Awara Onsen Grand Hotel - Yume Meguri no Yado

We made a reservation during crab season and enjoyed a crab course meal. The meat was packed and very satisfying. The baths were located throughout the maze-like facility, and it took us two hours before dinner to explore them all. The water quality was excellent and very relaxing. The staff provided attentive support during meals and check-in, making it a safe and comfortable accommodation even for elderly guests.

The Ryokan had a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere, but the room was spacious even for one person and very clean. The staff, including the kind Nakai ladies, were attentive and caring. There were also foreign staff members, but any gaps were well-covered by experienced team members, leaving no room for dissatisfaction. Above all, the Onsen was excellent. I went to bed early at night and woke up before dawn; it was wonderful to enjoy the Onsen privately even at such an hour. Thank you for providing transportation to Awara Onsen Station upon departure as well. Despite not being overly expensive, it was a very satisfying stay.
