Private Onsen on Awaji Island
Senshin Waho Ryokan — a Healing Onsen Retreat
SENSHIN WAHO is a traditional, authentic Japanese ryokan that provides guests with a harmonious escape from the daily world into ancient hot spring traditions, seasonal Awaji cuisine, and ocean-view rooms. Located on the western coast of Awaji Island, known as the “Island of Beginnings” in Japanese mythology, it offers stunning views of the Seto Inland Sea. The ryokan’s name is a combination of “Senshin”—purified mind—and “Waho”—ancient Japanese natural therapy practices—which represents our philosophy of achieving perfect balance between body and mind with Japanese hospitality. Our Japanese-style inn is not only a place to stay, but a journey that takes you through the culture, wellness traditions, and natural beauty of Japan. Don’t miss out on this luxury Japanese ryokan with a private onsen bath on Awaji Island—make your reservation today.

Senshin no Yu Hot Spring
Natural Hot Spring Experience
The hot spring “Senshin no Yu” is a free-flowing hot spring that bubbles up from the heart of Awaji Island. The simple spring waters (hypotonic, slightly alkaline) are gentle on the skin, making them suitable for even those with sensitive skin to bathe in without irritating the body. Just by soaking in the hot spring, stiff muscles and joints, fatigue, coldness, and tension caused by stress will slowly melt away. Relaxing in the hot springs while surrounded by nature and looking out at the ocean view on Awaji Island is sure to leave you with a deep sense of relaxation and tranquility of mind.
