Description
Nanao City in Ishikawa prefecture, located about 5 hours by Shinkansen and JR train from Tokyo, is a town of hot springs known as Wakura Onsen and a place where you can enjoy delicious dishes of fresh products from the ocean and mountains.
Located beside Nanao Bay on the Noto Peninsula, it is also known as one of the best high-class hot spring resorts in Japan and as the "ocean's hot spring." The resort town is dominated by massive ryokan complexes along the water's edge. There is a public square (hiroba) with a hot spring water fountain and a small park around a shrine and a hot spring source with water pipes. A few free foot baths (ashiyu) can also be found around town.
The hot springs have had many visitors and developed into a great spa resort. Drift off to another world as you sink into the hot spring waters. Wakura Onsen’s greatest attraction must be found in its plentiful volume of hot water and excellent location by the sea that allows you to relax and bath in nature's beauty. Clear hot waters, filtered by crystals contained in underground granite, never stop flowing. The water is said to have benefits for neuralgia, muscle aches, joint aches, stiff shoulders, chronic digestive diseases, piles, intolerance to cold, chronic skin diseases, frail children, and chronic female disorders, etc. As you soak in the bath, you will ease your heart, mind and soul. Release all the stress and tiredness accumulated from your journey, and warm yourself to the core.
Our options, fitting your wishes and budget, include an overnight stay and round trip by Shinkansen and JR train from Tokyo. There is also a free pick-up service from Wakura Onsen station, but if you want to use the service, you need to make a reservation.
