Overview
Hotel Wansai is an onsen inn in Mihama-cho, Fukui, with Wakasa Bay spreading out right in front of it. Rooms come in four types - Japanese-style tatami rooms, Western-style rooms, Japanese-Western rooms and special rooms - and many of them look out over the sea. Meals center on seafood such as crab and fugu (pufferfish), and dishes accommodating allergies can be arranged. During the summer holidays, a dinner buffet plan that children can enjoy is offered. The natural onsen communal bath also has sea views, and Kugushi Beach is a 1-minute walk away for the whole family to enjoy.
Rooms
Guest rooms come in four types: Japanese-style tatami rooms, Western-style rooms, Japanese-Western rooms and special rooms. The Japanese-style tatami rooms measure 10 or 12 tatami mats and sleep up to 6 guests, and they are recommended for families with young children. Western-style rooms include 22 sq m twin rooms and 9.2 sq m single rooms. The special rooms have twin beds plus a 10-tatami Japanese-style area, along with a view bath that looks out over the sea. Many rooms take in a sweeping view of the Sea of Japan, though there are also some loft single rooms with no window. For children who co-sleep, a facility fee of 2,200 yen applies.
Dining
Dinner centers on kaiseki courses using snow crab, fugu (pufferfish) and Wakasa beef. Dishes accommodating allergies can be arranged. A dinner buffet plan is also offered during the summer holidays only: about 50 Japanese and Western dishes are all-you-can-eat, including nigiri sushi, Wakasa beef Hamburg steak and sauce katsu, all popular with children. Breakfast is a Japanese set meal served with sashimi and lightly salted grilled mackerel.
