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.

The Facility was very new and spotless, and the staff’s hospitality was wonderful. We were able to refresh ourselves, and both my spouse and I were truly delighted. Since COVID ended, the way Japanese Ryokan operate has been changing with the times, which has sometimes felt a bit sad; however, at this Accommodation, we felt that the younger staff are carrying on Japan’s unique spirit of hospitality. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Awaji Island.
