A cold-mineral spring drawn at 24 °C from Awara Onsen's Well No. 40. The chemistry is sodium-chloride leaning but lightly mineralized at just 831 mg/kg, so it falls short of the curative-spring threshold and carries no formal spring-quality name; it qualifies as an onsen under Article 2 of the Hot Spring Law by virtue of its fluoride content. Weakly alkaline at pH 8.4 with a very faint hydrogen sulfide whiff at the wellhead, hypotonic, and heated for bathing.

About

Yuraku (ゆ楽) is a 45-room ryokan in Awara Onsen with three separate bath areas. The two large indoor baths run gender-separated throughout the day. The garden open-air bath, Konin-no-yu (光仁の湯), switches between men and women on a set schedule, so overnight guests can use it in both shifts. There is also a private reserved rotenburo, Saisai (彩々), bookable by the hour for overnight guests only. Free ganbanyoku (岩盤浴, a heated stone-bed session) is available in-house. The lobby looks out onto a Japanese garden, and the building has a restaurant, karaoke, and a game corner.

33. Yuraku, Awara Onsen, Fukui ★ Ryokan. I stayed at Koubou Gurabaatei, but there the bath cracked because of the earthquake. It seems they have the same owner (even inside, they are decorated in the same style and offer the same level of service), so they took us by minibus to Yuraku to bathe (about 5 min drive). Gurabaatei served pretty tasty food. One nice thing in both ryokan was the area with an SNES and a set of cartridges. I was in the baths with alternating men and women. In the first one, the sauna also had a hot bath. Otherwise, the men’s and women’s areas were similar, the first one was a bit larger. The pile of rocks in the baths themselves was also done nicely, it looks good and you can sit behind the rocks. The water was clear, I do not really remember the smell, and the temperature was fine. The men’s and women’s sign matched. Overall, it was decent. I was glad they handled the cracked bath case. 02.01.2024 03.01.2024
