Wakayama · Hotel Hanakazari

1

A small inn overlooking Tsunashirazu Bay

• 🏡A small free-flowing hot spring inn with only 8 rooms on a 500-tsubo plot, limited to eight groups a day.
• 🌊It stands on a hill in Shirahama Onsen, one of Japan's three great hot springs, and the lobby looks out over calm Tsunashirazu Bay.
• 🌹The name's "flower" refers to the seasonal flowers grown here, centred on 30 varieties of roses, and "decoration" to the pressed and preserved flowers that adorn the inn.

2

Hoshi-no-Yu private open-air bath

• ♨️All three baths (two indoor, one open-air) are private, so families and couples can bathe together.
• 🆓If a bath is free, you can use it as often as you like at no charge and without reservation; about an hour per visit is requested.
• 🌌The open-air Hoshi-no-Yu changes mood with the time of day, from blue sky to sunset to starry night.

Untouched source water

• 💧The water is 100% free-flowing natural hot spring with no water added, no reheating and no recirculation, and carries a sulphur scent.
• 🧪It is a sodium chloride spring, listed for muscle and joint pain, lower back pain, neuralgia, frozen shoulder and weak digestion, among others.
• 🛁Tsuki-akari-no-Yu is roomy enough for families, while La Vie en Rose is the smallest yet deep enough to soak to your shoulders while seated.

• 📺Each room has an LCD TV, and women can borrow colourful yukata free of charge.
