Visit Nara

This luxury hotel was formerly the Nara Prefectural Governor's Office, and features a mix of 1920s and contemporary architecture. Much of the original building has been preserved, including the room where Emperor Showa ratified the San Francisco Peace Treaty and the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty in 1951. The craftsmanship, heritage and location of the Shisui make for a unique Nara experience. The hotel is part of Marriott International, and includes a spa, 24-hour gym, a restaurant, and a sushi bar. Around half of the guest rooms have private hot spring baths or open-air baths. At dusk, guests can enjoy free-flowing champagne while gazing at the traditional Japanese gardens. The location on the edge of Nara Park and next to Yoshikien Garden, is ideal for exploring Nara City. The hotel offers a variety of experiences, from private guided tours to Nara ink workshops.
