Awara Onsen · Mikuni Onsen × Ranking Of Accommodation With Signature Seafood CuisineHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

From arrival by car to departure, we had a very pleasant stay. All the staff were cheerful and very kind, and the meals were excellent. When we left by car, it was especially memorable that they kept waving until we were out of sight. We would definitely like to stay again.

A few days before my stay, I emailed to check on the impact of the heavy rain, and received a courteous reply with detailed information, which reassured me and allowed me to stay with peace of mind. The dining staff casually shared helpful updates, and the next morning provided even more detailed information. Every staff member was pleasant without being overly formal, making my stay very comfortable.

My wife is currently undergoing medical treatment, so I contacted the property in advance with two or three requests. They kindly accommodated them, and we had a wonderful stay. The staff were also very courteous.

We stayed here on our family’s first trip to Hokuriku. The room, hot spring, meals, and staff were all wonderful, and our whole family was very satisfied. As the one who planned the schedule and chose the accommodation, I was truly happy to see everyone enjoy it so much. We would definitely love to stay again.

I chose Haiya as my Accommodation in Awara Onsen for the first time in a year. I still remembered the layout and traditional furnishings of my previous Room (Iwashimizu), so I decided to stay here again. This time, my Room was “Choyo,” and I also loved its classic, traditional atmosphere. Best of all, the Room had an open-air bath, so I could relax and soak at my own pace and enjoy a different feel from the large public bath. As before, the meals featured plenty of locally sourced ingredients, including Wakasa beef, which I was able to savor fully. The many dishes served in tableware that evoked an autumn ambiance also showed the staff’s thoughtful attention to detail. I really like Haiya’s calm, high-quality atmosphere, and I plan to stay here again when I visit Awara Onsen next time.

This was my first stay here, and the Room was spacious and very relaxing. Both dinner and breakfast offered a wide variety of dishes, and I was completely full (and they were delicious). I also received a great-value coupon, which let me buy lots of souvenirs. I would like to visit again.

This was my second stay. The food already has an excellent reputation, and everything I tried was truly delicious—especially the desserts. I’ve had many buffet-style meals before, and this is my No. 1. The financiers served in the lounge as a late-night snack were also very tasty. The baths go without saying. I also appreciated that the service wasn’t overbearing. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

This was our first time staying at a Hotel affiliated with Ooedo Onsen! Due to our schedule, we checked in late and could only get a dinner Reservation for 8:30 PM, but we had plenty of fun in the meantime—playing table tennis as a family and enjoying the Onsen. The kids were thrilled! At night, we borrowed UNO and had a great time together. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent—the sushi and steak were amazing! Everyone went back for multiple bowls of seafood rice bowls in the morning. The Facility is a bit old, and the air conditioner was quite loud, but the overall enjoyment more than made up for it. The Room was very spacious too. We’d love to stay again!

We visited as a family of four. Our kids, who love pools, were especially excited. At the front desk, we received bath towels for each person and locker keys before heading over. There is an indoor pool, and separate saunas for men and women next to the pool to warm up after getting chilled. There’s also an outdoor area with several kick scooters, which the kids enjoyed. There’s a dinosaur maze and dinosaur-themed displays too, so it was fun even before visiting the Dinosaur Museum. There is a park next to the parking lot. I noticed some dirt in the hallway on our guestroom floor, but otherwise everything felt acceptable.

As this was a “reasonably priced” Room, it was located directly beneath the restaurant. As expected, we didn’t hear chair-scraping or footsteps much, but the sound of people running around carried quite a bit. The chair noise in particular was really loud. However, this trip was just for two adults and we weren’t specifically looking for complete quiet—and since we also used that restaurant for meals, it was within an acceptable range. The Room was spacious and very clean, though it did feel a bit dated. We were told there would be no view, but given the location, it wasn’t like another building blocked everything or we couldn’t see outside at all. If you shifted your gaze slightly, you could enjoy a nature-filled view of Fukui’s wide-open fields, which we were very happy with. The restaurant buffet had a great variety and everything was delicious—I ate too much. It seemed seared bonito (tataki) was the featured item this time; I could only get it once, but it was excellent. The other seafood was also tasty, and there were grilled and fried dishes as well—an indulgent buffet that everyone from kids to seniors can enjoy. Above all else, the Onsen was wonderful. I didn’t realize Awara Onsen is not overly hot. There were also two open-air baths, so guests could take turns enjoying them without crowding—everyone’s good manners made us feel lucky. We stayed here because we had a memorial service in Fukui Prefecture, but there were so many things to enjoy inside the Accommodation—a table tennis area and manga corner—and there was even a morning market held in the lobby. One night wasn’t enough. Next time I’d love to come back for sightseeing at a more relaxed pace. Thank you as well for providing Shuttle Service to Awaraonsen Station.

I use this Hotel when traveling to Hokuriku for work. It had been about a year since my last stay, and the staff’s smiles make this a truly relaxing place. Because I’m here for work, my arrival time is uncertain and I leave early in the morning, so I always book No Meals Included. The Room is kept very clean, and the magnifying mirror at the sink is really helpful when putting on makeup. I’m not sure if every Room has one, but it’s a nice touch. The larger-than-usual refrigerator is also convenient. Ice packs don’t freeze completely solid, but they do freeze to some extent. The Onsen is spacious and stylishly designed. The open-air bath is deep, and there’s a large stone inside that works like a seat—you can adjust your height, which is great. There’s also a cold bath, and I appreciate that it isn’t too cold. This time I arrived in the early evening, so I went out for dinner while taking a walk around the Onsen town. It’s within walking distance, which gave me one more thing to look forward to. I’ll continue staying with No Meals Included—thank you again for your hospitality.

