Perfection
Perfect. Here's what I bring with me from my stay at this Ryokan. Everything was perfect starting from the beauty of the ryokan, the quality of the service, the kindness of the people. The spacious room and with private onsen was perfect. A note of merit also to the restaurant whose dinner was wonderful. I repeat if perfection exists... at Fufu Nara you can find it. Very good.

Absolutely fantastic stay
Fufu Nara (2 nights) - 5/5
We started the last with the holy grail of Fufu hotels, Fufu Nikko, and we tried our best to keep the expectations low since it's pretty hard to top that.
As we arrived at the hotel, the staff at reception already came out to welcome us just like the Nikko one. And as the parking lot is quite a bit smaller, the staff here also double up as a valet as well. Since we were a big group of 6 adults, after the staff unloaded our bags, they attentively checked with us which bags belong in the same room.
Check-in was done in the privacy of a big cubicle in the bar area. We were promptly shown to our rooms and given the room tours, and our luggage was already correctly set up in the rooms (you will see why this is important later). We booked for the lowest category stylish suites, and they were all spacious and each could seat 6 adults in the sitting room comfortably. The outdoor free-flowing onsen was great as well.
Getting to the restaurant requires a 5-minute walk downhill, which could be slippery in rainy conditions especially in the Japanese Geta and socks. But worry not, they had an Alphard that would chauffeur you to and from the restaurant. And given the high standards here, they have staff waiting for you with umbrellas to ensure not a single drop of rain will land on you. We had opted for Kaiseki on the first night and Teppanyaki on the second night, and both were equally delicious. I would say we prefer the decor and food at Fufu Nikko slightly, but still everything here is of very high standard. We had a Taiwanese staff, Miss Lin, on the last day, and she was one of the best hotel staff we have ever had. She was proactive, attentive, considerate and friendly and made sure we were all comfortable, happy and well taken care of.
Another example of great service would be the front desk staff, who are always polite and smiley to greet anyone who came in or left the hotel. When I left my room key in the car, I explained my stupidity to the staff. I was expecting to be given the car key so I could go retrieve it myself. Instead she ran out to the carpark in the rain to fetch the key for me before I could even react.
We did wonder why the restaurant was a bit removed from the hotel, and as it turned out, the restaurant area was a historic garden with a very nice tea-house. When me and my partner ventured in, just so happened a very kind Japanese lady was also touring the house. She translated the whole tour to us and explained the historical stories about the design of the tea house. If you visit here and if the tea house is open for visit, I’d highly recommend a visit.
All-in-all we absolutely loved our time here and would rank it as one of the top Fufu hotels, perhaps just a touch below Nikko, but still very high up there nonetheless. Everyone here tried very hard.

To the Edge of A Dream
The Fufu property in Nara is a haven.
Once you enter its gates, you leave behind the bustle of Nara Park.
No FuFu offers a better welcome. The staff immediately made themselves known, and to my delight, Takako Fujii, the Assistant Manager, appeared.
The combination of my plan to climb Mount Wakakusa and Takako-san's suggestion to visit the Artisan Market made perfect use of the time available.
By the time I walked across the stream in the ornamental garden in the evening to the restaurant, I felt I had been there much more than a few hours.
Once I had been ushered to my Washitsu with its charming nighttime view, a wonderful culinary journey began. Those who served me during my stay were a delight. On the second night, I enjoyed Teppanaki, where everything was cooked to perfection and was surprised and thrilled by the Italian-style dish teeming with flavour in amongst it all the riches of the evening.
My days were full of adventure. To return to my suite and the Onsen with its view of forest trees was the perfect counterpart. I have never felt more rested after a couple of hours. I was thrilled there was a small Bose Link to connect to, so you could let the sound of a Shamisen in, or the likes of the compositions of Toru Takemitsu.
Throughout, the room maintenance was of the highest order, and much attention was paid to my schedule so I remained uninterrupted.
Like the other Ryokans, I wore the Yukata. This may seem like some form of fancy dress, but it is not. The different modes of dress with their layers and footwear of Geta and split-toe Tabi encourage you to walk more modestly and with a greater air of delicacy. The clothes encourage a physical response, which leads to the mind.
This Ryokan is the perfect example of quiet, respectful efficiency, which encourages you to briefly experience a world where, through time-honoured rituals, everything can lead towards balance.
My heartfelt thanks to all the staff. I look forward to a third visit in the spring of 2027.
