffet-style breakfast at typical hotels. Although the onsen was not natural mineral water, the facility was clean and has every amenity that one would need including facial cleanser, lotion, and Q-tips. We didn't need to bring a towel from the room since that was also provided on-site. The only downside was that the outdoor bath has no view whatsoever. The shuttle service was efficient and punctual. They have an office next to Kintetsu-Nara station Exit No. 5. At the end of our stay, the staff was kind enough to transport our baggage to Heijo which is nearby. People who are looking at ryokans on Mt. Wakakusa in Nara would likely be comparing this property with Heijo next door, so here we go. - Room: Heijo At Heijo, even a standard room has a very good view of Nara and it was much more spacious with a full-size window. The room also has other nice features like electric curtains and feet-warmers. - Onsen: Mikasa The hot baths at both places were not from natural spring. Nonetheless, Mikasa did provide better facilities & amenities. - Food: Mikasa Dinners were comparable at both places, but breakfast at Mikasa was more substantial. - Staff and service: Tie The staff at both properties are courteous and helpful. Although Heijo seemed to be a bit understaffed. - Location: Mikasa Mikasa's office next to Kintetsu-Nara station was very handy. We knew exactly where to catch the bus, and we could leave our baggage there. Not so easy for Heijo. With that said, Mikasa's rate was higher at the time of our booking.

Balanced hotel with excellent location and friendly staff
Reviewed By aTan13Stayed for 2 days in two different rooms - Japanese style and modern one. It was an overall positive experience. + Great location + Good view (not excellent because of the trees, but it's still good) + Very friendly and helpful staff + They speak English + Convenience store (not 24h) at the basement + Spacy rooms for Japan and given price - Not many things are included in the room but could be asked on reception - Some modernization/refreshment would be useful Additionally, there is a Visitor Center on the 1st floor, where you could find any information you need about Nara and the nearby areas. Things like what is better to visit to sightsee or to eat. Including in English. Had a great talk with Jay-san and visited some of the places he recommended. Thanks!

Great stay
Reviewed By 870JM870I really loved our stay here - we were after a more traditional Japanese style stay during our trip and this did not disappoint. We elected to have a kaseki style dinner and japanese breakfast and loved it. The staff were very friendly and attentive as well. I enjoyed the public baths while my partner enjoyed the private bath on our balcony. We elected for a larger room and it was incredibly spacious! the largest room by far during our two week trip in Japan. The hotel also organised a free english tour with the nara guides who are volunteers.

Kumano Kudo Kohechi Pilgrimage Trail
Reviewed By ymdsnowWe came off the Kumano Kudo Kohechi pilgrimage trail from a long day of hiking and were promptly picked up after contacting Nosegawa Onsen from a bus stop pay phone as instructed. Though the Onsen is a bit old and worn, our room was comfortable and clean. Cleaning up and bathing at the Onsen were wonderful treats after hiking all day. Meals were excellent, including one made especially for the vegetarian in our party.

Piazza Hotel Nara, the place to stay
Reviewed By L95HRkevingBeautiful hotel located near the J.W bus station, 5min walk from shops, Lawson convenience store, Starbucks, tourist information, etc. 5min bus from Nara Park, temples, museums, etc. Amazing welcome from the team members (special thanks to Marina and Saptoka for their kindness and quality of service).

Please enjoy a relaxing stay in a convenient location in front of Nara Station, bathing the on-site large public bath to refresh yourself.
Great
Reviewed By TravellerAS80I booked a twin room for one person and had a huge room towards the top of the building, with two double beds (weirdly pushed next to one another), a couch and plenty of free space. The toilet was separated from the main room, as was the separate wet room/shower. Both were very well equipped. They supplied only enough towels for one person (annoying if you need to wash your hair) and PJs (which I didn’t try!) The bed was typically firm and I didn’t like the pillows at all - they had a beaded underside and a soft top. Weird. Breakfast was simple but edible. The location was excellent - right next to the JR station and an easy walk to Nara Park. The receptionist didn’t speak a word of English (and in fairness I didn’t speak a word of Japanese) but we used a translator app and were able to communicate well enough. I rocked up at about midday and after some back and forth was able to get into my room early. I was very grateful for that!
7. Slow House Nara

A little gem in Nara
Reviewed By timmy1945This guesthouse is the perfect place to stay in Nara if you are looking for great accommodation and service at an affordable price. The owner of the guesthouse was polite, courteous and very eager to help. He gave us good recommendations on where to go and was very professional and helpful. The guesthouse has a kitchen so you can do some cooking if required. We stayed in a Japanese style tatami room which was really spacious and clean. The futon beds were extremely comfortable. The bathroom is well stocked with soap and shampoo so you really get everything that you need. The room has very good heating so you don’t need to worry about the winter cold. Location wise, the place is near all your local attractions, the old town and the temple landmark. Thanks Iki for making our new year stay so relaxing and enjoyable! We cooked hot pot in the Kitchen over new year as all the restaurants were closed and it was an amazing stay overall. Would definitely be back when we visit Nara again!

Reviewed By indylau00I had a great night with good food and a good comfortable hot bath. The room and bed was cozy. The staffs were all so friendly and helpful. Great location with walking distance to all the attractions. Good nice stroll to the attractions like the deer park and the few temples nearby after all the good food.

The town is worth it, and the hotel is nice
Reviewed By mfragozoWe loved the food, dinner and breakfast was delicious and vast. The public bath was OK, and the rooms were big and comfortable. The staff was very nice, although nobody could speak English. It didn't matter, as we managed. Compared to other public baths, this was not as great.

Beautiful location, lovely service, excellent food
Reviewed By Nik RWe staid at Totsukawa Kanko Hotel Sansui for two nights, as a typhoon had interfered with or hiking plans. And retrospect that was not a bad thing. We had a spacious room with our own hot spring tub. The food was lovely and plentiful. The service was excellent, unobtrusive but always helpful. We were offered pick up from the bus station and rides to the starting points for a day hike and our eventual walk to Hongu. Hot spring facilities are beautiful, with two private baths and men's and women's in and outdoor baths available. The place is remote and quiet, practically no noisy international tourists, great to relax. English is not spoken, but my we got by great on Mandarin. And finally the price is quite fair given what is offered. Also compared with other onsen we've visited since.
