Saintpia Awara

The main and probably the only public onsen in Awara. The locals come here very actively, there were lots of people at opening time. The old regulars have their own crew - they actively chat with the staff, and on the way there you might spot them walking in slippers with their own basket of shampoo and towels. Inside there's a small food area, massage chairs, a small shop, and chill zones. I don't know if the baths swap, but I was in the lower indoor one. The area is divided into 4 baths: - large bath with below-average water temperature; - second large bath with normal temperature and bubbling water on one side; - small regular bath (the old guys sit there, but they let you in), normal temperature; - small bath with 3 sections where you can lie down and water jets hit your feet. Water in all of them is clear, I don't remember the smell. There's a cold water bath outside and across the street there's an entrance to a sauna. I photographed the composition chart only at the entrance, from it I understand there are like 4 types of source water (but I could be wrong). Overall solid, and given the unclear day-use situation in Awara, it's probably an auto-include for any visit.
