"Suigekka, Kirara Onsen in Wakasa Mikata" is a scenic resort hotel standing on the shores of Lake Suigetsu, one of the Mikata Five Lakes, in Wakasa Town, Mikata-Kaminaka District, Fukui Prefecture. In the large public bath, "Suigetsu Lake View Bath," where Lake Suigetsu spreads out before you, you can fully enjoy natural hot spring water transported from elsewhere, a sodium chloride strong saline spring known for its beautifying and heat-retaining effects, while gazing at the lake surface, which looks like a painting. The large bath also has a dry sauna, and after cooling down with a cold shower, you can quietly refresh your mind while looking out over the calm lake. The popular "Morning Cruise Breakfast" served on the lake also makes for an exceptional resort stay.
The large public bath is located right in front of Lake Suigetsu, the largest of the Mikata Five Lakes. Through the large windows, you can take in a panoramic view of the lake’s calm surface, and enjoy a liberating bathing experience that feels almost fused with the lake itself. The spring quality is a sodium chloride strong saline spring with excellent moisturizing effects, helping you stay warm after bathing and offering notable beautifying benefits as well.
A quiet dry sauna attached to the large public bath. With a mature, rugged feel, it delivers steady heat that thoroughly wraps around the whole body and promotes a pleasant sweat. After enjoying the beautiful scenery of Lake Suigetsu from the large bath, you can calmly face yourself in the sauna room’s relaxed atmosphere and refresh your mind and body.
