La nourriture est riche et exquise

Cet hôtel est situé sur le mont Wakakusa à Nara. L'emplacement est un peu éloigné, mais le paysage est vraiment superbe, surtout tôt le matin, quand on voit toute la ville de Nara enveloppée de brume, c'est super beau. La chambre est une salle de tatami japonaise traditionnelle, assez confortable mais pas trop luxueuse. La source chaude est en plein air, vous pouvez donc vous y baigner tout en admirant la vue sur la montagne, ce qui est vraiment relaxant. Cependant, la piscine thermale n'est pas grande et peut être un peu bondée s'il y a beaucoup de monde. Le dîner était un repas kaiseki et la portion était un peu trop lourde pour nous. D'une manière générale, cet endroit convient aux personnes qui souhaitent s'éloigner de l'agitation de la ville et se détendre. Soyez simplement préparé mentalement. Cet endroit est assez calme et il n'y a pas beaucoup d'installations de divertissement.

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.

房間是傳統的日式榻榻米，但乾淨整潔無異味。靠窗能欣賞奈良夜景，酒店大堂也能看到整個山下的景色，傍晚時分還有夕陽。

比較老的店，維護的不錯。在近鐵有專門的接駁點，整體服務不錯。但台灣省的服務員比較冷漠。 重點是飯不行，過於形式，味道不好。
