Hotel in zona Shinyakushiji Temple, Nara

We stayed one night in FUFU Nara on the way from Tokyo to Kyoto. We took a special train - Aoniyoshi from Kyoto to Nara and it was very enjoyable ride. We took a taxi from Kintetsu Nara station to the hotel. Hotel staff greeted us right away and kept the our luggage for us until the check-in time. It is located next to Ukimido and we were able to visit Todaiji and the giant Buddha before the check-in. Once we return, we had a nice cold welcome drink. Hotel staff were very professional and friendly. It was obvious that they take a great pride on performing their tasks. Our room was super clean and modern with some Japanese touches. And the hot tub on the balcony was amazing. We contemplated between FUFU and the new Shisui, but we were very glad that we chose FUFU. At FUFU, I believe all rooms are suites and come with the private open air onsen. We did read some reviews on the noise. We did not notice too much especially after dodging so many screaming school children at Todaiji. At night, we had teppan yaki dinner for our anniversary. It was pretty cool to dress in yukata with a hanten jacket. The sandals were comfortable, also. We walked through the bamboo garden to get to the restaurant. Our chef was friendly and food was delicious. With sake pairing, we had a great time. Breakfast was served at the same restaurant, and the walk was beautiful in the morning. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. The lady who served us explained each dish very politely. It's hard to believe they are so helpful even without any tips. Staying at FUFU made our stay in Nara very special.

Quando sono pronto a dormire, ho trovato un insetto sulla spalla, non so come salire.Il servizio della ricetta è molto entusiasta e aiuterà a prendere il bagaglio.Il colazione è americano e giapponese, non auto-aiuto. Vivere qui è molto vicino al Parco di Liang Liang, è conveniente per foto, camminare per dieci minuti, e i leader nazionali hanno fatto scendere per soddisfare la curiosità.I viaggiatori tardi hanno notato che dopo il pranzo non ci sono mangiati di notte, c'è un 711 per dieci minuti di cammino, che può essere risolto con attenzione. L'hotel ha un bus di ritorno per JR, molto conveniente

The historical significance of this venue must be highlighted to illustrate its uniqueness in Nara - We signed up for the complimentary tour of the hotel offered to hotel guests on certain mornings of the week and had the pleasure of having Ms. Sato, the director of marketing, introduce the story of Shisui and its past-life as the residence of the governor of Nara between 1922 to 2017, then as Shisui hotel with guest-rooms designed by renown architect Kengo Kuma. The emperor of Japan had stayed on property in post-war to sign the San Francisco treaty. Sato-san's thorough introduction in fluent-english had me realise a stay at this hotel is a unique experience in the way that it is beyond just luxury. The staff had been wonderful and eager to please without pushiness. It was much appreciated, as it gave room for my wife and I to enjoy each other's company at this perfectly peaceful property. The staff had been amazing from the beginning, at check-in, we had Rika-san, a lady with eyes that can smile, to help us check-in while we rest our feet at the lounge with tea, then guide us to our room while briefing us on all its amenities. The rooms were modern with accents of traditional Japanese designs to remind me of the locations' history. Details like the washroom walls that look like zen-gardens and overall wooden decor made my stay at the room one of the most relaxing experiences ever at any hotel. The French-Japanese wine-paired dinner at Suiyou was also our culinary highlight of our two-week vacation in Japan. In summary, after the two night stay, my wife had requested that we should come back to Shisui in the spring, summer and fall to experience all the seasons at this venue.

La posizione è ottima. Nella via dello shopping accanto alla stazione. Molto vicino. Mangiare è conveniente. È possibile raggiungere a piedi il Parco Nara e il Santuario Taisha. Stai lontano però. Le strutture sono ok. È un hotel espresso. Il prezzo del ciondolo della moglie è il premio della Giornata Nazionale. Ciò di cui non sono soddisfatto è che la camera doppia nella dependance è una tipologia anomala accanto all'ascensore. Basso e piccolo. Le altre stanze principali sono triple. Non ordinare la colazione. Non dispone di ristorante. Solo un pranzo al sacco. Devi ritirarlo alla reception e scaldarlo nel microonde al terzo piano. È meglio mangiare fuori da solo.

La stanza era piccola probabilmente a causa del letto extra di divano, ma era molto conveniente e pulito. Grande posizione. Vicino al parco di Nara e alla stazione. Il ristorante è anche molto bello.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights and loved it. The staff was very nice and check in/out was simple. The hotel had a lot of traditional aspects to it and I loved the room. The room was traditional and modern and had all the needed amenities. The hotel is right by the station and a short walk from Nara Park and the downtown area. I would definitely stay here again.

10 secondi a piedi dalla stazione JR Nara. Va tutto bene anche se piove. L'iscrizione all'hotel è al terzo piano. Il bagno al 6° piano è gratuito. Bevande gratuite al terzo piano. La colazione mostra la fiera dell'hotel. Veramente deliziosa.

