Discovered more than 1,300 years ago by the Buddhist monk who founded nearby Natadera Temple, Awazu Onsen is one of the storied hot spring retreats comprising the Kaga Onsen area. The tranquil town offers travelers a serene dive into traditional Japanese wellness with its pure, mineral-rich healing waters. It is famously home to Hoshi Ryokan, an extraordinary inn founded in 718 that ranks among the world's oldest continuously operating businesses. A stay here promises atmospheric strolls, timeless hospitality, and a truly ancient onsen experience.
