Awazu Onsen Hoshi

A hot spring ryokan with a history spanning over 1,300 years since opening, preserving its traditional noren for 47 generations. It is also a member of the Henokiens Association, an international organization of long-established companies with over 200 years of history, and its brand is widely recognized not only in Japan but also overseas.

The hot spring water is a gentle sodium sulfate spring, known for its wide range of benefits. Enjoy the famous waters in large communal baths and open-air baths while taking in the ever-changing scenery through the seasons, or in reservation-only private baths.

For dining, the ryokan serves kaiseki featuring seasonal flavors unique to Kaga, and in the colder months, snow crab takes center stage as a main ingredient. Sashimi, hot pot, charcoal grilling, tempura, and more—savor the king of winter flavors to the fullest through a variety of preparations.

There’s also plenty more to enjoy, including a garden designated as a nationally registered monument that’s illuminated at night—another way to experience beautiful Japanese culture. More than just a place to stay, this long-established ryokan offers a relaxing time surrounded by the warmth and refined elegance of Japan.
