Mikado is located at the intersection of Highway 5 and Highway 754.

This village was founded after Japan had won several victories against the Russian Empire in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). Britain was allied with Japan in this war and Japan has a degree of newfound popularity in the British Empire. Three towns in Saskatchewan along the CN line (Togo, Kuroki, Mikado), a regional park (Oyama), and CN Siding (Fukushiama) were named in honour of Japanese achievements in this war.
