Spa Hotels in Nara

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

The long-awaited purple Nara! Thank you for staying with my mother. Even at this stay, ... From the pick-up to the see-off ... Maruyama Chiichifu Concierge received a very polite response! Mr. Hashiya manager! Thank you for your wonderful time. Kengo Kuma renovated the guest room of 'Nara Prefectural Governor's Office' built in early 1900, and revived the taste of the Taisho Period to the present age. In November 1951, Emperor Showa renovated the San Francisco Peace Treaty and Japan and the United States When I was a child, such as the reception room ”Go Certification Room” of the former prefectural governor's office, which is also a historic place to sign the ratification of the Security Treaty, ... The historic site that was listed in the textbook in the social studies class is in the hotel. In the reception room, round tables and chairs By seeing it for the first time through furnishings, ... I was impressed and at the same time I felt strange. Above all, my mother, who loves Kengo Kuma's modern architecture, was very impressed, so ... Great success! The rag colle of the green brand is not only purple but also Arashiyama purple! Irafu Sui Miyakojima! The hotels in every area are wonderful, but ... purple Nara was better than I imagined. Next time, I will revisit with my partner at the end of April, so please do not hesitate to do so. Thank you for your continued support 🤲

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.

10 seconds walk from JR Nara Station. It's okay even if it rains. Hotel check-in is on the 3rd floor. The bathhouse on the 6th floor is free. Free drinks on the 3rd floor. Breakfast shows the pride of the hotel. Very delicious.

The hotel is next to Heisei Palace, and it is very convenient to go to nearby attractions. Free parking is available. The service attitude of the staff is very good. Breakfast and dinner are rich in variety and taste good. They are all set meals. After dinner, you can also eat dandan noodles. The hot spring water is very soft (chloride spring) and feels good on the skin. The room is spacious and well-equipped.

The well-regulated Japanese-style tatami room, just three people's bunk, all kinds of supplies are complete, but the room does not provide free drinking water, the tea itself has a taste of tap water. Dinner and breakfast are provided. People go to the table. The sashimi has been dried. Other dishes are more ordinary. It is almost meaningless than other hot spring hotel meals. The ladies hot spring is a small pool and a bathtub and sauna similar to the foot of the Buddha. There are no highlights. The waiter is not particularly enthusiastic. I stared at the guests and said that I could not touch this and that. There was a free drink machine at the entrance of the hot spring. I wanted to drink in the morning and found that I was turned off after work. The only highlight is the waiter who came to help, who was gentle and beautiful. The hotel terrace has a good view and the price is average.

Royal suites of the top floor Mezzonet type are available at low cost depending on the date of stay and plan. It is a room with a year, but there is a clean feeling, there is a TV on the upper and lower floors, there is a cherry blossom bath, and there is a sofa on the upper floor, and I enjoyed the interior room like a mountain hut. The top floor was quiet and comfortable because only one room. The cherry blossom bath is old, so there is black smear, but it is comfortable with the cherry blossom fragrance. Just a little drainage groove water damage. It was such a specification because it flowed without saving at first. The meal was very delicious in the morning and evening. The service of the employee was good and delicious. It was a hotel I wanted to use again.

I felt wide because I was alone in a twin room. Free drink servers, green tea and tea bags are also prepared and good impression. The breakfast buffet (¥ 1100) side dishes were so normal, but miso soup was carved and put onion into the cherry blossoms by oneself, and it was miso soup without ingredients. Unfortunately, there is no power outlet in the wash place of the unit bus and the dryer cannot be used. The mirror was only in the washroom, and there was no mirror on the wall in front of the table with the power outlet, so I couldn't get my hair done. I asked the front desk to come to the room and confirm that there was no power outlet. Therefore, the evaluation of the facility was made to be normal (face ３), but it may be a little sweet.

It is a small hotel, along the national route, so the entrance is difficult to understand. If you don't look at the map well, you will pass by. It was a hiding hotel and I was able to be quiet and calm because the number of rooms was not small. There was also a balcony in a wide room with a low bed. It was 2 meals, but it was influenced by corona or 2 meals to the room. I was very satisfied with a solid meal for a reasonable price.

The location of the room is really consistent with the online reviews. You can see the deer on the balcony, especially when you walk in the morning and evening, you can get in touch with each other in front of the door. 5 minutes to go out, shopping, eating, parks, temples are all complete. It is worth mentioning that the room service is in place. The only drawback is that the check-out time is before 10 o'clock, and the overtime is 3840 yen/hour.
