Overview
Awara Kitagata Onsen Kohanso Hanayurari is an onsen inn on the shore of Lake Kitagata. There is an open, airy open-air bath on the first floor and a view bath on the second floor looking out over the lake. The spring water is a sodium-calcium chloride spring. Rooms range from Japanese-style tatami rooms to Japanese-Western rooms and a special room; the Japanese-Western rooms sleep 2 to 6 guests and the special room 2 to 4. At dinner, elementary school children are served a menu with 2 to 3 fewer dishes than the adult meal, and children under school age receive a kids' meal. A facility use fee of 2,200 yen applies for children who co-sleep.
Rooms
Guest rooms face Lake Kitagata as standard, so every room looks out on the calm water. There are seven types: 10-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms (15 rooms), 15-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms (2 rooms), Japanese-Western rooms (4 rooms), a special room (1 room), Japanese-modern rooms (6 rooms), a triple room (1 room) and a single room (1 room), with a total capacity of 144 guests. The 10-tatami rooms take up to 5 guests and the 15-tatami rooms 3 to 7 guests, so they suit everyone from couples to large family groups. The Japanese-Western rooms combine an 8-tatami Japanese-style area with an 18-square-meter twin room and sleep 2 to 6 guests, making them a good fit for two- and three-generation family trips. The special room combines a 10-tatami twin area with a Western-style room and sleeps 2 to 4 guests; it looks out on Lake Kitagata from three sides, and you can see the lake from its bathtub as well. Guest rooms have a toilet with a bidet function.
Dining
Dinner is served either in the restaurant overlooking Lake Kitagata or in the 90-tatami banquet hall, which can be divided into three. Breakfast is served from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and dinner from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Elementary school children are served a menu with 2 to 3 fewer dishes than the adult meal, and children booked on the under-school-age rate with meals included receive a kids' meal.
Baths and Onsen
There is an open, airy open-air bath on the first floor and a view bath on the second floor with a sweeping outlook over Lake Kitagata. The spring water is a sodium-calcium chloride spring, listed as beneficial for neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, sensitivity to cold, recovery from fatigue and general health. In the special room, you can also take in the lake from the bathtub.
Family-Friendly Features
Children who co-sleep are charged a facility use fee of 2,200 yen. Dinner is adjusted for elementary school children and for children under school age, and plans that include meals for children under school age come with a kids' meal.

Elementary school children and children who have not yet started elementary school receive a passport exchange voucher, but no voucher is provided for children ages 2 and under.
