Awara Kitagata Onsen Hana Yurari

Hana Yurari sits on the shore of Kitagata Lake in Awara, with wind turbines visible on the hills across the water. The ground-floor bath is half-open-air, roofed but open on the sides, so it stays usable in any weather while keeping an outdoor feel, and the second-floor bath looks straight over the lake, its colors changing with the season. Guest rooms come with a shower rather than their own tub, so bathing happens in these two shared baths.
