Senshin Waho

We took our first family trip to Awaji Island to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our wedding anniversary. We chose this Accommodation because we love Onsen, and above all, we were drawn to the name “Senshin Waho.” After staying here, it truly became a place we thought, “We absolutely want to come back the next time we visit Awaji Island.”When we arrived, the staff kindly carried our luggage from the car. While listening to the soothing sound of wind chimes, we were served blended tea, and orange juice for our child. Just as we had seen in Reviews, everyone’s hospitality was outstanding. My husband was delighted and said it was “the best Accommodation I’ve ever stayed at,” which made me happy too.Our Room had a beautiful ocean view. Simply watching the sea made all our everyday fatigue melt away.Dinner featured many dishes that truly captured Awaji Island, and everything was delicious. Since it was my husband’s birthday, they even prepared a celebration plate for him. Thank you so much for that and for all your warm thoughtfulness.And then the Onsen we had been looking forward to: a rare free-flowing natural hot spring on Awaji Island. There was chlorination and heating, but no added water. There was no noticeable chlorine smell, and the water felt soft and gentle on the skin.The amenities were also from SYMPURTE—one of my favorites. The large public bath even had hair oil available, and their original shampoo/conditioner as well as face & body soap had a pleasant aroma that didn’t overpower the Onsen atmosphere.They provided slippers and yukata for our child, and at meals they arranged seating in a tatami room rather than at the counter. They also noticed that I’m left-handed, and even at breakfast the next morning they quietly accommodated me with thoughtful attention.Every detail of their care meant so much—it really showed how closely the staff pay attention to each guest.Onsen quality, amenities, service, cleanliness, meals—everything exceeded our expectations.The beach just a short walk from the Accommodation was wonderful too: not crowded at all. We collected sea glass with our child and watched the sunset—those simple moments became cherished memories of our trip.The baths were never crowded either; most of the time there were only one or two people there besides us, so we could relax comfortably.This is an Accommodation that makes us want not only to return to Awaji Island again—but specifically to stay at Senshin Waho again. Thank you very much.

Every few months, I visit various Onsen destinations mainly in western Japan, and this time I chose to stay in the recently popular Awaji Island West Coast area. Among several options, I decided on Senshin Waho because it had many positive Reviews—and it truly lived up to them. Honestly, I felt like giving it a 6 out of 5.By chance there was availability, and they upgraded me from a Standard room to a Superior room. Every staff member provided service that genuinely felt heartfelt. The large public bath was stocked with Imabari towels, which made it feel like a step above. Both dinner and breakfast were outstanding in both quantity and quality, and even each piece of tableware felt elegant.The guest room door had an auto-lock, but unlike many Hotels where the door makes a loud clanking sound when closing from the outside, this one was quiet—so there was no need to worry about noise when coming and going late at night or early in the morning. Many Hotels provide complimentary water, but here they prepared two bottles per person plus soda and lemon squash as well, which was a pleasant surprise.I’ve stayed at many Hotels and Ryokan over the years, but without exaggeration this is now in my top three. If I have another chance to visit Awaji Island, I will definitely stay again.P.S. The breakfast salad came with natto dressing. As someone who likes natto I enjoyed it, but since some guests may not be fond of it, would it be possible to offer a choice of dressings?
