Prefettura di Nara, Giappone: hotel con terme

A eccezione della camera un po' piccola, tutto il resto è stato perfetto. Si tratta di un hotel termale (onsen) in cui è consuetudine indossare gli abiti forniti dalla struttura e togliersi le scarpe. È molto adatto ai bambini: hanno fornito un set di vestiti e prodotti per il bagno per neonati, e il ristorante dispone di seggioloni. A cena c'erano noodles con salsa di soia e bevande. La colazione era abbondante e ricca, con alcune specialità di Nara e molti piccoli piatti e ciotole. Al primo piano si trova l'onsen, diviso per uomini e donne. All'interno ci sono vasche con acqua calda e fredda, mentre all'esterno si trova una vasca termale e una sauna. Dopo il bagno è possibile fare la doccia. Neonati e bambini piccoli non dovrebbero fare il bagno nell'onsen se l'acqua è troppo calda o troppo fredda; una semplice doccia è sufficiente. Fuori dall'area dell'onsen si possono gustare ghiaccioli e leggere fumetti (manga), cosa che piacerà molto ai bambini.

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 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.

Sono un turista che viaggia da solo. Tuttavia la posizione non è troppo vicina al centro città. Ma il personale dell'hotel è stato molto gentile, anche se siamo arrivati ​​quasi alle 23.00. Il parcheggio è ampio, quindi non dovrete preoccuparvi di trovare parcheggio. I servizi della camera sono puliti, ordinati e ancora molto nuovi. Il rapporto prezzo/prestazioni è molto alto. 

ホテルに入る前に奈良健康ランドを利用しました。ホテルの宿泊だと利用料金が安くなり、お得でした。また部屋のチェックアウト時間も延長されていてゆっくり楽しめました。 お部屋にはちゃんとふとんがひかれていて、遊び疲れてもすぐに休めたので気持ちよく休めました。

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.

Il buon viaggio per guidare il caldo e il caldo è buono. Anche se è necessario aprire la strada montana, il percorso è molto lontano, ma il paesaggio notturno è affascinante, un passo avanti e un caldo è molto curato, vale la pena venire! I dipendenti dell'hotel possono vedere tutti andare in un ambiente occupato e pulito. Quando si sforzano di fare ogni compito in hotel, daranno anche un sorriso gentile, che ti fa sentire come un ospite. Inoltre, il personale e i passeggeri sono in giro per introdurre le attrazioni vicine alla grotta, è molto simile a tornare a casa rurale per una notte! Molto consigliato per vivere il servizio di un hotel tradizionale giapponese caldo per una notte. La cena e la colazione non sono solo un disco di lusso, ma anche deliziosi!Inoltre, l'hotel stesso かきもち è anche un po'di resistenza! 🤤

This was a great hotel for quality/price. The room had everything including a clothes sterilising machine, which I’ve never seen before, super Japanese! Great public onsen with natural spring waters. Teunagve free ice lolly’s and had a cute tatami areas where you could practise origami.Breakfast buffet was great, was less than a 2km walk through town to the main park and temple area, I would defo stay again!

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.

I vantaggi sono molti. 1. La posizione è estremamente comoda, puoi uscire dalla stazione senza salire o scendere, puoi vedere i binari della stazione qui sotto dal piano superiore dell'hotel. Non lontano nemmeno dalle principali attrazioni. 2. Le strutture circostanti sono complete, per non parlare dei minimarket, c'è un grande supermercato al piano di sotto dell'hotel e ci sono diversi posti dove mangiare, tutti convenienti e di buon gusto. 3. Il servizio dell'hotel è molto cordiale. 4. C'è una sorgente termale gratuita♨️. Ma è piuttosto piccola: ci sono due piscine per uomini, una grande e una piccola, che possono ospitare 6 o 7 persone in totale. 5. Sceglierò di rimanere qui la prossima volta che verrò.
