Overview
Awaji Musenkei, standing on Komoe Beach at Sumoto Onsen, is a hot-spring ryokan of the Hotel New Awaji group. Its baths are the pride of the property - an infinity bath that seems to stretch into the sky, an open-air bath at the water's edge, and the two-story bath pavilion 'Amanomiya no Shizuku,' all bringing the sea and hot water together. You can also tour three baths and two hot-spring sources across the group's hotels, plus two sauna-equipped private-hire baths. With special rooms featuring a private open-air bath, Japanese-style and Japanese/Western-style rooms, plans that guarantee in-room dining, and a kids' kaiseki course for elementary-school-age children, this is a good choice for families with young children or three generations traveling together who want to relax in the onsen.
Standing on Komoe Beach at Sumoto Onsen, Hotel New Awaji Bettei Awaji Musenkei is a hot-spring ryokan of the Hotel New Awaji group. Its ocean-themed baths in many styles are the highlight, making it a good fit for family trips centered on a relaxed onsen stay.
The biggest highlight is the onsen. The 'infinity bath' that appears to stretch into the sky, an open-air bath right at the water's edge, and the two-story bath pavilion 'Amanomiya no Shizuku' - shaped like a bathing boat floating on the sea - all bring together sea, sky and hot water for an open, expansive feel. Cross the seaside corridor and you can also enjoy touring three baths and two hot-spring sources across the group's hotels. There are also two private-hire baths with saunas, so families can enjoy the onsen on their own without worrying about other guests.
Rooms come in a variety of types, including onsen open-air baths in the room: Japanese-style rooms on the special 'Riraku' floor overlooking the Kii Channel, and special rooms on the Comfort floor of over 100 square meters with a private open-air bath. There are also Japanese-style and Japanese/Western-style rooms, so families with small children or three generations traveling together can relax. Even with a young baby, choosing a room with its own open-air bath means you don't need to worry about the communal bath.
Meals center on seafood from Awaji Island - long known as an imperial food-offering region - along with Awaji beef. In summer you can enjoy seasonal kaiseki courses such as a full menu of live pike conger, and some plans guarantee in-room dining, so you can eat without worrying about other guests even if the kids get lively. Elementary-school-age children are served a kids' kaiseki course, so they too can enjoy a special dining experience.
It's about a 15-minute drive from Sumoto IC. The location makes it easy to visit family-friendly sightseeing spots such as the Naruto whirlpool cruise and Awaji Farm Park England Hill. Note that this hotel is centered on a refined, relaxed stay built around the onsen and cuisine, rather than kids' play equipment or a pool as the main draw. Please confirm loan items for babies and meal arrangements directly with the hotel when you book. Late checkout is available, extending the usual 10 a.m. checkout to 11 a.m.
