Hotel Dengan spa di Nara Prefecture, Japan

Checking in can take a while, as the butler asks quite a few detailed questions and then gives a thorough introduction to the building and its various areas. Some staff members have good English, others not so much, which can sometimes make understanding difficult, but it doesn't significantly impact the overall experience. The breakfast is exquisite. During the tail end of the Golden Week holiday, we had to queue for a table. The Japanese grilled fish was delicious, but other dishes were just okay. The Western options were decent and quite plentiful. The room was clean and tidy, and on our last day, we even saw deer chasing and playing in the courtyard. The hotel has a distinct resort vibe, and Kengo Kuma's design features many highlights. It's a tranquil oasis in a bustling area, and the courtyard is beautifully maintained. Most guests seemed to be older, well-established families, with fewer young people. (As a 'workhorse' who needed to get some work done in the evening, I found there were no power outlets near the desk for my laptop, which really drove home the point that everyone else was truly here to relax and enjoy their vacation). Overall, I had a very pleasant and comfortable holiday. It's a beautiful hotel and definitely worth experiencing.

I stayed at this hotel in 2019, and this was a return trip. Two days before departure, I received an email from the hotel asking when we would arrive. They kindly informed us that there were no dinner options nearby after 5:00 PM. The staff at the hotel spoke English. The hotel is located inside Nara Park, and the restrooms and showers are shared. There is a large common area, and the kitchen has a microwave and oven. Mount Wakakusa is right next door, but unfortunately, it's still closed for the day. It's very close to Todai-ji Temple and Kasuga Taisha Shrine. There are many deer in the park; in the morning, when I opened the window, I could see deer on the grass below. Check-out time is 10:00 AM the next morning. After check-out, you can leave your luggage at the hotel and pick it up when you leave.

The hotel is conveniently located near Nara Station, making access easy even on a rainy day. There are many restaurants and a supermarket around the station, and the hotel lobby also has an elegant restaurant. Upon check-in, a welcome drink was offered. The hotel has a large number of rooms, so if you're assigned a room further away, it might be a bit of a walk. The room facilities looked a bit dated, but they were perfectly functional. The bathtub was quite large for a room of this size, and the toiletries were a collaboration with La Mer. This stay included the breakfast buffet, which suited my taste well, featuring many local ingredients and some Western breakfast options. Overall, the experience was good. Since it was off-season, the price was very reasonable, and I would consider staying here again.

This hotel was booked in the morning and we arrived early evening. When we asked about dinner we were told that it had to be booked in advance, not only that but breakfast the next day would need to be booked three days in advance so was not available to us. A shame that they have such a policy, the room was good and modern and the onsen also pleasant and even had a small outdoor natural spring pool.

Fufu Nara is a wonderful hotel that offers a truly relaxing and luxurious experience. The hotel is very clean and well maintained, with beautiful rooms that feel calm and comfortable. The service is excellent — the staff are attentive, polite, and always ready to help, making us feel very well taken care of throughout our stay. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, using high-quality ingredients that really highlight Japanese cuisine. Every meal felt special and memorable. The location is also great, surrounded by nature and close to Nara’s main attractions, yet very peaceful and quiet. Overall, Fufu Nara is a perfect choice for anyone looking for comfort, great service, amazing food, and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended

The hotel is quite old, and my room on a low floor felt a bit dim. The hotel's attached hot spring was pretty good, with three pools and a dry sauna. Parking at the hotel costs 500 RMB.

First of all, the location is a long distance from JR and the electric rail Nara Station. The facade is good. The waiter's attitude is also very good. There are free drinks and books on the first floor for free. But the hotel hardware facilities can be said to be not suitable as a hotel, the bed, bathroom, etc. are too old, the TV is not as big as the laptop, and it is a big circle smaller than the small refrigerator. The sewer is also blocked, and the smell of the sewer is coming to the door. I should not choose this hotel again. It is not a good experience. Of course, the service is very good, but the facilities are really bad.

Our room has 4 futon beds (tatami) which is comfortable to sleep in. The hotel has liquor like sake, coffee, soda water and snacks as welcome drinks for the guests which is a plus point. Distance from JR and Kintetsu train station is within 10min walking distance. On our way to the hotel we already saw some deers which is a nice surprise to us as we are yet to be near to the Nara Park.

Fantastic hotel for anyone who drive. Free Car park with lots of spaces. The facility is very clean, spacious room, both indoor and outdoor hot spring. Really there is nothing to complain in this hotel. It is located in a fairly decent neighborhoods and able to provide this standard of hot spring is phenomenal. One of the best stay we had in this journey. Highly Recommended.

very clean and staff very nice and warm welcome. also they share some best food restaurant to us. will come back next time.
