The other day I went to Awara Onsen (Hotspring) and stayed at a hotel called, 'Matsuya SenSen'. The reason I chose this hotel was I just LOVE the onsen bath there. It's spacious and has a variety of bathtubs, large, small, Jacuzzi, sauna both inside and outside the bathing area. Also, the building itself and the rooms are large, comfortable, beautifully decorated. The staff provides top-level, five-star hospitality. When I visited, since it was during summer vacation, many families with small children were there, enjoying the various facilities in the hotel, such as a swimming pool, game room, morning market, etc. For further information please read my other article on Matsuya SenSen!
