Shisui, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nara
Nara, Nara, Japan · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
Shisui, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nara is part of Virtuoso’s exclusive Regional Program for Asia. Nestled on the western edge of Nara Park, one of Japan’s most famous scenic spots, the Yoshikien area where our Nara luxury hotel is located is surrounded by World Heritage Sites such as Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Kofukuji Temple, and Todaiji Temple, and has been protected by efforts to maintain the area’s lush greenery to ensure a scenic and serene environment. The name of the hotel derives from the “purple trunk and green leaves (Shikan Suiyou)” – scenic vistas that have been cherished in Nara since ancient times. Just like the name, guests can indulge in the history and traditions of the city…
