<Onsen
Our hot spring baths were renovated and reopened as "Heavenly SPA" in the summer of 2017. The "Tsuki no Yu" and "Hoshi no Yu" baths are switched between men's and women's baths at different times of the day so that guests can enjoy a variety of bathing experiences.
The baths boast the best view in Awara Onsen and spacious indoor baths with a sense of openness. In particular, "Hoshi-no-yu" has a microbubble bath "Bi-wa-no-yu" which is expected to beautify your skin.

Dinosaur Hotel Highlights/PR Points
Fukui, the happiest prefecture in Japan, is also famous as a "Dinosaur Kingdom". This time, two "Dinosaur Rooms" were created in the "Sakura-tei" part of the inn in the image of Dinosaur Kingdom Fukui. Dinosaurs such as Fukuiraptor, Fukusaurus, and Fukutitan have been discovered in Fukui. Please enjoy this room with your family and friends to experience the uniqueness of Fukui.
