Fukui Awara City

Awara Onsen

Known as the "back parlor of Kansai," this is one of Fukui Prefecture's leading hot spring resorts, with more than 140 years of history. It has 74 separate sources, and because each ryokan has its own private spring source, guests can enjoy subtly different spring water at each inn. With the 2024 extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, access from the Tokyo metropolitan area has improved dramatically, and it is highly praised by inbound travelers who want to enjoy a local Japanese night, such as experiencing traditional Japanese geiko culture and mingling with locals at the retro, steam-filled Yukemuri Yokocho.
