湯の郷 絢ほのか

It is a good place to relax for a long afternoon. Good service, decent food, comfortable, clean facilities, and friendly staff. It does get quite busy during peak hours during weekends and on holidays.

Lovely spa resort that surprised me with the great range of their services! There's also a ganban'yoku hot stone spa with no additional cost except for the rental items. The auto-löyly system that is activated hourly in the sauna was extremely hot, and therefore good for lovers of high-temperature saunas. I personally liked the medicinal bath in the outdoor area. The entrance fee was a bit cheaper during the weekday, and there weren't that many people around yet in the afternoon, but more people started pouring in during the course of the evening.

I went to this and its sibling onsen Teine Onsen in two consecutive days. They were very similar and different in subtle ways. In conclusion, I thought the latter won. But Aya was still worthy of 5 stars. Like Teine, you could stay overnight for a small sum of extra fee. Aya also had shuttle buses to carry customers to and from the onsen resort. Refer to official web site for timetable, pickup and drop-off points.

I went here yesterday for the Onsen it was not the traditional Japanese onsen. When you enter the building has a lot of objects and wallpaper that is related to India. If you are planning to go in the Midnight don’t go they will take extra fee for staying the night. I will recommend to go here only in the daytime if you are not staying the night.

It is very nice place to take a rest! Feels a little expensive compare to others local public baths. But there are spacious places for baths and the event rooms to be heated my bodies on the floor!
