About

Saintpia Awara is the communal public bath at the heart of Awara Onsen, a Fukui resort town whose spring first came up in 1883. Two bath zones take turns weekly: Tennoyu (天の湯) on the upper floor has an open-air bath under the open sky, a hot tub, jet bath, and sauna; Chinoyu (地の湯) on the ground floor is a quieter indoor space with high ceilings, warm tub, jet bath, reclining bath, and sauna. Both zones have a cold plunge and outdoor air-bath area. The water is mildly salty and smooth on the skin.

32. Saintpia Awara, Awara Onsen, Fukui ★ The main public onsen in Awara. Locals come here a lot, and there were many people by opening time. They chat with the staff a lot, and even on the way there you can see people heading in wearing slippers and carrying their own basket with shampoo and towels. Inside there is a small place to eat, massage chairs, a small shop, and rest areas. About the onsen: - a large bath with water temperature below average; - a second large bath with normal temperature and bubbling water on one side; - a small regular bath, popular with locals, with normal temperature; - a small bath with 3 sections, where you can lie down and a stream of water hits your feet. The water in all of them is clear, and I do not remember the smell. There is a cold bath outside, and across the street there is also an entrance to the sauna. Overall, a solid onsen. 03.01.2024
