HOTEL OVERVIEW

Welcome to the Fukui Manten Hotel Ekimae, a distinguished 4-star accommodation nestled in the heart of Fukui City, Japan. This elegant hotel stands proudly at Chuo 1-11-1, a prime location directly opposite Fukui Station as suggested by its name “Ekimae” (meaning “in front of the station” in Japanese). With an impressive rating of 8.0 out of 10 from previous guests, the Fukui Manten Hotel Ekimae has established itself as a well-regarded choice for travelers seeking quality accommodations in this historically rich prefecture. The hotel’s central position makes it an ideal base for exploring Fukui’s cultural landmarks, natural attractions, and culinary delights, offering convenience without compromising on comfort. The Fukui Manten Hotel Ekimae combines traditional Japanese hospitality with modern amenities to create a memorable stay experience. The hotel’s thoughtfully designed rooms provide a tranquil retreat after a day of exploration, featuring contemporary furnishings and the attention to detail that Japan is famous for. Being situated in Fukui’s central district (Chuo), guests enjoy easy access to the city’s administrative and commercial hub. From here, you can conveniently visit notable attractions such as the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum, one of Japan’s premier paleontological museums, or the historic Eiheiji Temple, a centuries-old Zen Buddhist monastery nestled in the nearby mountains. The hotel’s strategic location also means you’re just steps away from local dining establishments serving Fukui’s renowned seafood, particularly the prefecture’s celebrated crab considered a delicacy throughout Japan. With its solid 8.0 rating, previous guests have clearly appreciated the hotel’s blend of convenience, service, and value, making it a trustworthy choice for both business and leisure travelers. Whether you’re visiting Fukui for its natural beauty, historical significance, or as a gateway to explore the wider Japan Sea coast region, the Fukui Manten Hotel Ekimae offers the perfect starting point for your adventures. The hotel’s professional staff embodies the Japanese concept of “omotenashi” – a dedicated approach to hospitality that anticipates guests’ needs before they arise. As the seasons change in Fukui, from the cherry blossoms of spring to the vibrant autumn foliage and snow-capped winter landscapes, the hotel serves as a comfortable haven from which to experience the distinct beauty of each. The Fukui Manten Hotel Ekimae stands as a testament to the region’s commitment to welcoming visitors with open arms, providing not just a place to stay, but a genuine connection to the heart of Fukui. With its excellent location, well-appointed facilities, and commendable guest rating, this 4-star establishment continues to be a preferred choice for discerning travelers exploring this lesser-known but deeply rewarding region of Japan.

The early check in time is convenient and not common so it’s good if you need to check in at 2. The property was very clean and easy to access from the station. The coin laundry was very affordable and there was lots of seating and options in the vending machines. Unlike many hotels, there were microwave ovens on every floor to make reheating food...

The early check in time is convenient and not common so it’s good if you need to check in at 2. The property was very clean and easy to access from the station. The coin laundry was very affordable and there was lots of seating and options in the vending machines. Unlike many hotels, there were microwave ovens on every floor to make reheating food easy.

What could be improved: The available shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were on the cheaper side. They achieved their goal, but I felt I needed to use a lot of product to do that. You need to use the key to function the AC. Since it’s a hard key door entry, the keychain is the AC tool.

It is very close to the station so the location is great. Room exceeded my expectations, the hotel doesn't have a modern look but I liked the classic feel it had.

Cool hotel with all amenities available close by. Right by the station is extremely helpful for on the go sightseeing. Extremely helpful staff with the kiosk style check in offering lots of information about the stay. For our circumstance of a single night, this was a perfect fit, though staying longer would still be comfortable.

What could be improved: Seperate hot and cold taps for the shower. That's not a terrible thing. It just stood out against other places.
