Ibaraki Oarai Town
Enjoy a resort surrounded by pine forests and the Pacific Ocean, featuring skin-beautifying hot springs and an exquisite private villa with a sauna
"Oarai Park Hotel" is a tranquil modern hot spring resort hotel surrounded by lush pine forests and a beautiful coastline in Oarai Town, Ibaraki Prefecture. It features a very rare natural hot spring in the Oarai area. The slightly greenish brown spring water of Oarai Onsen is known as the "beautifying bath" because its salt content deeply hydrates the skin and offers excellent warming and moisturizing effects. The men's public bath is equipped with a comfortable dry sauna for a refreshing experience. With the full renovation of the entire property, luxurious sauna suite rooms have been created, complete with a private sauna, cold plunge bath, and relaxation space inside the room, along with Park Villa, a standalone rental villa featuring an open-air hot spring bath and a completely private sauna. It is an exquisite relaxation space for adults to enjoy.
A spacious indoor hot spring bath filled with rare spring water from the Oarai area. The beautiful water, tinged with a slight greenish brown, is rich in salt and is loved as the "beautifying bath" for its excellent moisturizing effects. Its smooth feel glides pleasantly over the skin, easing travel fatigue and the stresses of daily life while gently warming you from within in an exceptional relaxation space.
A calm semi-open-air outdoor bath where you can feel Oarai's pleasant breeze. Bathing while breathing in the clear air that passes through the pine forest and the gentle sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean brings a remarkable sense of openness. The salt content also provides excellent antibacterial effects and is highly effective for cuts and sensitivity to cold. Even after you get out, warmth and moisture remain on the skin for a long time, allowing you to savor the pleasant lingering feeling to your heart's content.
A calm dry sauna adjoining the men's hot spring public bath. In a quiet space without a TV, you can face the gently enveloping heat and enjoy a comfortable sweat. After leaving the sauna, you can easily cool down at the shower in the washing area right next to it. If you move to the semi-open-air outdoor hot spring area and enjoy some outdoor air bathing while feeling Oarai's pleasant sea breeze and the refreshing scent of the pine forest, a superb refreshing experience awaits.
For hotel guests only. Day-use bathing is not available.

Most of what we surveyed never even made it onto this site. This book is a further cut from what did. Our editor bathed in every onsen and sauna in it, and wrote only what they confirmed on the ground.
