"It was very clean. The room and facilities were beautifully kept and very new. The staff was very friendly and helpful. However we were surprised at the extra charges for two futons for our children at ¥3000 a piece as well as the ¥3000 late arrival fee, which made it much more expensive than we originally thought. Also, we would have liked to have booked one of the other rooms via Expedia, but it said that none were available on our date however, upon arrival, we were the only guest there so he...

Recent Reviews in Awara

Dormy Inn PREMIUM Fukui Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"The hotel is a convenient 10 minute walk from the railway station and about 90% is under cover. The room is small though comfortable except for the pillow which was very hard. Breakfast is OK although there are treats galore at convenience stores and bakeries at the station. The onsen on the top floor is a great way to familiarize yourself with this very relaxing Japanese tradition."

Yamanaka Onsen KAJIKASO

8/10 Good

"Great location by the river - the river trail is gorgeous. Staff is friendly and nice they provide shuttle service to train station. The onsen is good but wish it had a view. Breakfast buffet is nice. Our room was good but the balcony overlooking the river is not clean and we did not go out on it which was a bummer."

Haiya

10/10 Excellent

"This is the most beautiful ryokan we have ever stayed at. The food was delicious with a great variety and the staff explained the menu. The owner came to greet us at dinner and as we were leaving, it was great to meet her. The rooms were amazing and well put together with so many thoughtful touches. I really enjoyed the private garden and bath each morning. The futons were the most comfortable futons that I’ve had. The staff also took great care to help us ship our luggage to our next stay. Very much looking forward to coming back here and staying longer!"
