Hakuwaso

Hakuwaso is a traditional Awara Onsen inn centred on seafood from the Sea of Japan. Seasonal kaiseki gives the evening its structure, with the catch and Fukui ingredients carrying more weight than elaborate contemporary presentation.

The bathing facilities include a large indoor bath, open-air bath and private bath. Selected rooms and the detached Fugetsuan accommodation add their own open-air bathing space, allowing couples or families to build more privacy into the stay.

Hakuwaso suits travellers who want a straightforward Fukui ryokan experience: tatami, a regional seafood dinner and several ways to enjoy the spring. Its strongest appeal comes from the meal and private-bath room choice rather than a grand public design.