I thought the temaki sushi dinner was a really great idea. It looks like the kids would enjoy it too. The bath is also an Onsen, and my skin felt so smooth afterward. The view is outstanding!! It’s right in front of Sunset Beach. I hope I can come again...

We stayed at this Accommodation after spending the day at Shibamasa World. Most other Accommodations require check-in by 18:00–18:30 if you have meals included, but this one allowed check-in until 19:00, which gave us more flexibility, so we chose it. We were happy that we could choose the main dish and each of us could pick what we liked. The food was luxurious and delicious, and we were very satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. Our children were also pleased to have a kaiseki meal instead of a buffet, and everything was delicious. They also happily ate the kids’ menu. The Room was spacious, with plenty of space even for our family of five. The bedding was mattresses rather than futons; I usually wake up with body aches, but perhaps because it distributed pressure well, I woke up without pain—actually better than usual. The bath wasn’t very large, with one indoor bath and one open-air bath, but it was relaxing and felt great. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay.

We stayed in a special room. The service during the meal was excellent. We had the pufferfish course, and we would have been happier if it had been a bit more luxurious. Given the reasonable price, we were satisfied overall. Thank you very much.

Even though we eat a lot, the portion size was very satisfying. Everything was delicious! We’d love to visit again during crab season!

It was very luxurious to have the entire second floor to ourselves, but I felt the use of space was a bit wasteful. The room had the convenience of a business hotel, but with unlimited access to onsen with natural hot spring water, it could have been a luxury property with better use of space. There was supposed to be a drink service, so we didn't bring anything, but the fridge only had water as a non-alcoholic option. If I had known, I would have brought something. At least a vending machine would have been nice. They prepared plenty of bath towels for us, but since we wanted to soak in the onsen multiple times, it would have been nice to have a place in the room to hang the towels so we wouldn't have to use so many. The hot water and food were very good, so I found myself nitpicking on the finer details. That said, we were able to enjoy a luxurious time while maintaining the atmosphere of a pension or a guesthouse.

The Accommodation staff were very pleasant, and the Room was thoughtfully designed and comfortable to stay in. I also really appreciated that the Room was arranged just as I had requested. The water provided was the same brand I regularly have delivered at home, which made me so happy. The meals were truly outstanding. I’m a Fukui resident, and I was amazed to see local ingredients transformed into dishes like this—and everything tasted wonderful. The service was attentive and felt polished. The artwork on display and the plants grown in the center created a great atmosphere. The table layout also felt perfectly spaced from other guests, so it really felt like we could enjoy a delicious meal with just the right amount of privacy, leaving me completely satisfied overall. People from outside the prefecture often ask me about Fukui, so lately I’ve been staying in Fukui and around Kaga to experience things for myself—and this is a place I’d like to recommend to my local friends as well. I’d love to visit the restaurant again. Thank you for such an enjoyable time. *The bath area was clean, but I rated it “4” because it would have been even better if it had an Onsen. That said, it was more convenient than many typical Hotels—so it’s closer to a 5 than not. Since there are plenty of Onsen nearby, I also thought it would be fine to visit a day-use Onsen the next day.*

This was our first trip to Mikuni, and also our first time staying overnight there. Our child couldn’t wait to get into the hot springs, so we checked in almost as soon as check-in opened. We headed straight to the baths with our child. Because the bath can be reserved for private use by a family, we could relax without worrying about other guests and truly enjoy it. Both the indoor bath and the open-air bath were a comfortable size, with just the right water temperature. After bathing, dinner began. We had Wakasa beef steak and a whole grilled nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) seasoned with salt. The vinegared dishes and chawanmushi were also delicious. My partner was especially happy with the perfectly balanced salt seasoning on the nodoguro! We were also delighted by the owner’s warm hospitality. Our child was thrilled too—hamburg steak, fried shrimp, and more made for a very happy dinner! The owner told us about local fish and Mikuni specialties such as momi-wakame seaweed, which made for a truly meaningful time. Then all three of us enjoyed another private bath together—my wife and child were both very satisfied! We all went to bed at 9 p.m., then headed back to the baths first thing in the morning. After that came breakfast—the moment we’d been waiting for. Drinks were plentiful too, including green smoothies and orange juice! For breakfast, we adults had mackerel, while our child had salmon; both were exceptionally tasty. The owner also recommended visiting Mikuni’s roadside station (Michi-no-Eki) to look for souvenirs, which helped make this one-night trip feel wonderfully complete. It’s a small inn, but thanks to their kindness toward children—and an excellent balance of meals, baths, and service—we had an outstanding stay. There seems to be a resort hotel near Tojinbo as well, but we’re glad we chose Kaze no Mori instead. Thank you very much.

Everyone at the Hotel welcomed us with warm smiles, making our stay very comfortable and relaxing. The large public bath was great, with a shampoo bar and a selection of hair dryers from brands like ReFa and YA-MAN, which was fun to try. Thank you very much.