Molto bello hotel, ma il servizio non va bene. Forse dovrei dire ”mal”. Abbiamo prenotato 1 camera con 3 letti per 3 persone, perché il sistema di prenotazione poteva inserire solo 2 nomi, abbiamo 1 persona di nome mancante. Le due signore del dipartimento frontale dell'hotel hanno detto che dobbiamo pagare JPN 3900 per il letto supplementare. O potremmo avere solo 2 letti per 3 persone. Ho detto no, perché è incluso nel costo della camera, abbiamo già pagato. Le signore non hanno volontà di aiutarci a risolvere il problema, ma molto interessate a far pagare di più. Cerca di immaginare, 2 persone prenotano 3 letti per 2 letti?Perché non prenotano lo stesso tipo di camera standard per risparmiare qualche denaro? Per favore contatta il tuo agente per risolvere il sistema di prenotazione. Finalmente un gentiluomo dell'hotel ha aiutato a negoziare, e potevamo vivere qui. La stanza è molto bella e pulita, ma il servizio è il peggior che abbia mai visto in Giappone.

おしゃれで奈良らしい和を感じさせるデザインでした。個人的に窓際のソファが使いやすく食事をしながらリラックスできました。泊まった部屋は25平米くらいでしたが、洗面台やクローゼットがオープンなので、体感的にはもっと広く感じます。ミラーから大浴場の混雑状況やルームサービスも注文できるので非常に便利 夕朝食ともに一階のポンテ奈良で利用しました。どちらもブッフェです。ディナーはひとつひとつがコースメニューで提供されるようなクオリティで美味しく満足。ピザ窯で調理した出来たてピザが3-4種類あります。パスタも複数種類あり飽きません。またレストラン空間そのものがとてもおしゃれ。様々なタイプの席があり、色々なシーンで利用してみたいです。 8階に宿泊者であればだれでも使えるルーフトップテラスがあります。夜がオススメです。奈良の夜景が一望でき、テーブル上の照明と相まって、とても良い雰囲気です。ロビーからあがってすぐの2階のラウンジは穴場。一人用ブースソファは背もたれが大きいので後ろからの視線が気にならないのでパソコン作業で集中できます。パワーボール（電源）もあります。フォンブース等、他にも仕事で使えそうな席が各所にあり、出張時の宿泊先としてもおすすめです！

I believe it is important to acknowledge and celebrate excellence, and I sincerely hope that the outstanding efforts of the hotel team members are recognized for their service excellence: - Wang Yu Wen (Azekura) - Nobukazu Yoshida (Azekura) - Miyamae (Azekura) - Okubo Ren (Azekura) - Murata (Lounge) - Pabina (Lounge) - Kim (Front Desk) - Pitcha (Front Desk) - Arjun (Front Desk) - Dushanta (Front Desk) Some highlights of this stay: - Sparkling Wine provided for Bonvoy members during breakfast, ingredients also sourced from Nara - FHR dining credit has 125usd instead of the 100usd - Azekura the JP restaurant: one of the best teppanyaki and kaiseki I had in JP - no sento but there's a jacuzzi in the pool. The fitness gym was quite comprehensive The regular Room was already very big, comfy bed and clean! No upgrade this time since all rooms are fully booked - service! 100% good! One of the most friendly staff and quite a number overseas staff. - The hotel provide a shuttle bus to Nara station or Kintetsu Below content for those who has time to read To start, it was the first day of the dining experience at Azekura that got me to have not one but two dining occasions at the restaurant. Chef Wang Yu Wen not only delivered a gastronomic experience throughout my teppanyaki lunch course, but he also delivered a very personal one-one dining service experience. His culinary expertise was showcased in every dish despite my dietary restriction, every flavour simply delighted my palate. Kirito did an exceptional service by recommending a great local Nara sake to pair with my lunch course., The second day of Kaiseki was equally delightful and I was extremely surprised to be greeted by the 料理長, Mr Nobukazu Yoshida who honestly provided such an “Omotenashi” experience throughout my time at Azekura. Mr Okubo Ren and Ms Miyamae also delivered great service during my lunch dining on the second day. Overall, the dining experience at Azekura was the highlight of my stay and till now, I couldn’t help but marvel due to the great service that was initiated by Mr Wang Yu Wen. Additionally, I would like to commend the impeccable service I received during the check-in process. I I was impressed at Mr Kim’s patience and service throughout the check-in experience, and I was really glad to get a warm welcoming experience from both Mr Arjun and Ms Pitcha at the lobby. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate specific requests made a significant difference, setting the tone for an enjoyable and happy stay. It is evident that the team takes pride in delivering top-notch service, and their efforts did not go unnoticed. Furthermore, the hospitality at the lounge was exemplary. Despite the huge crowd during the festive season, the lounge staff did create a comfortable and enjoyable one. Both Murata and Pabina were some of those whom I felt had delivered great service during the evening cocktail hours. Lastly
