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

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.
