Had a very comfortable and relaxing stay with Mikasa Ryokan. Right after we arrived to Kintetsu Nara, we went straight to the tourist center operated by Mikasa group? and we could store our luggage there which they delivered to the hotel directly without any charge. It does have hill top view where can oversee Nara city, with the tall tower of Todaiji temple. We chose a stay plan comes with two meals at the private room, the menu was very filling and Okami served it with very kind manner. Well, the taste was not the best compared to other Kaiseki outside but it was great enough considering the price we paid. We had several hotspring bath to use, one in our own room and two for shared. Either one was amazingly good as it also had outdoor view (open air style) where we could cool off our head from fatigue. Hotel itself was a bit old since it has certain history, but maintained pretty nice. Of course all staffs were very helpful and kind and Ms. Lee who took a tour of hotel for us was very fluent in English too.
