Awara Onsen Grandia Housen

Yutorogi-tei (離れ ゆとろぎ亭) garden rooms with an onsen open-air bath, 1F (14 rooms), or the Kokomichi-tei room with an open-air bath

The best value for a private bath: each ground-floor room in this separate wing has its own garden and an onsen tub big enough for two (Japanese-style, Western-style or mixed rooms; standard rooms have a shower room rather than an indoor tub). Yutorogi-tei and Kokomichi-tei guests can also use the hinoki baths, which only the annex and these wings may use, and which a blogger and a September 2026 guest found almost empty even when the inn was full. The standard kaiseki plan has dinner in private rooms at the Yūzen restaurant, and Jalan listed it from ¥36,300 per person on 13 October 2026; a blogger quoted Saturday rates from ¥44,400 per person in 2025. 2026 guests loved the open-air bath and the kaiseki. One July 2026 family found a few frogs in their outdoor washing area. Kokomichi-tei (renovated 2021) has nine standard and three deluxe twin rooms with a tatami living area, plus one room with an onsen bath. It has its own free lounge, but a blogger warned that its onsen room is compact and that the upstairs open-air bath looks towards the car park.

Annex Kotobukitei (別邸 個止吹気亭) suites with an onsen open-air bath — 16 rooms, 70–140㎡

The quiet, upmarket option behind its own lattice door: six garden suites on 1F (80㎡, two tatami rooms or a tatami room plus twin beds), nine Comfort suites on 2F (70㎡, with a sky-view bath), and the 140㎡ Royal Suite Fuji. The annex has its own kitchen and chef serving monthly kaiseki (October 2026: steamed abalone, matsutake dobin-mushi, A5 Wakasa beef, Ōno buckwheat soba and a Fukui-salmon kamameshi). Garden suites eat in the room; Comfort suites eat in the private Kotobuki dining rooms (opened November 2023). Checkout is 11:00. On 13 October 2026 Jalan listed annex rooms from ¥48,400 per person with the Wakasa-beef kaiseki (or with the buffet), and from ¥108,900 with the Echizen-crab kaiseki. In August 2026, a family travelling with a wheelchair user praised the care and the food, but waited a long time for the rest of the family's in-room courses, and found check-in muddled. A blogger noted that the annex has its own private lounge.

Sakura-tei SUITE (さくら亭SUITE) semi-open-air rooms, and older rooms in the main tower

The 11 Sakura-tei SUITE rooms (opened March 2023) look modern and bright, but two bloggers point out that the semi-open-air tub is not onsen water, and Sakura-tei guests cannot use the hinoki baths. In October 2026 a guest tripped over the many steps inside a suite, and in September 2026 a returning guest found the open-plan suite visible from the corridor whenever the door opened, with a smelly toilet. The cheapest Kōsuiden rooms are large (15–16 tatami, with rice-field views) and fine if you are mainly there for the buffet, but an August 2026 two-star review found an older room with a smell, and a September 2026 guest was kept up until after 23:30 by noise from the room above. Kōsuiden rooms 501 and 502 are the main tower's only rooms with an onsen open-air bath.
