About TAOYA Wakura
"TAOYA Wakura" is a hot spring hotel in Nanao, Ishikawa Prefecture. Operated by Ooedo Onsen Monogatari, it is a top-tier all-inclusive hot spring resort. Facing the tranquil Nanao Bay, it boasts an infinity-style open-air bath with an overwhelming sense of unity, where the hot spring tubs seem to merge with the sea. Here, you can fully enjoy the famous Wakura Onsen chloride spring to your heart's content. The large bath area is equipped with an ocean-view sauna, where you can quietly work up a sweat while gazing at the majestic ocean scenery through the windows. A Goemon-buro-style cold plunge bath gently cools your heated body, and you can savor blissful rest while feeling the pleasant sea breeze. In addition, the property also features separate rock baths for men and women, as well as rooms with private open-air baths where you can enjoy a secluded soak undisturbed. After bathing, you can spend an elegant time in the lounge with a beer or drink in hand.
Hot SpringONSEN
[Infinity Open-Air Bath]
A spectacular infinity-style open-air bath with an overwhelming sense of unity, where the Nanao Bay in front of you and the hot spring tubs seem to melt into one another. While immersing yourself in Wakura's famous colorless, transparent, salt-rich spring known as the "sea hot spring," you can savor the magnificent seascape that changes with the passing time to your heart's content. Bathing while surrounded by the scent of the sea breeze and the sound of the waves brings supreme healing that makes you forget the noise of everyday life.
SaunaSAUNA
Ocean-View Sauna
An ocean-view sauna with a large window cut into the seaside wall, allowing you to work up a sweat while gazing out at the sweeping views of the Sea of Noto. In a chic, calm space centered on black tones, you can spend quiet, meditative time while feeling the gentle movement of the waves. Surrounded by the overwhelming openness unique to a hot spring destination by the sea, it offers an exquisite relaxation experience in which both body and mind seem to melt away with the tides.
Cold BathCOLD BATH
Goemon Cold Plunge Bath
A charming Goemon-buro-style cold plunge bath located right next to the sauna. After thoroughly sweating in the spectacular sauna, you can gently cool your heated body in a private, single-person space reminiscent of a tsubo-yu. Once you have cooled down well, you can smoothly move on to an outdoor air bath while feeling the pleasant sea breeze, leading you into blissful rest.
Hot Stone SpaHOT STONE SPA
Rock Bath
A quiet and restorative rock bath space provided separately for men and women. The far-infrared effect gently warms you from deep within, encouraging a pleasant sweat that is different from a sauna. Because you can sweat slowly at low temperature over time, it helps boost your metabolism without strain and offers a deep refreshing effect for both body and mind. Using it together with the hot springs and sauna lets you fully enjoy an even richer detox experience.
