This time, we will introduce you to inns where you can enjoy "Awara onsen," known as the inner sanctum of the Kansai region. Among them, we have picked out "ryokan with private baths" that are perfect for couples. Bathing alone in Fukui's famous hot springs is sure to be a memorable experience. It will also help you to recover from the fatigue of your trip.
By the way, if you take the train, you can travel between JR Awara onsen Station and Fukui Station in about 17 minutes, and between Echizen Railway's Awara Yunomachi Station and Fukui Station in about 40 minutes. Awara City is also easily accessible to tourist spots such as Tojinbo and Eiheiji Temple, making it the perfect base for your trip. Now, let's introduce some recommended ryokan by price range.
If you're a cost-effective couple, why not try a reasonably priced inn with no meals included? Awara's hidden inn, Yuraku, is marked by its calm and elegant building. The interior of the sukiya-style building is decorated with paintings and furnishings, allowing you to forget about your daily routine. In addition to a private bath where you can have onsen all to yourself, there is also a 1,650m2 Japanese garden where you can spend some relaxing time. It's also easily accessible, about a 10-minute walk from Awara Yunomachi Station.
Here you can enjoy a private bath in the hot spring onsen (fee required). The spring quality is a weak alkaline simple spring, and it is said to be a "beauty bath." The view from the bath is also great, so you and your partner will surely be satisfied.
This bath is separated by gender, but the large bath with sunlight streaming in is also very beautiful. Stretch out your limbs and soak in onsen to relax your mind and body.
The rooms are also attractive, as they will make you feel like you are traveling. Wear a yukata, which you don't usually wear, and surprise him. The 10-tatami Japanese-style room (pictured) overlooking the garden is excellent value for money. Not only accommodation without meals, but also plans with breakfast are available at reasonable prices.
If you have the time, why not enjoy a relaxing stroll through a garden surrounded by greenery and the sounds of water?
